bioCorneum®+ is the first and only patented blend of medical-grade silicone and SPF 30 cleared by the FDA for scar management. Once applied to fully closed incisions or healed burns, the gel self-dries within minutes to form a transparent, flexible silicone sheet. This breathable barrier hydrates the scar tissue, regulates collagen production, and helps flatten and soften raised scars.
Because the formula contains built-in sun protection, it shields vulnerable healing skin from UV rays that can darken scars. The water-resistant finish means you can shower, exercise, or apply makeup without worrying about the product washing away. With twice-daily use for the recommended treatment period, most patients notice gradual fading of redness, reduction in thickness, and overall smoother scar texture.
If you’re concerned about how a new or existing scar might heal, South Coast Plastic Surgery is here to help. Dr. Mark Song and our aesthetic nurses will create a customized scar management plan with bioCorneum®+ to support smooth, discreet healing and renewed confidence.

- Quick-Drying, Invisible FinishThe gel dries in about three minutes to form a clear, flexible sheet that can be covered with makeup, allowing you to resume daily activities without residue.
- Water-Resistant for Active LifestylesOnce set, bioCorneum®+ remains effective through light perspiration and showering, so you don’t have to interrupt treatment during exercise or routine hygiene.

Comprehensive Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a private consultation with Dr. Mark Song or one of our experienced aesthetic nurses. This visit is focused on understanding what changes you'd like to see and whether bioCorneum®+ is the right solution for your concerns.
During your consultation, your provider will:
• Examine the size, location, and maturity of your scar
• Discuss your medical history and any skin sensitivities
• Explain how bioCorneum®+ works and demonstrate application
• Outline the recommended duration and frequency of use
• Review complementary treatments that may enhance results
Together, you'll create a treatment plan tailored to your scar and lifestyle, with safety and realistic outcomes as the priority.
The bioCorneum®+ Application
Application is painless and requires no anesthesia. You’ll learn to apply a thin, even layer twice daily on clean, dry skin.
During the procedure:
• Cleanse the scar area and pat dry
• Dispense a pea-sized amount of gel
• Spread gently in one direction over the entire scar
• Allow the gel to self-dry for approximately three minutes
Once dry, the clear silicone sheet remains in place, and you may apply makeup, sunscreen, or clothing as usual.

bioCorneum®+ Results and Safety Considerations
Understanding how product application, scar anatomy, and diligent care affect bioCorneum®+ results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.
Achieving Natural-Looking Results
Natural-looking scar improvement relies on consistent silicone therapy that regulates excess collagen and maintains optimal hydration. bioCorneum®+ forms a breathable layer that mimics the skin’s natural barrier, allowing the scar to remodel gradually without the stress of environmental exposure.
Your individual scar characteristics—such as location, depth, and age—play a significant role in the final appearance. By following the recommended application schedule and protecting the area from sun exposure, most patients achieve a flatter, softer, and lighter scar that blends more seamlessly with surrounding skin.
Where Are the Incisions?
bioCorneum®+ is applied directly over closed incisions or healed burn areas once any sutures are removed and the skin is intact.
Linear surgical scars (e.g., breast, body, or facial incisions)
Incisions must be fully closed with no scabs before beginning treatment to ensure safe application.
Is Scarring a Concern?
All surgeries and injuries leave scars, but proper care can significantly improve their final appearance. Silicone therapy is considered a gold-standard, non-invasive option for managing new and established scars.
Scar Healing Timeline
As your body heals, scars will change gradually over time:
Weeks 1-2
Scars may appear red and slightly raised
Months 1-3
Scars typically soften and begin to flatten
Around 6 months
Noticeable fading often occurs
1-2 years
Scars may continue to lighten and become less noticeable
Following post-treatment instructions and recommended sunscreen use plays an important role in how scars mature.
Understanding Risks and Safety
Understanding Risks and Safety
bioCorneum®+ is generally well tolerated and has been studied in over 2,000 patients. However, as with any topical product, minor side effects can occur.
Potential risks may include:
• Mild skin irritation or redness
• Allergic reaction to silicone or sunscreen ingredients
• Acne-like breakout if applied too thickly
• Delayed wound healing if used on open skin
• Contact dermatitis
• Sensitivity to other skincare products applied concurrently
Your provider will review these risks with you in detail during your consultation and explain how they are minimized through careful timing of application, patch testing if needed, and regular follow-up.
Reducing Your Risk
Your safety is a top priority at South Coast Plastic Surgery. Steps taken to support a safe bioCorneum®+ experience include:
• Ensuring the incision is fully closed before starting treatment
• Providing detailed instructions on thin, even application
• Scheduling follow-up visits to monitor skin response
• Offering alternative products if sensitivity occurs
By following usage guidelines closely and communicating any concerns, most patients enjoy effective scar improvement with minimal side effects.
The cost of your procedure will vary based on a variety of factors.

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.
N. Snoozzz
Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !
About the procedure
How soon after surgery can I start using bioCorneum®+?
You can begin once your incision is fully closed and free of scabs, typically after your surgeon removes sutures or tape. Your provider will confirm the exact timing at your post-op visit.
How does bioCorneum®+ differ from regular silicone sheets?
bioCorneum®+ offers the same silicone benefits in a gel form that self-dries into an invisible sheet and includes SPF 30, making it convenient for areas where sheets may not adhere well.
Is bioCorneum®+ FDA-cleared?
Yes. It is the first and only quick-drying silicone gel with SPF 30 cleared by the FDA for scar management.
When will I start seeing improvement in my scar?
Many patients notice early changes in redness and texture within a few weeks, with more significant flattening and fading over several months of consistent use.
Recovery & Results
Do I need to stop using bioCorneum®+ at any point?
We generally recommend twice-daily use for at least 60–90 days on new scars, or as advised by your provider. You can taper usage once satisfactory improvement is achieved.
Can I wear makeup over the gel?
Yes. After the gel dries (about three minutes), you may apply makeup or additional sunscreen without affecting its efficacy.
What if I experience skin irritation?
Mild redness usually resolves quickly. Stop usage and contact us if irritation persists; we may recommend a patch test or alternative scar therapy.
Is bioCorneum®+ safe for children?
The product is generally safe for patients of all ages once the skin is closed. Always consult a qualified provider before use on children.
Safety & Risks
Is bioCorneum®+ covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans consider silicone scar therapy cosmetic, so coverage is unlikely. We provide transparent pricing and financing options to make treatment affordable.
How many tubes will I need?
The number of tubes depends on your scar’s size and treatment duration. During your consultation we’ll estimate how much product you’ll need for the full course.
Can I exercise and shower while using bioCorneum®+?
Yes. The gel is water-resistant once set, so light exercise and showering won’t compromise its effectiveness. Reapply to clean, dry skin afterward if needed.
Will I need other treatments in addition to bioCorneum®+?
Some scars benefit from laser therapy, microneedling, or steroid injections. We’ll discuss combination options if your scar requires additional care.
