Do Silicone Pads Get Rid Of Wrinkles?

Silicone pads are noted as a non-invasive solution to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, crepey skin, scars, and mean that there is no need for the use of invasive skin treatments such as profhilo, fillers, botox, or retinol. Here we look at the actual science behind them, how they work, and the results that you can realistically expect to achieve.

The Science Behind Silicone Pads

Silicone pads are made of exactly that, 100% medical grade silicone. Silicone has a fantastic profile and has historically been used, and still is used, within the medical and healthcare industry for the treatment of scars.

Wrinkles are formed by lack of collagen production and hydration. Silicone pads deprive the skin of oxygen so it has to draw moisture from deeper layers to the skin's surface. This microclimate of moisture and oxygen just under the pad causes plumping and reduces wrinkles. It also increases blood flow, which helps collagen production. Added bonus: it keeps our skin taut as we sleep, so it helps reduce creasing overnight as we toss and turn - perfect for side sleepers.

Silicone aids in the moisturisation of the skin and increases hydration from within by drawing the skin’s natural moisture - hyaluronic acid - to the stratum corneum (the skin's surface).

Wrinkles are simply treated like scars and silicone creates the perfect environment by rehydrating, improving collagen structure and flatten wrinkles.

These are fantastic silicone pads. They really do prevent (and remove!) those annoying vertical 'old lady' cleavage wrinkles. I've always been a 'side sleeper' and have had these annoying ageing wrinkles since my 20's. But since using these pads, I struggle to see a single wrinkle in the morning after I've removed them. So good value for money too. It literally saves me £400 in dermal filler every 6 months, which is what I used to spend trying to plump out the deep vertical lines that would always form.

Does One Pad Treat Everywhere?

No! SilcSkin has cleverly created individual silicone pads to fit the treatment area perfectly with absolutely no adhesive. The adhesiveness is created by the way the silicone patches are cured during manufacturing.

How Do You Use Silicone Pads?

Silicone patches work very easily and are even suitable for sensitive skin types, though it’s important to ensure you follow the manufacturer instructions closely.

1. Prepare your skin: Start with completely clean, dry skin. Remove all makeup, skincare products, and sunscreen from the treatment area.

2. Apply the pad: Take the silicone pad from its plastic backing card, gently stretch your skin taut, and press the pad firmly onto the area. The pad works on its own—no additional products needed!

3. Wear duration: For quick results before special occasions, wear for at least 1 hour. For maximum benefits, wear overnight (8+ hours) while sleeping.

4. Remove and store: In the morning, gently peel off the pad and place it back onto its plastic backing card, adhesive side down.

Note: If you experience redness or irritation, it usually means your skin wasn't completely clean and dry before application. True allergic reactions to medical-grade silicone are extremely rare.

How Do You Look After Silicone Pads?

With proper storage and care, silicone pads can last up to 30 uses. Make sure you’re following the best practices below to get the most from your purchase!

Cleaning Instructions:

1. When to clean: First clean your pads after the first or second use

2. How to clean: Wash with a gentle product, such as SilcSkin Cleanser or a mild baby shampoo

3. Drying: Let dry completely with the adhesive side facing up

4. Storage: Once dry, place back onto the plastic backing card

Lifespan & Maintenance:

• Expected uses: Most pads last approximately 30 uses (eye pads 15-20 uses due to their thinner material)

• Normal wear: Slight lifting around the edges is normal and won't affect performance as long as the center portion remains adhesive

• Restoring adhesiveness: If pads lose stickiness due to skincare product residue or sweat, you can:

• Use a hairdryer on low heat to revive the adhesive properties

• Gently clean with rubbing alcohol or witch hazel to remove contaminants

Conclusion

Silicone patches really do work to reduce wrinkles and smooth fine lines and the science is there to back up all the claims however, just like with anything skincare related, they have to be in consistent use and require your utmost dedication and commitment in wearing them daily. But in just one night you can notice a difference!
