What Wasserman Medic does

Wasserman Medic AB is a privately held Swedish medical device company headquartered in Höllviken, Sweden, specializing in scar treatment products. Founded in 2009 and operating with 1-10 employees, the company develops and sells medical-grade silicone-based scar therapy under the Improscar brand, with the Improscar Stick 50 (a water-resistant silicone stick with integrated SPF 50) and the Improscar Patch (a thin self-adhesive silicone patch with an average 7-day wear time) as its two flagship lines. The company also markets a tinted "Conceal" variant launched in March 2025 and distributes Leonisa compression garments and shapewear as ancillary post-surgical recovery products.

The company's underlying technology rests on proprietary medical-grade silicone formulations developed in close collaboration with plastic surgeons and dermatologists. The Stick 50 is described as the world's first water-resistant silicone scar stick with SPF 50, creating a transparent waterproof film that supports scar maturation while protecting against UV, friction, and moisture. Patches are available in procedure-specific configurations (caesarean, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, circular, rectangular) to align with surgical scar geometries. Products carry CE marking in Europe and FDA registration in the United States, giving the company access to the two largest medical device markets.

Wasserman Medic operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through its own website, with international shipping via PostNord and FedEx, payments processed through PayPal and Klarna, and a 14-day return policy. Distribution in Scandinavia is handled through the wholly-owned subsidiary Wasserman Medic Scandinavia, covering Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The company supplements digital commerce with active participation in international medical aesthetics and dermatology conferences (IMCAS, EADV, ESAPS, MEDICA, AMS, MEIDAM, SCAPLAS) to cultivate plastic surgeon and dermatologist endorsements. Pricing is one-time-purchase per unit, ranging from approximately $45 to $131, with no subscription or recurring contract layer.

The product portfolio centers on two main product lines: Improscar Stick (silicone-based scar treatment sticks available with or without SPF 50) and Improscar Patch (super-thin silicone-based adhesive patches in various shapes and sizes). The sticks are designed for visible areas requiring UV protection, while patches provide extended 7-day wear for covered body areas.

Direct peers

• ScarAway (Pierson Laboratories): ScarAway markets silicone scar sheets and gel products directly to consumers for post-surgical, injury, and acne scars. It is a direct peer because the product format (silicone sheets/patches) and end-user positioning closely mirror Wasserman Medic's Improscar Patch line.
• NewGel+: NewGel+ offers silicone gel sheets and scar treatment strips for post-surgical scar management. It is a direct peer with overlapping silicone patch products sold via e-commerce and clinical channels for the same hypertrophic and keloid scar indications.
• Biodermis: Biodermis is a direct competitor specializing in medical-grade silicone scar treatment products, including Epi-Derm silicone gel sheets and Pro-Sil silicone sticks. Highly comparable as it targets the same post-surgical and aesthetic scar patients with similar silicone-based stick and patch formats.
• Mederma (Merz Aesthetics): Mederma, owned by Merz Aesthetics, is a leading consumer scar treatment brand offering topical gels and creams. Direct peer because it competes for the same consumer scar treatment purchase occasion, though Mederma uses cepalin/allantoin formulations rather than medical-grade silicone.
• Stratpharma: Stratpharma makes Strataderm, a topical silicone gel for scar treatment, and competes in the same medical-grade silicone scar care category. Comparable because it sells silicone-based scar therapies through dermatology and plastic surgery channels globally, with a similar clinical positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Mölnlycke Health Care: Mölnlycke is a major wound care and surgical solutions company whose Mepiform product is a well-established silicone scar treatment sheet. Broad incumbent serving the same clinical scar management indication but as part of a much wider wound care portfolio.
• Smith+Nephew: Smith+Nephew is a global medical device incumbent with an Advanced Wound Management portfolio that includes silicone-based dressings and scar care products. Broader incumbent with overlapping scar/wound care capabilities but operating across many other device categories.
• ConvaTec: ConvaTec is a global medical products company with advanced wound care offerings including silicone-based dressings. Broad incumbent comparable in clinical wound and post-surgical care channels, though scar management is one of many focus areas.
• Coloplast: Coloplast is a Danish-headquartered medical device company with a wound and skin care division that includes silicone-based scar and wound products. Comparable as a broader European incumbent overlapping in silicone wound/scar care, though Coloplast's portfolio extends well beyond scar treatment.

Emerging players

• Sientra: Sientra is a US-based aesthetics company focused on breast surgery products, with adjacent scar care offerings for plastic surgeons. Emerging player in the broader aesthetics/breast surgery ecosystem that intersects with Wasserman Medic's core breast augmentation scar treatment use case.
