RT-Gel provides an optimal environment for tissue healing

Minimally invasive dermato-surgical procedures have become popular worldwide

Such procedures are not concluded until the treated tissues are completely recovered.
Post-operative skin care is as crucial as the procedure.
A good clinical result depends on an optimal wound healing process.

An ideal primary dressing should:

Be formulated as a transparent, semipermeable, easily applicable and removable topical gel.
Be able to transform into a highly pliable, super-thin film, perfectly conforming to all irregularities of the skin.
Its external layer should dry rapidly and resist environmental stress.
Its inner layer should provide a uniformly moist environment because acute wounds heal 40% faster when kept moist.

Silicone (RT-Gel), a semipermeable gel formulation is:

Cosmetically acceptable
Easy to apply
Capable of providing a protective skin surface micro environment, which, in turn, leads to optimal and faster wound healing after a full-face ablative laser procedure.

Silicone enables all biologically active cells and their related cytokines and growth factors to work undisturbed during wound healing, which may reduce the risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
