Description
STRATADERM is a professional scar therapy gel developed by Stratpharma AG in Switzerland. This advanced silicone gel is designed to manage both old and new scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. It is effective for scars resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, bites, acne, and other skin conditions.

STRATADERM is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is safe for use by children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. It is odorless, free from alcohol, parabens, and fragrances, and does not require additional moisturizers. Once dry, it can be easily covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, or clothing.
