The Science Behind How Patchie Silicone Patches Work

 

At Patchie, we’ve developed our own advanced silicone patch technology a non-invasive way to smooth wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and stretch marks using 100% medical-grade silicone. Trusted by doctors and dermatologists for decades in scar treatment and skin repair, this technology is backed by science and perfected by us for everyday beauty and skin health.

Here’s how Patchie patches deliver visible results:

Step 1: Occlusion (Moisture Seal)

When applied, the medical-grade silicone forms an airtight, semi-occlusive barrier.

• This traps trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) and locks in hydration.
• The result is a deeply hydrated microclimate beneath the patch that kickstarts skin repair.

Step 2: Hydration & Barrier Recovery

By reducing TEWL, Patchie patches increase water content in the stratum corneum (the skin’s outermost layer).

• Hydration improves keratinocyte migration and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Fibroblast activity in the dermis is stimulated, boosting collagen and elastin production.
• The skin becomes smoother, plumper, and more resilient.

Step 3: Collagen Remodelling & Line Reduction

Sustained hydration and occlusion regulate collagen, helping remodel scar tissue and smooth fine lines.

• Wrinkles and stretch marks appear softer and flatter.
• Redness (erythema) is reduced.
• Increased water retention visibly plumps skin for a youthful look.

Step 4: Enhanced Blood Flow & Skin Renewal

Patchie patches improve local circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen to the skin.

• Supports natural repair and renewal processes.
• Encourages healthier, firmer skin structure.
• Trains skin to stay smoother by holding it flat, preventing creasing overnight.

Step 5: Protective Barrier Function

The silicone also acts as a shield, reducing friction, irritation, and environmental stressors.

• Prevents sleep creases by keeping skin smooth during rest.
• Creates a stable environment for long-term healing and renewal.

Step 6: Visible Results Over Time

• Short-term (days): boosted hydration, smoother texture.
• Medium-term (weeks): reduced appearance of lines, scars, and stretch marks.
• Long-term (months): collagen remodelling and healthier, stronger skin.

Why Patchie Is Different

What sets Patchie apart is the superior quality, texture, and adhesiveness of our patches. Designed for comfort and flexibility, they stay in place even overnight or with movement while feeling silky and breathable on the skin. Backed by extensive research and testing, each patch is reusable up to 22 times with proper care, delivering premium results you can both see and feel.
