WHY SHIELD?
Whenever the skin is damaged, whether from a fall, a cut, a treatment or even surgery, it immediately activates its incredible natural healing processes. Cells rush to repair the wound, rebuild tissue and restore skin health. But while the skin is designed to heal itself, it’s also vulnerable during this time. Without the right support, healing can be slower and scars may end up more visible, raised or discoloured.
That’s where shielding the skin properly makes all the difference. Creating the right environment around a wound helps it to heal faster and with fewer long-term marks. Medical-grade silicone is clinically proven to be one of the most effective scar therapies available. By keeping the skin hydrated, protected and cushioned, it regulates collagen production during the repair process. This not only speeds up healing but also helps scars fade more evenly, softens and flattens raised areas, and reduces redness and discomfort along the way.
Shield is our medical-grade silicon tape designed for exactly this purpose. It’s a flexible, breathable and self-adhesive to support optimal skin recovery. By protecting and calming compromised skin, Shield helps reduce irritation while promoting faster healing, leaving behind smoother, less noticeable scars and skin that feels stronger and healthier.

• Silicone Tape use for the prevention of linear surgical scarring is evident in reducing scar characteristics of height, colour and itch.
• Research indicates tapes with an element of stretch may have a positive impact.
• Through occlusion of the scar site and hydration of the wound, the overactivity of scar-related cells is suppressed, and their activity normalised.
• The clinical support of topical silicone gel products, relative to all alternative scar therapies, is considered the internationally recommended first-line form of scar management and favored by consensus among healthcare professionals.
