Dermatix Ultra Kids is a clear, topical silicone gel adapted from Dermatix Ultra Gel specifically for children’s skin. Its active ingredient is polysiloxane, the same long-chain silicone polymer used in the adult version. Once applied, it dries into a thin, almost invisible film over the scar, reducing water loss and keeping the area hydrated so the scar gradually softens, flattens, and fades. The key difference from the adult version is a faster-drying texture that lowers the chance of a child touching or licking the gel before it sets, along with a clearly stated age range for use.

According to the manufacturer, Dermatix Ultra Kids is suitable for children aged 3 months and up, once the wound has fully closed and new skin has covered it — whether from surgery, a burn, or an accidental injury common in childhood. This clearly stated age range is something the adult version, Dermatix Ultra Gel, does not specify. For infants under 3 months, premature babies, or children with especially sensitive skin, check with a doctor or pharmacist before starting rather than guessing that a child can tolerate it.

Dermatix Ultra Kids is used for hypertrophic scars common in childhood, such as surgical scars, burns from hot water — a frequent accident at this age — scrapes from falls, and ear-piercing scars. It suits both fresh scars that have just closed and older scars that have stayed raised for a while, helping reduce the height, redness, and itching or tightness that often come with a child’s raised scar, smoothing the surface closer to normal skin. It is not designed for pitted acne scars or stretch marks, which form through a different process.

Clean and fully dry the scarred area before every application. Squeeze out a small amount and spread it thinly to form a film over the whole scar, twice daily — morning and before bed. Watch the child so they don’t touch or lick the area until the gel has dried into a film. Most small scars start showing change after 3 months of continuous use, while larger burn or surgical scars may need 6-9 months. The 5g tube suits one or two small scars. There is no need to cover the area with a dressing afterwards unless a doctor advises otherwise.

Side effects from Dermatix Ultra Kids are uncommon and usually mild — occasional itching, redness, or slight irritation at the application site, which typically resolves once use stops. If swelling, burning, or a spreading rash occurs, stop use immediately, rinse with clean water, and check with a pharmacist or doctor before reapplying. Children with sensitive skin should patch-test a small area of normal skin for a day or two first, before applying it to the actual scar, to reduce the chance of a reaction on skin that is more delicate than an adult’s. If a small amount is accidentally swallowed it is usually not seriously harmful since the gel is not absorbed into the body, but see a doctor promptly for safety.

Dermatix Ultra Gel (Polysiloxane) is the same active ingredient in an adult formula, without a stated age range and with a slightly slower-drying texture — better suited to adults and older children who can manage it themselves. Hiruscar Gel Kids (Allium Cepa) is also a children’s scar gel, but built around onion extract for its anti-inflammatory effect, a different mechanism from the occlusive silicone film here. In short: choose Dermatix Ultra Kids for a true silicone gel with a clearly stated children’s age range, Dermatix Ultra Gel for adults, and Hiruscar Gel Kids for a natural-extract option for children.

Sunscreen can be applied over Dermatix Ultra Kids as usual, once the gel has dried fully into a film. Avoid layering another scar product over the same area at the same time, as it may reduce how well the silicone film performs. Leave at least a one-day gap when switching to a different product, and check with a doctor or pharmacist before combining it with any other topical medicine on the same spot.

Silicone gel does not work instantly — it needs consistent daily use. Most small scars start showing change within 4-8 weeks, with clearer results after a full 3 months. Larger burn or surgical scars seen in children may need 6-9 months of continuous use before a clear change appears. Applying it consistently every day matters more for speed of results than how much gel is used per application.
