Usage/Instructions
Cica-Care Gel Sheet 15cm X 12cm - Take a look at the following 8 simple steps to effective treatment, and see just how easy it is to gently soften, flatten and fade red, dark or raised scars with Cica-Care.
- Step 1 - Wash your hands before use and then gently clean the scar and surrounding skin. Thoroughly dry the area before applying Cica-Care.
- Step 2 - Peel the lid from the tray containing Cica-Care and remove the gel sheet.
- Step 3 - With a pair of scissors, cut the sheet to the size of the scar - allowing a little overlap all the way round. Store the remaining gel sheet in a dry place, like the tray the gel came in.
- Step 4 - Remove the printed plastic sheet to reveal the adhesive.
- Step 5 -Apply Cica-Care, adhesive side down, to the scarred area without stretching the strip. If your scar is in an awkward position you may wish to use a light bandage or tape to keep Cica-Care in position. Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly to the skin as this may cause irritation of the scar and surrounding area.
- Step 6 - Cica-Care should be applied to the scar for 4 hours on the first two days of use. The application time should then be increased by 2 hours a day to enable your skin to get used to the gel strip. See treatment time and the Cica-Care user diary for more details.
- Step 7 - Clean Cica-Care twice daily with a mild soap. Once you've cleaned the gel strip, rinse it well.
- Step 8 - Dry the Cica-Care strip with a non-fluffy towel before re-applying. Ensure the scar and surrounding area is washed too.
Treatment Time
- Treatment times vary from person to person and depends on the nature of the scarring. However, on average and if used correctly you can expect best results after 2-4 months.
- At first, Cica-Care* should be applied to the scar for 2 hours a day, building up by 2 hours a day to allow your skin to get used to the gel strip.
- Cica-Care can be washed and re-used. Each strip lasts between 14 and 28 days, making it a very cost-effective scar treatment.
