Dermatix - a simple, effective treatment to improve the appearance of old
and new scars

Valeant Pharmaceuticals has launched Dermatix, a unique topical silicone
gel indicated for the management and prevention of hypertrophic and keloid
scars from burns, trauma, surgery, laser abrasion, chemical peels and other
trauma. Also used as an aid for the management of associated erythema and
discolouration of scars.

Dermatix is a quick-drying dressing, forming a flexible transparent and
odourless silicone sheet, which is waterproof and gas permeable that acts
like an extra layer of the skin. Dermatix helps to flatten, soften and
smooth scars while maintaining the moisture balance and elasticity of the
adjacent skin. It reduces the itching associated with scars. Dermatix can
also be used on children.

Use twice daily for a minimum of 2 months on unbroken skin. Allow to dry
for 4-5 minutes before covering with clothing, cosmetics or sunscreen.
Further benefits may result from extended use.


Dermatix is available in pharmacies as a 15g tube. RRP $59.
