Dermatix Ultra is a patent pending proprietary formula containing three high quality silicone fluids, along with cyclopentasiloxane and a unique patented Vitamin C ester. This gives a silky texture and makes the formula quick drying. It can be safely used by children or adults.

Essentially Dermatix Ultra dries to form a barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. This creates an environment which allows better organization of the collagen and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar. Scars largely develop because collagen deposition is more random during the healing stages.

The recommended minimum treatment time is 60–90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer and continued use is recommended as long as improvement is seen.

It is intended for the management of old and new hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds and burns. Hypertrophic scars are confined to the original site of injury or surgery while keloids grow beyond the original site boundaries.

Although there are anecdotal reports of improvement in stretch marks, there are no studies to demonstrate this. Indented scars, like ‘ice pick’ scars, associated with acne are generally not responsive to silicone gel as they are not usually related to a proliferation or disorganization of collagen.
