Directions:
- Wait until your injury has fully healed with no broken skin.
- Wash and dry scarred area.
- Do not use powder or lotion on scarred area. (This may permanently affect RETOUCH® adhesiveness.)
- Remove foam cover from back of sheet. Keep foam liner for storing RETOUCH® when not in use.
- Place sticky, uncovered side of the sheet over the scar to cover it.
- If the scar is on a moveable joint or curved area, use medical tape or other bandage to help hold it in place.
- Wear the RETOUCH® sheet against the scar for 2-3 hours, and increase the time to 8 hours a day after one week.
- For best results, wear RETOUCH® every day or night until you achieve desired results.
- Wash RETOUCH® sheets with soap and water and thoroughly air dry before wearing again. Any soap that is safe for your skin should be safe for RETOUCH®. Do not use solvents or alcohol.
- Changes in the scar may be apparent after a few days or a few weeks. The length of treatment time will vary per individual. A person’s skin type and the age and type of scar will all affect how long it takes to see results.
- We suggest before-and-after pictures so you can track changes.
- RETOUCH® should not be used by anyone known to be allergic to silicone. If a rash develops, discontinue use and consult a physician. If you are using medical tape to hold RETOUCH® in place, this may also cause a skin reaction.
- Do not place over nose or mouth.
- Do not use on children under 12 without the advice or supervision of a doctor.
- Do not use on open wounds.
- Do not clean with alcohol or other solvents.
- The thin backing film may dislodge with extended use. RETOUCH® is still effective but should be covered with tape if wearing under clothing.
- To avoid possible discoloration or damage to fabrics or furniture, do not place RETOUCH® directly against clothing or on wood surfaces.
