Flamigel® indications

How Flamigel® works?

Flamigel® helps to repair damaged skin

Flamigel® helps the skin to regenerate and heal efficiently.

By creating a protective, moist environment in the wound bed, it encourages cell renewal and accelerates healing, while reducing the risk of scarring.

This process helps restore the skin’s natural barrier and appearance, effectively addressing "damage" caused by cuts, burns, and other minor wounds.

Flamigel® is a hydro-active colloid gel with arginine, containing 4 key elements:

1. Hydrogel effect

moisturises and debrides the wound

2. Hydrocolloid

absorbs excessive fluid, restores an optimal level of hydration

3. Branched chain fatty acids

forms an acidic semi-permeable layer around the wound that acts as a barrier against external contamination, allowing the evaporation of heat

4. Arginine

functions as a key molecule allowing the switch between the hydrogel effect and the hydrocolloid effect

FAQ

How do I use Flamigel®?
  • Wash your hands before and after treating the wound.
  • Clean and dry the wound gently before applying Flamigel®.
  • For superficial burns and minor wounds (e. g. grazes, cuts): Carefully apply Flamigel® to the wound (without rubbing) once or twice a day (in case of sunburn apply twice to six times daily). If necessary, cover the wound with a plaster or dressing and change it daily.
  • For superficial open wounds: Apply a thick layer of Flamigel® (5 mm) to the wound minimizing contact with the wound edges, cover Flamigel® with a sterile non-adhesive dressing and fix with a gauze or bandage. Leave Flamigel® in place as long as the gel structure is intact. Renew Flamigel® when it has disappeared. When new skin cells start to form and the wound is closing, apply only a thin layer of Flamigel® to prevent weakening. If necessary, protect the wound edges.
  • For open wounds: Change daily. Removing the gel: Wash hands before and after removing Flamige®l. Flamigel® can be removed simply and painlessly with wet gauze.
Should I cover the wound directly after applying Flamigel®?

The choice is yours: you can cover the wound or not. By applying a dressing, you protect the wound, it remains in a moist environment and you have to apply Flamigel® less often. Sometimes, it's not practical to cover the wound. In these cases, you don't need to cover Flamigel®.

Do I need to remove the gel and rinse between applications of Flamigel®?

Wounds must be thoroughly cleansed each time the dressing is changed. This can be done, for example, with Flamirins® .

Do I need a prescription to buy Flamigel®?

No, you don't need a prescription to buy Flamigel®. This product is freely available in pharmacies. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

Is Flamigel® flammable?

No, Flamigel® is not flammable, therefore it can be used in combination with oxygen therapy in case minor wounds develop on the nostrils, nose or lips.
