Silicone Gel for Post-Procedure Skin: How and When to Use It
Silicone gels form a breathable film over skin. Here is how they are used in Korean post-procedure routines and what to know first.
What silicone gel does
Silicone gels create a thin, flexible film that helps keep skin hydrated and protected. They are widely used in post-procedure care.
How to apply
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once the area has closed. Let it dry for a minute before other products.
Important note
Products intended to treat scars may be regulated differently in the U.S. Ask a clinician about scar management; use cosmetic gels for comfort and hydration.
Frequently asked questions
Can I wear makeup over silicone gel?
Usually yes, once it dries.
How long should I use it?
Follow your clinician's advice; many routines run for several weeks.
