Among the available treatments, silicone gel sheets have shown considerable promise in scar reduction.

According to a PubMed study conducted in August 2022 involving 45 patients divided into three groups, both conventional and modified silicone gel sheets significantly reduced scarring as measured by the Japan Scar Workshop (JSW) Scar Scale at 3 and 6 months post-application, compared to the control group.

The study highlighted that modified silicone gel sheets offered effectiveness comparable to conventional versions while demonstrating a high level of safety, particularly with no adverse events reported on laparoscopic surgical scars.
