Medical Aspect of Silicone Gel.

• Several mechanisms of action have been proposed in relation to scar management. However, the exact mechanism of action by which silicone gel works is still unknown.
• Many have agreed that it acts at the stratum corneum (the uppermost layer of the epidermis), which reduces evaporation and restore homeostasis (Skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials).
• Recent publications have also demonstrated that in-vitro (Taking place in a test tube, culture dish, or elsewhere outside a living organism.), there has been a  positive effect of silicone over growth factors and collagen concentration.
