What the gels are

Silagen’s topical Rapid Recovery gels feature plant-based ingredients the company associates with recovery from bruising and swelling. Its video highlights arnica montana, bromelain extract and vitamin K extract.

The family includes more than one topical product — including a variant with caffeine, and kit packs. Formulas, names and sizes differ between them; the professional backbar size is for medical offices, not patients.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the gel on my incision?

Not on an open or unhealed incision. Use it only on intact skin, as the product label directs, and ask your surgeon or care team before applying it near a surgical site.

What is the difference between the variants?

Their formulas differ — one adds caffeine, for example. Compare the labels.

Can I use it with silicone scar gel?

They serve different purposes. Ask your surgeon how to sequence them, and never put anything under silicone sheets.

Is the large size for patients?

The professional backbar size is for medical offices.
