Elastoplast Scar Reducer Patches are transparent self-adhesive patches designed to flatten, lighten, and soften raised and colored scars. Suitable for both new and old scars, these patches are flexible, breathable, and water-resistant for comfortable daily wear. Apply for at least 12 hours a day to see first results in 3-4 weeks.
How to use
Please read enclosed leaflet before use. Apply for min. 12h day or night. Treatment duration is approx 8 weeks and may vary from scar to scar. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive side of the patch and apply the patch on clean and dry skin, making sure that the scar is completely covered. If the scar cannot be completely covered, several patches can be applied next to each other. For smaller scars, patches can be cut to the desired size. The ideal usage time of the patch is 12-24 hours a day. It is recommended to change the patch daily. Use a new patch for each application in order to retain the described product function. You should also change the patch when it gets dirty or when adhesion is insufficient.
Treatment start and duration
Treatment can be started as soon as the wound has completely closed and healed and after sutures have been removed in the case of a surgical intervention. Clinical studies have shown positive results after 8 weeks of consecutive use of at least 12 hours a day. First results are noticeable after 3 to 4 weeks. Using the patch for longer than 8 weeks may further improve the appearance of the scar. Results may vary from person to person and from scar to scar.
