Once the tape shows signs of lifting it should be very gently removed, if possible soaking in a bath, so as not to cause any inflammation. One should bath or shower with the tape in place. The tape must be left on the scar until it comes off naturally (approximately 4 to 5 days ideally). The Serum impregnates the tape and is gradually released onto the scar. The Scar Repair Forté is then applied sparingly to the surface of the tape, down the centre on top of the tape, avoiding the edges and ends so as not to cause stickiness and lack of tape adhesion. The tape should be applied firmly and should overlap the scar by at least 0.5cm at each end. The tape should be applied to a clean scar and there must be no greasiness on the surrounding skin. So, in these cases the Serum would be applied alone at least 4 times daily and massaged with light pressure to all the scars.
Obviously this would prove to be difficult and a tell-tale sign in the case of a face lift, also one would never tape the eye lids. The width of the tape must be sufficient so as to cover and support the scar completely – Micropore 24mm width tape is usually used for most scars. The abdominal area undergoes a lot of movement, stretching forces, friction from clothing, so it is advised to tape this type of wound. For lipectomy (tummy tuck) for example it is more important to tape the scar and apply Scar Repair Forté over 4 times daily. one should tape down the scar, where possible, using Micropore paper tape following suture removal. (If one experiences any reaction to the tape then use the Serum alone) It is advised that to achieve ultimate benefit from the scar care programme, particularly if one has a history of scarring badly, or the scar is over a bony area, the chest, joints, breasts or from ‘tummy tuck’ surgery etc. Taping Instructions: Alternatively one may apply Scar Repair Forté OVER THE TOP of microporous paper tape. Continue daily application until the scar becomes flattened and paler. When applying Scar Repair Forté alone it is recommended that immediately following suture removal one begins massaging with gentle pressure to the scar and surrounding area 2 to 4 times daily, more often for children. The tape applies sufficient pressure required to support the wound and the Scar Repair Forté is applied over the top of the tape, the Serum impregnates the tape and is gradually released onto the scar. NEW SCARS: Plastic surgeons have for many years found that taping new scars using microporous paper tape applied immediately following suture removal has resulted in a reduction in scar width and thickness. One must avoid irritation and inflammation which may lead to pigmentation or can trigger ugly scar development.ĭirections for use: May be applied alone or over the top of Micropore tape It is a fact that 30% of people develop dermatitis from some highly fragranced tissue oils or creams, particularly if applied to a new scar. Some are fortunate and heal well without intervention but most people need help to more rapidly mature scars and the sooner they start treating the scar properly the better end result one is going to achieve. We want to achieve a flattened pale scar that is not raised, itchy or painful. However, the way a scar is treated dictates the way it is going to look for life. Life is not like in the movies and whether a scar is the result of an operation or trauma, if sutures were required, there is always going to be a visible scar.
Most people will have to deal with a scar at some time in their lives. Additional actives help treat red/purple stretch marks specifically as well as their prevention. It further acts on older hypertrophic and keloid scars (ugly, raised scars), promoting their maturation, helping flatten, reduce redness, itchiness, pain and improve function. Powerful cutting edge ingredients provide a cascade of interactions and reactions resulting in an arsenal of defence, increasing resistance to bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitical infections, “natural killers”, protecting and repairing during the critical initial healing phase.Īctives, at their maximum strength, accelerate the healing process, ensuring more rapid scar maturation, with balanced collagen synthesis, preventing ugly scar formation, achieving the very best, most aesthetically pleasing end result.
