How Does BAPSCARCARE Silicone Work?
Damaged skin loses too much moisture. BAPSCARCARE protects the skin from excessive moisture loss. The silicone plaster or the silicone gel temporarily takes over the barrier function of the skin. To explain how it works, we will tell you more about skin damage, the development of scars and the use of silicone after wound closure.
Superficial skin damage
In places where the skin is damaged, the body gets to work to repair the skin.
If only the superficial skin (epidermis) is damaged, for example in the case of a scrape, the skin usually recovers smoothly and invisibly.
Please note: The (epithetic) skin is not the same thickness in all places. Whether skin damage has also affected deeper layers of skin cannot be judged with the naked eye. That is why good skin care after skin damage is advisable.
A Scar
When it comes to a deeper wound, where the underlying and deeper skin (dermis) has also been damaged, scar skin often develops during the repair process.
Deep or major damage means that the supply of building blocks is not sufficient to restore the skin. In order to close the skin, the body produces scar tissue.
The newly formed scar skin is less elastic and lacks a number of functions that healthy skin has.
Why do scars cause problems?
What is scar tissue?
Scar tissue is a solution of the body to close a wound as quickly as possible. This is necessary to protect the body from infections and excessive fluid loss. (Recently) closed scar tissue is of lower quality than normal skin and, for example, lacks good moisture balance.
Exaggerated growth of scar tissue
The disturbed moisture balance ensures a high evaporation of water through the skin. As a counter-reaction to the high water evaporation, the body will produce extra scar tissue. This is to prevent water evaporation. This process can lead to visible scarring with many complaints and even loss of function.
Common scar complaints are:
Itching, dry skin
Persistent red skin
Less supple, painful skin
Thickening on your skin
Tightness skin
