Summary:Preventing abnormal scar formation and correcting non-aesthetic mature scars are important to prevent physical and psychosocial consequences of abnormal scarring. Evidence-based guidelines for scar management in Asian patients recommend first-line silicone-based products.

Herein, we report a case series including patients with hypertrophic and keloid scars treated with Dermatix, showing that Dermatix is effective for scar treatment and prevention, as well as expert consensus supporting the safe and effective use of Dermatix.
