Scars & Marks

Scars and marks can form as the skin heals after surgery, injury, acne or burns, and while they fade naturally over time, some can remain noticeable. At GetMyMeds we offer silicone-based products designed to support the appearance of scars as they mature.

How It Works

Our scar products are available over the counter without a consultation. Browse the range, choose what suits you and add it to your basket. If you have concerns about a scar, a wound that hasn't fully healed, or any changing skin mark, it's best to speak to our pharmacist or your healthcare team first.

Choosing a Treatment

Silicone gels are a widely used option for managing the appearance of scars. They're generally applied to clean, fully healed skin and used consistently over a period of weeks to months, as scar improvement takes time. Protecting scars from the sun can also help. Results vary from person to person, and these products are intended to support the appearance of scars rather than remove them completely. Always read the patient information leaflet.

FAQ

How long should I use a silicone scar gel for? Scars take time to mature, so these products are usually applied consistently over several weeks to months. Follow the instructions on the pack for best results.

Can I use scar gel on a fresh wound? No. Scar products are generally intended for skin that has fully healed and closed over. If in doubt, check with our pharmacist.

Will a scar product remove my scar completely? These products aim to improve the appearance of scars rather than remove them entirely, and results vary from person to person.
