Flatten, fade, and heal — hands-free.
Pure Mama's Silicone Scar Strip is a reusable, medical-grade silicone sheet designed to reduce the appearance of raised, thickened, or discoloured scars. Using the clinically proven power of silicone occlusion, it works by hydrating the scar tissue, regulating collagen production, and applying gentle, consistent pressure — the gold standard in non-invasive scar treatment.
Designed specifically for postpartum recovery, it's ideal for C-section incisions, perineal tears, surgical wounds, and stretch marks. Discreet, comfortable, and reusable for up to 30 days.

Use
Once your wound has fully closed and your healthcare provider has given you clearance (typically 6–8 weeks post-birth), clean and dry the scar area thoroughly.
Peel the backing from the silicone strip and apply directly over the scar, pressing gently to ensure full contact. Wear for 8–12 hours per day, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Remove, rinse with mild soap, and allow to air dry before reapplying.
For enhanced results, combine with the Pure Mama Complex Scar Serum — apply the serum first, allow to absorb fully, then apply the strip on top.
Discontinue use if redness, rash, or irritation develops. Not suitable for use on open wounds, stitches, or unhealed skin. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting scar treatment.
FAQ
How does silicone occlusion therapy work?
Silicone creates a moist, oxygen-reduced microenvironment over the scar, which signals the body to reduce excess collagen production. This flattens hypertrophic and keloid scars over time. The gentle pressure also helps soften and remodel the scar tissue structure.
When can I start using the strip after my C-section or perineal tear?
Wait until your wound is fully healed and your healthcare provider confirms you can begin scar treatment — generally around 6–8 weeks postpartum. Never apply to an open wound, unhealed incision, or skin with active infection.
How long should I wear the strip each day?
For best results, aim to wear the strip for 8–12 hours per day. Many women wear it during the day under clothing, and remove it overnight. Consistency over several weeks is key to seeing improvement.
How long before I see results?
Most users notice improvements in scar texture and redness within 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use. More significant flattening and fading typically occurs over a 3–6 month period, depending on scar type and skin.
Can I wear it under clothing?
Yes. The strip is thin and discreet, designed to sit comfortably under everyday clothing, including underwear and waistbands. Secure fit ensures it stays in place during normal daily activities.
How do I clean and care for the strip?
After each use, rinse the strip with mild, unscented soap and warm water. Allow it to air dry completely before reapplying. Do not use alcohol, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials. When it loses its adhesion or becomes discoloured, replace with a new strip.
Can I use the strip with the Complex Scar Serum?
Yes — and we recommend it. Apply the serum to the scar area first, allow it to absorb, then place the silicone strip on top. The serum works at the cellular level while the strip provides occlusion and mechanical pressure for a comprehensive approach to scar healing.
Is the strip hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The strip is made from medical-grade silicone that is hypoallergenic, latex-free, and fragrance-free. It is suitable for sensitive and postpartum skin. If you notice any irritation, remove immediately and seek medical advice.
