What Silagen does

Silagen is a physician-exclusive skincare brand operated by Newmedical Technology, Inc., a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Northbrook. The company manufactures and sells a focused portfolio of post-procedure scar management and recovery products, including medical-grade silicone gels (including a +SPF 30 variant), silicone gel sheeting in multiple shapes, the Arnica-Bromelain oral complex, and an Arnica-Vitamin K topical recovery gel. All products are produced in-house at the company's FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified manufacturing facility in Illinois, with no contract manufacturing or foreign imports.

The company's go-to-market is a B2B field sales model in which Silagen sells exclusively to licensed medical professionals — primarily plastic surgeons, dermatologists, oculofacial surgeons, and wound care specialists. Products are integrated into physician post-operative recovery kits and protocols, generating wholesale revenue per practice rather than direct-to-consumer sales. Named customers include Tucson Plastic Surgery, Gotham Plastic Surgery, and practices associated with Drs. William P. Adams Jr., Jay Calvert, Philip Miller, and Kristopher Hamwi, among others.

The product line has expanded in 2025 with the launch of the Silagen Acne Scar + Spot Corrector, extending the brand beyond post-surgical scar care into acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, supported by a clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. Marketing channels include medical conferences (ASPS, ASDS, ASOPRS), social media, physician testimonials, podcasts, and earned media in aesthetic publications. Silagen has not raised institutional funding and appears to operate as an independent, bootstrapped manufacturer.

Silagen competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Direct peers

Mederma: Market-leading scar treatment brand owned by HRA Pharma, offering both silicone-based and onion extract gel formulations. Direct competitor in scar treatment, though more OTC-focused versus Silagen's physician-exclusive model.
Dermatix: Silicone-based scar treatment gel (Dermatix Ultra) sold through physicians and pharmacies globally. Comparable formulation approach and scar treatment positioning to Silagen's core gel line.
NewGel+: Silicone gel sheeting and scar treatment products targeting post-surgical and trauma scars. Direct competitor in physician-dispensed silicone scar therapy with overlapping product formats.
ScarAway: Direct competitor offering silicone scar therapy sheets and gels. Competes in the same silicone-based scar management category with both OTC and physician channels, making it the closest like-for-like competitor to Silagen.
BioCorneum: Physician-dispensed silicone scar gel with SPF, directly overlapping Silagen's Scar Gel + SPF 30 product. Operates in the same physician-exclusive scar treatment niche with similar go-to-market model.
Kelo-Cote: Silicone-based scar treatment gel and sheeting brand sold through both pharmacy and physician channels. Direct product category competitor with established international presence.
Stratpharma: Medical-grade silicone-based scar and wound care products (Strataderm, Stratacel) sold through physicians and hospitals. Closely comparable technology platform and physician-channel distribution model.

Broad incumbents

Alastin Skincare: Galderma-owned physician-dispensed skincare brand specializing in pre- and post-procedure care. Closely aligned with Silagen's positioning around procedure-related recovery, though with a much larger sales organization and parent company resources.
SkinCeuticals: L'Oréal-owned professional skincare brand sold through physicians and medical spas with a broad anti-aging, post-procedure, and corrective portfolio. Competes in the physician-dispensed skincare category with much greater scale and brand awareness.
SkinMedica: AbbVie-owned professional skincare brand with comprehensive post-procedure and corrective product lines sold through physicians. Larger incumbent with substantially broader portfolio and sales infrastructure in the same physician channel.
