Mederma Intense Scar Patch

The dual mode of action helps to prevent excessive scar formulation by protecting, occluding and hydrating during the scar formulation process, thus helping to make the skin softer, smoother and more elastic. The patch can also be applied to flatten, fade, and smooth existing scars.
Reduces the appearance of old and new scars. 21 patches (12cm x 3 cm) provides 3 weeks of treatment for a large, post-surgical scar.  For smaller scars, the patch may be cut to size.

Direction: Thoroughly wash and dry the scar area. Make sure that the wound is completely closed and the skin is intact. Open the package and remove the Mederma patch. Peel off the transparent backing of the adhesive side of the patch. Avoid touching the adhesive surface before application.
Apply the patch so that the scar is completely covered. For a smaller scar, the patch may be cut to size using clean scissors. Cut before peeling off the transparent backing. For large scars, apply patches side by side. Keep patch in place for a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 12 hours overnight might be the best choice for optimal results; when the skin's natural regeneration process is particularly active. Remove the patch in the morning and discard; patch is not reusable. For best results, apply a new patch daily for a minimum of 3 months.
