How To Use Scar Patches Correctly

Scar patches are a popular scar care product that can help reduce scarring and make skin appear smoother. To achieve the best results, it's crucial to use them correctly. Today, I'll explain how to use scar patches in simple terms.

1. Cleanse your skin

Before applying the scar patch, clean the scarred area thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.

2. Choose the Right Size

Cut the scar patch to the appropriate size for your scar. Larger scars can be covered with multiple smaller patches or a larger patch.

3. Apply the scar patch

Gently peel off the protective film and apply it to the scar. Make sure the patch completely covers the scar and fits snugly without bubbles or wrinkles.

4. Maintain the patch's integrity

Scar patches require continuous use. It's generally recommended to apply them for at least 12 hours daily, and ideally, a full 24 hours.

5. Replace them regularly

According to the product instructions, replace the patch every 3-7 days. When replacing a new patch, gently remove the old patch first, clean the scar area, and keep it clean before applying the new patch.

6. Precautions

If any allergic reaction, such as redness, swelling, or itching, occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

Scar patches are suitable for both new and old scars, but it's best to use them after the wound has completely healed.

Persistent use is crucial for effective results; don't give up halfway.
