水儲留作用
水儲留作用對於新癒合傷口，可以能阻擋疤痕表面水蒸氣蒸發，起到一種類似皮膚角質層的作用，由於減少了水分通透性，從而減少了疤痕對毛細血管的需要，這樣抑制了毛細胞管的增生，減少了膠原的沉積，從而達到控制疤增生的目的。
水合作用
對於舊疤痕，使用後皮膚角質層含水量增加，發生水化作用，使疤痕內水溶性蛋白及許多低分子量的水溶性炎性混合物通透性增加，向疤痕表面擴散，這樣間質內水溶性產物減少；流體壓力下降，疤痕變軟成熟。
實驗顯示，局部使用矽膠有利於增生性瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩的消除。根據疤痕組織狀況的不同，陳舊疤痕的治療周期為3個月至一年，甚至更長時間。最好一天24小時貼上美皮護。建議每天揭除美皮護一次，例如：洗澡時取下，以便檢查和沖洗皮膚。 預防性使用時，應根據疤痕的狀況使用 美皮護2-6個月。
