Product introduction

Hexilak Gel is a combination medicine used in the treatment of burns. It helps to reduce inflammation, redness, pain, burning sensation, and also promotes wound healing. It works by stopping the growth of microorganisms and killing the existing ones that cause the infection.

Hexilak Gel is for external use only. It should be applied as per dose and duration suggested by the doctor. Applying it at the same time every day will help you remember to use it. The affected area should be clean and dry before application of the medicine. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.

It is generally safe to use medicine with no common side effects. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.


Uses of Hexilak Gel

Benefits of Hexilak Gel

In Burns

Hexilak Gel helps in the prevention and treatment of infections during treatment of burns. It is also used as an antiseptic in minor cuts and abrasions. It kills the infectious microorganisms, reduces inflammation symptoms such as burning sensation, irritation and pain. This promotes healing of the burns/wounds. Continue using it as directed by the doctor to get maximum benefit.

In Stretch Marks

Stretch marks happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Most commonly they are seen in areas like belly, buttocks, breasts, hips or thighs. They can be a concern for aesthetic reasons and using Hexilak Gel can help in quick recovery. Using this cream can improve the appearance of stretch marks. It also keeps the skin healthy and moisturized, which can stop further development of stretch marks and also promotes healing of the existing ones. The improvement usually takes a few weeks to be noticeably visible, so keep using it as advised by the doctor.

Side effects of Hexilak Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Hexilak Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Hexilak Gel works

Hexilak Gel is a combination of three medicines. Allium Cepa is an herb extract that shows antibacterial action on the burnt wounds. It kills the microorganisms to prevent the wound from getting infected. Allantoin is a skin protectant. It promotes the production of collagen (protein) fibers for faster wound healing. It also provides moisture to the skin and helps to resolve scar marks. Heparin is an anticoagulant. However, it shows anti-inflammatory action when used in this combination. It helps to reduce symptoms of inflammation such as redness, pain, redness, burning sensation, etc. that occurs in the wounds. It also accelerates the healing process of the wounds resulting in smooth healed skin without scars or contractures (hard or tight scars).

FAQs

What is Hexilak Gel commonly used for?

Hexilak Gel is used to treat burns and healed burn scars. It may also be used on scars from cuts, surgery, acne, and stretch marks to help soften, flatten, and improve their appearance over time.

Can I use Hexilak Gel on a fresh surgical scar?

Yes, Hexilak Gel is often started after the wound has closed and stitches are removed, when the skin surface is intact. Do not apply to open wounds or actively bleeding areas.

Will Hexilak Gel help with old, raised, or itchy scars?

Many people use Hexilak Gel on old and raised (hypertrophic) or keloid‑prone scars to reduce thickness, redness, and itch. Results are gradual and need consistent use.

How long will Hexilak Gel take to show visible changes in my scar?

The exact time Hexilak Gel takes to improve skin is not known. However, some softening and itch relief may appear within a few weeks, but meaningful cosmetic changes usually take 8 to 12 weeks or longer with regular topical use.

Can I apply Hexilak Gel on sensitive areas like the face, neck, or joints?

Yes, but use a thin layer of Hexilak Gel and monitor for irritation. Skin on the face and skin that stretches over joints can be more sensitive.

Will Hexilak Gel help scars from burns or acne marks?

Hexilak Gel is commonly used on healed burn scars and post‑acne marks to improve texture and color. Deep pitted acne scars may also need procedures like microneedling. Ask your dermatologist.

What if my scar becomes redder or more raised while using Hexilak Gel?

If your scar becomes redder or more raised while using Hexilak Gel, pause Hexilak Gel use and check with your doctor. Your doctor may adjust your treatment plan.
