Description
What is Stratacel?
Stratacel is an advanced transparent, semi-occlusive wound dressing to be used following fractional rejuvenation procedures. It was developed with a lower viscosity which makes it easier to spread and remove. Stratacel was designed to adhere gently to skin and for all skin types. It is suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, children or people with sensitive skin.
How does Stratacel work?
- Stratacel provides a moist wound healing environment. Stratacel minimizes water loss while maintaining the oxygen transfer rate.
- Epidermal cells are able to move rapidly over the surface of the dermis through exudate which collects at the wound-dressing interface.
- Manages secondary tissue damage resulting from dehydration.
- Stratacel emulates the epidermal barrier and enhances the healing of wounds. Stratacel minimizes water loss while maintaining the oxygen transfer rate.
- The wound is kept in an optimal environment for healing.
How to use Stratacel?
Apply once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.
Applying Stratacel
Step 1: Ensure that the affected skin or superficial wound is clean. Gently pat dry as much excess exudate or wound fluid from the area as possible prior to the gel application.
Step 2: Apply a very thin layer of Stratacel directly on the affected area and allow the gel to dry.
Step 3: When applied correctly, Stratacel should be dry in 5-6 minutes. If it takes longer to dry, you have probably applied too much. Gently remove any excess gel with a tissue or paper towel and allow the drying process to continue. Remember: a little amount of gel goes a long way.
Step 4: Once dry, Stratacel can be covered with clothes, sunscreen or cosmetics.
Treatment duration
For resurfacing and ablative procedures, continued use is recommended for a minimum treatment of 30 days (24 hours a day/7 days a week) or until no further improvement is seen.
