Maintenance Tips

• Apply only on clean, dry, fully closed skin; avoid use on open or unhealed wounds.
• Wear ideally 24 hours per day for continuous scar management and best results.
• Remove once daily to gently clean and inspect the skin, then reapply the same dressing.
• Replace every 3–7 days, or sooner if adhesion weakens or the dressing becomes dirty or saturated.
• Cut to size if needed, ensuring at least ~1 cm overlap beyond the scar for full coverage.
• Avoid creams or ointments under the dressing, as they reduce adhesion and effectiveness.
• Repositioning is allowed due to Safetac silicone layer without losing adhesive performance.
• Continue use for 2–6 months (or longer for older scars) for optimal scar flattening and appearance
