Biocorneum Scar Gel

DIMINISH SCARS WITH BIOCORNEUM SCAR GEL

BioCorneum® is a quick drying, patented silicone gel that creates an invisible silicone sheet over the scar and is FDA cleared. The invisible protective barrier is breathable, flexible, waterproof, and the only silicone scar gel that provides protection from the sun.

BioCorneum® binds with the stratum corneum (the outer layer of skin cells) to protect the underlying tissue against chemical, microbial and physical invasion of the scar. BioCorneum® hydrates the scarred area and creates an environment which allows the scar to mature through normal collagen synthesis cycles and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar. Sun may hamper proper healing of scars and the SPF 30 UV protection ingredients in BioCorneum® may protect the maturing scar from the darkening effects of sun exposure, a feature unique to BioCorneum® as it is the only patented silicone scar treatment of this kind. Drs. Hendrick’s and Velargo’s scar management plan incorporates the patented silicone formulation in BioCorneum® because it has been shown to help prevent abnormal scarring after procedures as well as help to flatten, soften, and smooth scars, reduce discoloration, as well as relieve associated itch, pain and discomfort of scars.

HOW BIOCORNEUM® WILL ENHANCE YOUR SCAR MANAGEMENT:

  • Self-dries to form a transparent, flexible sheet within 4-5 minutes
  • Softens and flattens raised scars
  • Reduces redness and discoloration
  • Relieves associated itch and discomfort
  • SPF 30 UV protection ingredients may protect scars from sun-induced erythema (redness) and discoloration
  • Water-resistent
  • Once dry, cosmetics may be applied
  • Ideal for the face, neck, chest, hands, and any other area exposed to the sun
  • BioCorneum® forms a thin silicone flexible sheet that is perfect to be used on flexures, joints, irregular surfaces, as well as large area scars

    I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with the results of the procedures from Drs. Velargo and Hendrick!! They are very caring and professional in the care of their patients and the office staff rocks!! They listened to the concerns that brought me to their office for correction, then suggested options with sincerity. I felt very comfortable with both of them and will most definitely be a patient of theirs for life!!

    My experience here was truly wonderful. Dr. Gary took her time and really talked to me about what my expectations were and how we could achieve it. She’s very kind and makes you feel like you can talk to her about all your concerns, no matter how minor. And the results were incredible and natural, which was a huge priority for me. The rest of the staff were fantastic as well, and they really make you feel welcome. The facility is beautiful and relaxing with a spa feel. I will definitely be back to see Dr. Gary and the rest of the lovely folks here!

    I was really nervous about getting a breast augmentation because I really wanted it to look natural and proportionate to my body. On my first visit/consultation Dr. Hendricks and his staff made me feel really comfortable! He truly listened to me and made me feel at ease throughout every step of the process. Very kind and personable doctor! I would 100% recommend them to anyone thinking about a procedure, especially if you’re looking for a natural look and a doctor who won’t pressure you otherwise! Bonus, the office is very beautiful (feels like a spa) with an incredible view of the city. Definitely check them out!
