Can Scar Patches Be Applied During Exercise?

Many friends who are using scar patches have this confusion: Can scar patches be used during exercise? Today we will talk about this issue and tell you the answer in the simplest terms!

Can scar patches be applied during exercise?

Of course you can! But pay attention to the following points:

Look at the intensity of exercise

Gentle exercise such as walking, yoga, and Tai Chi: no problem at all

Medium intensity such as running, fitness, and cycling: basically OK

High intensity such as basketball, football, and swimming: pay special attention

Look at the location of the patch

Flat parts such as arms and legs: relatively stable

Joints (such as knees and elbows): easy to loosen

Parts prone to sweating (such as backs and armpits): may affect stickiness

Why do some people think they will fall off?

Sweating too much: sweat will reduce stickiness

Too much friction: such as frequent running and jumping when playing basketball

Applying for too long: It is generally recommended to remove and clean after 8-12 hours

5 tips to make scar stickers more secure

Dry your skin before exercise: Gently press the area to be applied with a tissue

Choose the right size: It is best to be 1-2 cm larger than the scar

Replace in time after sweating:

Choose the right product: Medical-grade silicone material has better stickiness
