Advanced technology

Cica-Care Gel Sheet occludes the skin to hydrate the scar area, helping the moisture locked into the skin around the scar. This helps to reduce the blood supply and deposits of collagen, which is what the body uses to rebuild the deeply wounded skin.

When you should use Cica-Care
