Improve Scar Appearance with BioCorneum®

We understand that post-surgical care is just as important as the procedure itself. That’s why we recommend BioCorneum®, a medical-grade silicone gel designed to reduce scar redness, discoloration, and thickness while also helping to soften and flatten scars. This advanced formula includes SPF 30, offering critical protection against UV exposure that can darken healing scars.

BioCorneum® is an essential part of the post-surgical scar care regimen for breast surgeries, tummy tucks, arm lifts, and other procedures where scar healing is a priority.

How BioCorneum® Works

BioCorneum® forms a breathable, flexible silicone barrier over the scar, helping the skin retain moisture while preventing excess collagen buildup that can lead to raised, firm scars. This process supports smoother, softer scar healing and reduces the risk of long-term discoloration.

Why Dr. Rodriguez Recommends BioCorneum®

  • RReduces redness and discoloration for a more natural-looking scar.
  • RSoftens and flattens scars by regulating collagen production.
  • RProvides SPF 30 sun protection to prevent UV-related darkening.
  • RDries quickly and remains invisible, allowing for easy daily use.
  • RCan be used with other skincare products, including makeup and lotion.

How to Use BioCorneum®for Best Results

When to Start Using BioCorneum®

Most patients can begin applying BioCorneum® four weeks after surgery, once the incision has healed sufficiently. During your post-operative appointment, Dr. Rodriguez will evaluate your progress and confirm when to start.

Application Instructions

  • RApply to clean, dry skin along all scars, twice daily (morning and evening).
  • RDo not apply over Brijjits (small plastic tension-reducing devices) until they naturally fall off in 3–4 weeks.
  • RFor firmer, rope-like areas, firmly massage the gel into the scar using your fingertips.
  • RAllow the gel to fully dry before applying makeup, lotion, or other skincare products.
  • RContinue using BioCorneum® for at least 2–3 months after surgery for optimal results.

Additional Scar Management for Enhanced Healing

Scar Massage

Scar massage can further improve scar flexibility and softness. Dr. Rodriguez recommends:

  • RSelf-Massage – Regular firm massage along the scar to loosen scar tissue.
  • RLymphatic Massage – Helps reduce swelling and soften scars, available at ACPS Med Spa or through mobile services.
  • RNuEra Radiofrequency – A professional treatment to warm, soften, and break down scar tissue more effectively than massage alone.

Sun Protection

New scars are highly sensitive to sun exposure, which can cause unwanted darkening and inflammation. To protect your results:

  • RAvoid direct sun exposure whenever possible.
  • RWear protective clothing, hats, and sunscreen when outside.
  • RContinue using BioCorneum® SPF 30 for ongoing protection.

What to Expect During Scar Healing

It’s normal for scars to appear red, thick, or dark in the first 2–6 months post-surgery. Over time, they will gradually fade and soften, but full scar maturation can take up to a year. If additional treatment is needed, Dr. Rodriguez can discuss further scar management options at your next visit.
