For your skin
Who can use Stratacel?
Stratacel is inert, contains no steroids, alcohol, parabens or fragrances, and is transparent and odorless making it suitable for everyone including people with sensitive skin.
Stratacel may be used during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Stratacel is easy to apply to large exposed areas and contoured skin, such as the face, neck and chest. It can be used with or without a secondary protective dressing.
How Stratacel works
A protective film. A moist healing environment.
Stratum corneumEpidermisDermisHypodermisMuscle
Schematic illustration; not to scale. Green identifies the Stratacel® film, which is transparent when dry.
A protective layer
Stratacel dries to form a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects compromised skin areas and superficial wounds from chemical and microbial invasion.
Bacteriostatic and inert
Stratacel is bacteriostatic and inert, it does not adhere strongly to the wound bed or the newly formed granulating tissue. It hydrates the skin and creates a protective environment against chemical and microbial invasion.
A moist healing environment
Stratacel helps to promote a moist wound healing environment for compromised skin areas and superficial wounds. Moist wound environments promote faster re-epithelialization, relieve itching, burning, and discomfort, and reduce redness and swelling associated with insulted skin.
Alongside other skin treatments
Stratacel may also be used in conjunction with other adjunctive treatments to improve overall results.

Using Stratacel
A very thin layer is all you need.
Follow your physician’s advice and read the patient information leaflet before use.
Before first use
Open your tube
10 g and 20 g tubes
Remove the cap and cut the nozzle tip on first use. Close with the cap after use.
50 g tubes
Remove the cap and then the protective seal. Close with the cap after use.
01Clean
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.
02Apply a very thin layer
Apply a very thin layer of Stratacel directly to the affected area and allow the gel to dry. When applied correctly, Stratacel should dry in 5–6 minutes. To reduce the risk of skin reactions, Stratacel should be applied as the first contact layer.
03Allow 5–6 minutes to dry
If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a clean tissue or gauze and allow the drying process to continue. If a secondary dressing is used, drying is not necessary.
04Continue your care
Once dry, Stratacel may be covered with a physical sunscreen, cosmetics or clothing. Should your skin feel dry or tight you may re-apply Stratacel as necessary.
Daily application
Keep the skin protected
For best results, Stratacel should remain in continuous contact with the skin: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Treatment duration
Continue until recovered
For resurfacing and ablative procedures, continue for a minimum treatment of 30 days or until no further improvement is seen.

Helpful tips for your routine
- Use Colsigen Refresh at room temperature or warm the unopened sachet in hands before application to enhance comfort.
- Apply Colsigen Mist to the skin during the healing phase to soothe skin that feels itchy, dry, or tight.
- Use the Colsigen Mist before applying Colsigen Refresh mask to pre‑hydrate the skin and enhance overall hydration comfort after treatment.
- Apply Colsigen Mist as lightweight hydration layers before and after LED-based light therapy sessions.
- Stratacel may be stored in the refrigerator prior to application for faster relief of the burning sensation that may occur after procedure.
- Stratacel does not need to be rubbed in or massaged, as it does not penetrate through the skin and will not enhance its effect.
