Can Scar Patches Be Reused?

Many people ask a question when using scar patches: "Can scar patches be reused?" In fact, it depends on what type of scar patches you use. Let's make this clear today.

1. Not all scar patches can be reused

Scar patches generally fall into two categories:

Silicone scar patches (reusable)

Medicinal cloth scar patches (disposable)

Most silicone scar patches can be reused, while the disposable cloth scar patches have to be thrown away after one use.

2. Why can silicone scar patches be reused?

Silicone scar patches are made of medical-grade silicone gel material with a smooth surface. They are attached to the skin by electrostatic adsorption, not by super glue.

Therefore, after each use, just wash it gently with warm water and dry it, and then you can continue to use it.

3. How to judge whether it can still be used?

The following tips can help you judge:

✔ If it is still sticky after applying, it means you can continue to use it

✔ If it is not damaged or deformed, you can continue to apply it

✘ If it can no longer stick or the edges are cracked, it is time to replace it with a new one

✘ If it itches or turns red when applying, it is also recommended to stop using it or replace it

4, what should I pay attention to when using it repeatedly?

In order to make the scar patch last longer and safer, remember:

Clean the skin surface before use to remove oil and sweat

Wash gently with warm water after use, do not rub, do not use alcohol to clean

Put it in a clean, cool place to dry, do not expose it to the sun
