I started using them shortly after my stitches were removed. I followed box instructions and made sure my wound was free of oozing/bleeding.I think it was about 3-4 days after stitches were taken out. as fyi - for best results - stick to the daily wear, they really do work.

I waited about 3-4 weeks after my surgery, because I was researching which brand to purchase. That's why it took me so long. You also have to take in consideration that it depends on the area you use this product, if you sweat a lot in that area it would not be beneficial to use this product the cut would reopen, because of the moisture. That happened to me I used it under my arm and it was not healing because it's moist there. As long as you keep the cut moist with a good cream it should be fine to use after it healed a it.

According to the package (strips) insert: "For newly healed wounds, you may begin using ScarAway as soon as the skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting in the area. Treatment with ScarAway for post surgical scars may typically begin approximately 1-2 weeks after stitches are removed or when cleared by physician or surgeon for use.

Okay hold the sides of the dermaroller where it detached at. Pull it down and out. Be very careful.

I don't use it. The gel is more for to help with conduction if the pads are not sticking properly to the skin. As long as the pads stick fully and you have full contact, you shouldn't need the gel.

Leave it on for 3-5 minutes. You need to feel a significant tingling for it to be working. Gently tap your face(with all your fingertips) while its tingling to assist in the uncomfortable burning sensation. It sounds like your 1st peel didn't do anything so go ahead with another.

I used a small piece of gauze just folded a couple of times it tend to soak some in so as you apply to pad brush on to skin staying away from eyes ans mouth just a light coat on the face starting out it will sting and burn but that is natural means it is working say 15 minutes and wash off with baking soda that nautilizes the acid may not peel the first day but it will start peeling, I wait a day or so befroe another application

About 30 minutes. We have a few so if needed one is out and then another is in the freezer to replace. First one we got was at the dentist after my daughter had wisdom teeth pulled. The gel is soft so it can bend around a joint. We have had them for years and have even bought a few for others!

I used them after I applied a silicone cream. With or without the cream I had a hard time with them sticking after the first day. Your suppose to use each strip for a week, but I only got a few days out of each one.

Leave it on! You will have a big mess if you try and take it off. If it does rip or tear I have used bandaid clear bandages to repair the tear.

I agree that you should check with your doctor, but it is designed to cover wounds and allow them to heal. In my case, the wound was not appropriate for direct use, but my skin was so sensitive to tape that we used this product as the vehicle to adhere dressing tape to so that my skin only had to deal with the removal of this product every 5-7 days instead of tape 3 times a day. This product was recommended to my nurse by my surgeon.

I strongly recommend the gel. It's sticky but can be placed exactly where it is needed.

It's very easy to cut the gel pad into small pieces. You'll want the pad to cover the scar tissue as well as a slight margin all the way around to secure it.

I can only speak from my experience but I leave mine in most of the time. The only time I am a bit hesitant to leave it in is if the snaps are covering stitches and I won't be working on it for a while but even then I have left it on overnight with no issues. I should also mention that I use Aida cloth and not linen just in case there is a difference in what happens when you leave the Q-snap on.

My dentist told me to leave it in between 15 to 30 minutes, twice a day. Sensitivity will determine how long you leave the gel on your teeth.

Just squeeze the top to compress, and attach the open end to your skin. Leave on for 5-20 minutes. Will leave a red mark if the tissue is damaged. Flat areas like your back work well. Shoulders and neck can be a lot harder to get them to attach. Helps release tight muscles. Good luck!!

I honestly don't know. The bandage would not stay on my scar. My scar is up on the inside of my elbow so I don't know if it is the constant bending that won't allow it to stick? I am going to have to find something different as these are not working on the area I need them to. And, yes I keloid too.

Vitamin C right after after Derma Roller will make your skin dry. A moisturizer should be fine. Use vitamin c after a day or two. I Lso use vitamin e after a few days.
