As an effective scar repair product, the correct use of Silicone Scar Stickers is essential to achieve the best results. Here are some suggestions on how to best use silicone gel scar stickers:
1. Preparation
Cleaning the scar area:
Wash the scar area thoroughly with warm water, making sure the area is clean and free of grease and dirt.
Gently dry the scar and the surrounding skin, avoiding excessive friction.
2. Cutting and application
Cut the scar sticker:
Open the package of Silicone Scar Stickers and cut it according to the shape and size of the scar.
Note that the cut scar sticker should extend at least 1cm beyond the edge of the scar to ensure that the scar and the surrounding skin are fully covered.
Applying the scar sticker:
Gently peel off the protective film on the back of the scar sticker, avoiding touching the sticky side.
Apply the sticky side flatly on the clean and dry scar, making sure there are no bubbles or wrinkles.
For joints or areas that are not easy to stick firmly, you can use a thin elastic band or wear elastic clothing to fix it to enhance the application effect.
3. Use time and frequency
Use during the adaptation period:
The first few days of use are the skin adaptation period, and it is recommended to gradually increase the use time. For example, apply it for 4 hours a day on the 1st and 2nd days, 8 hours a day on the 3rd and 4th days, 12 hours a day on the 5th and 6th days, and then gradually increase to no less than 23 hours a day.
Continuous use:
In order to achieve the best results, it is recommended to use Silicone Scar Stickers continuously for several months or even longer.
When replacing a new scar sticker, it is also necessary to ensure that the scar area is clean and grease-free.
4. Precautions
Avoid using on unhealed or fresh wounds:
Silicone Scar Stickers are not suitable for unhealed or fresh wounds to avoid infection.
Avoid irritation:
During use, avoid contact between the scar sticker and the eyes or mucous membranes to avoid irritation.
Regular observation:
During use, the changes in the scar should be observed regularly. If there is any discomfort or abnormal reaction, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
Correct use and continuous care are the key to fading scars and improving skin appearance. At the same time, everyone's skin type and scar condition are different, so when using Silicone Scar Stickers, you should also flexibly adjust the method and frequency of use according to your own situation.
