Epi-Derm and Epi-Derm Natural are the premium silicone gel sheeting available for scar management. Original clear Epi-Derm set the standard for comfort and quality more than 20 years ago, and is still regarded by surgeons as the superior choice in unlined silicone gel sheeting. Epi-Derm Natural offers all the advantages of original Epi-Derm, but with a soft, natural colored fabric liner. The areola circles are ideally dimensioned silicone gel sheets for small hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from areola reconstruction and breast augmentation surgery. The areola circles can be cut to size and complement the pairs of mastopexy forms, which are sold separately.
Epi-Derm Sheeting: Medical Grade Polymerized Siloxanes (100% Clear Silicone Gel). Epi-Derm Natural adds a Lycra (Spandex) fabric liner
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Wash both scar and hands per cleaning instructions. Open the non-sterile pouch containing the Epi-Derm Silicone Gel Sheet. Remove the gel sheeting from the plastic substrate liner(s) prior to use. Epi-Derm may be cut into smaller pieces using scissors or a scalpel. Once you have determined the appropriate size of sheeting to use, apply tacky side to the scar. The gel sheeting should fully cover the scar and extend ¼ inch all the way around the scar border. If the product is worn during sleep, it should be secured. Use of medical tape (Epi-Tape) or other means is recommended to keep the sheet from falling off.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the Epi-Derm every 12 hours to wash both the scar and the gel sheet using SilqueClenz. In a basin of warm water, work up a small amount of lather with the soap. Gently wash the piece of gel sheeting in the soapy water, rinse, and then air dry. Make sure the sheeting is completely dry before reapplying to the scar. After washing, rinsing and drying the scar site, reapply the piece of gel sheeting.
WEARING TIME
Optimal wearing time for Epi-Derm Silicone Gel Sheeting is 24 hours per day. If it is not possible to wear the gel sheet for the recommended 24-hour period, a minimum of 12 hours per day is required, washing per the instructions above once in that period. Follow this procedure each day, washing and reapplying the gel sheeting to the scar for 1 to 2 weeks. At that time the piece of gel sheeting will begin to lose its adhesive quality and/or may become embedded with surface dirt. When this occurs, discard the piece of gel sheeting and apply a new piece. The overall optimal period of use is usually 8 to 12 weeks.

I recently had breast reconstruction and was left with various scars around both nipples and underneath each breast. My plastic surgeon recommended two particular brands, one of which is Biodermis. I have used them daily for 2 months now. I have another month to go but I must say, they are very easy to apply and last for an entire week. You don't feel them at all and I even forgot I was wearing them and left them on during baths - a no-no. I've started to see fading, but am not sure if it has more to do with the normal healing process or the addition of wearing the patches. Time will tell and I will update this review in a month. I also bought the "lollipop" type as well. I was told to cut off the bottom portion and use them under each breast which works beautifully. Give them a try!
