If there’s one thing that accompanies us throughout our lives, it’s wounds. From the scratches we got when we fell off our bikes as children to the small cut in the kitchen while preparing dinner with friends. Inevitably, at some point, we’ve had to care for a wound and use a bandage or plaster. And if we imagine that same plaster, we probably think of a plastic material, beige in color and with a central pad protecting our wound.
These days, however, there is a great investment in the development of new materials and technologies to create innovative wound dressings. Hansaplast, a brand that stands out for its innovation, is at the forefront of new developments and, in 2025, launched the new Second Skin Protection plasters with hydrocolloid technology!
Hansaplast Second Skin Protection
Regardless of the type of wound, it is essential to ensure good cleaning and protection with a suitable dressing. Proper care can promote faster healing and avoid possible complications. The new Second Skin Protection plasters from Hansaplast become our best friends for cuts, splinters, and scrapes!
Thanks to their hydrocolloid technology, Second Skin Protection plasters, when in contact with the wound, create a whitish and opaque healing capsule–a protective gel that keeps the wound hydrated and accelerates skin regeneration, compared to using a traditional dressing or “airing out” the wound in a dry environment. Additionally, this capsule acts as a cushion and protection pad for wounds, reducing pressure, pain and discomfort in the injured area.
Available in regular and XL sizes, Second Skin Protection plasters are 100% waterproof, yet breathable, and were designed to stay in place for more than 72 hours, without the need for daily changes. To avoid interfering with the healing process, they should only be removed when the wound has healed–or when the plaster begins to peel off naturally.
As the name suggests, these plasters really are like a second skin! Transparent, ultra-thin, and flexible, they are recommended for everyday wounds as they adapt perfectly to the skin, accelerating the healing process discreetly and effectively.
Hansaplast Wound Spray

Before applying one of these plasters, or any other, we must not forget one of the most important steps in the wound care routine–cleaning! Any wound represents an injury to the skin, becoming a gateway for external agents, such as dirt and bacteria. Therefore, it is crucial to clean the wound thoroughly before protecting it.
With Hansaplast Wound Spray, it is possible to clean the wound, remove impurities, and thus help prevent infections. The spray works by mechanical irrigation, with a gentle and transparent formula that does not sting the skin. Thanks to its 360º applicator, the spray can be applied easily and conveniently, from any angle.
Hansaplast Scar Reducer
And when a wound does not heal properly? Inadequate care can give rise to large, raised scars, compromising not only the appearance of the skin, but also its functionality. These scars, whether keloid or hypertrophic, result from irregular healing and can affect quality of life, limit skin flexibility and movement, and reduce self-esteem and confidence. Whatever the type of scar, Hansaplast offers the right care product to help visibly reduce its appearance–the Hansaplast Scar Reducer XL Self-Adhesive Patches!
Available in regular and XL sizes, this bandage uses polyurethane technology to improve the appearance of both new and old scars! In addition to protecting the skin, it’s also moisturizing, creating the ideal environment for skin regeneration. It stimulates microcirculation in the injured area and accelerates cell remodeling, thus reducing the scar’s relief and improving its texture. The result: a more discreet and smooth scar!
Made from transparent, waterproof material, the bandage adapts comfortably to the body and is suitable for all types of scars, such as those resulting from caesarean sections or other surgical procedures. It should be applied to clean, dry skin and worn for at least 12 hours a day, for a minimum period of 8 weeks. The first visible results usually appear between the 3rd and 4th week of use.
From the first steps in wound treatment to the final phase of healing, Hansaplast continues to develop solutions for those who value effectiveness and practicality. Whether it is a wound or a scar, proper care makes all the difference, and Hansaplast knows this!
