About Hexilak Gel

Hexilak Gel belongs to the group of medications called ‘dermatological agents' primarily indicated for the management of scars occurring due to surgery, burns, stretch marks, acne, and breast amputations. The scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the site where the skin has healed. 

Hexilak Gel contains Allantoin, Heparin sodium, and Allium cepa extract. Allantoin is a keratolytic agent that removes dead skin cells. It also has the effect of speeding up wound healing and softening the skin. Heparin sodium is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces inflammation symptoms. Allium cepa extract prevents infection by killing the microorganisms. As a result, Hexilak Gel effectively inhibits scar tissue growth and softens scar tissue.

Use this medication exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Hexilak Gel are pruritus, erythema (redness), telangiectasia (visible dilation of blood vessels), and scar atrophy (scar lower than skin surface). These side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if these side effects last for more than a week, you should seek medical help.

It is not recommended to use Hexilak Gel if you are allergic to any of its contents. Hexilak Gel should not be used on open wounds, unhealed wounds, or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genital areas). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should exercise caution when using Hexilak Gel. Hexilak Gel is not recommended for use in children under one year. Hexilak Gel may not interact with alcohol and may not impair your driving ability.

Uses of Hexilak Gel

Treatment of scars

Directions for Use

Gently rinse the affected area with water before applying Hexilak Gel. Pat the skin and dry it with a clean cotton towel. Apply a generous amount of Hexilak Gel and spread it evenly on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply Hexilak Gel with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. Wash your hands before and after using Hexilak Gel on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands.

Medicinal Benefits

Hexilak Gel is used to treat several forms of scars after the wounds have healed. It is appropriate for individuals who have movement-inhibiting, hypertrophic, keloid (thick scars that are higher than the skin's surface and occasionally a different colour than the surrounding skin), visually disfiguring scars as a result of a surgery, amputation, burn, or accident. It is also useful for contractures such as Dupuytren's contracture (persistently bent fingers), traumatic tendon contractures, as well as atrophic scars (scars that are lower or higher than the skin's surface). Hexilak Gel contains Allantoin, Heparin sodium, and Allium cepa extract. Allantoin is a keratolytic agent that removes dead skin cells. It also has the effect of speeding up wound healing and softening the skin. Heparin sodium is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces inflammation symptoms. Allium cepa extract prevents infection by killing the microorganisms. As a result, Hexilak Gel effectively treats scars.

Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless advised by the doctor. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs

Hexilak Gel contains Allantoin, Heparin Sodium, and Allium Cepa extract. Allantoin works by removing dead skin cells, accelerates wound healing and softens the skin. Heparin sodium is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces inflammation symptoms. Allium cepa extract prevents infection by killing the microorganisms. As a result, Hexilak Gel effectively treats scars.

Scar treatment can take weeks to months. The duration of treatment with Hexilak Gel is based on the extent or size of the scar. Please consult your doctor on the duration of treatment.

Hexilak Gel should not be used on open wounds, unhealed wounds, or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genital areas). While using Hexilak Gel, avoid direct sunlight, light therapy, sun lamps, tanning beds, strong massage, physical irritants, and extremely cold weather.

Before using other skin creams with Hexilak Gel, consult your doctor. If your doctor recommends any skin creams or ointments in addition to Hexilak Gel, you should maintain a gap of at least 30 minutes between Hexilak Gel and other creams.

In case of old hard scars, Hexilak Gel can be applied overnight and covered with a bandage. However, do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless advised by the doctor.

In rare cases, it may cause hyperpigmentation. It might affect up to 1 user in 100 persons. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Special Advise

Avoid contact of Hexilak Gel with your eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs accidentally, rinse it off with water.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Scars: A scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the site where the skin has healed. Scars can develop as a result of burns, wounds, scrapes, acne, amputations, or surgery. Scars are classified into keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and contractures. Keloid scars are circular, thick, and uneven scars that occur outside the margins of a wound. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars but form within the wound's margins. Contractures are scars formed when a bigger skin region is injured and destroyed, such as during surgery.
