Thoroughly dry the area before applying CICA CARE. 2 Peel the lid from the tray containing CICA CARE and remove the gel sheet. 3 With a pair of scissors, cut the sheet to the size of the scar allowing a little overlap all the way round. Store the remaining gel sheet in a dry place, like the tray the gel came in. 4 Remove the printed plastic sheet to reveal the adhesive. 5 Apply CICA CARE, adhesive side down, to the scarred area without stretching the strip. If your scar is in an awkward position you may wish to use a light bandage or tape to keep Cica Care in position. Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly to the skin as this may cause irritation of the scar and surrounding area. 6 CICA CARE should be applied to the scar for 4 hours on the first two days of use. The application time should then be increased by 2 hours a day to enable your skin to get used to the gel strip. 7 Clean CICA CARE twice daily with a mild soap. Once you've cleaned the gel strip, rinse it well. 8 Dry the CICA CARE strip with a non fluffy towel before re applying. Ensure the scar and surrounding area is washed too. Treatment Times Treatment times vary from person to person and depends on the nature of the scarring. However, on average and if used correctly you can expect best results after 2 4 months. At first, CICA CARE should be applied to the scar for 2 hours a day, building up by 2 hours a day to allow your skin to get used to the gel strip. CICA CARE can be washed and re used. Each strip lasts between 14 and 28 days, making it a very cost effective scar treatment. To dry CICA CARE after cleaning, use a non fluffy (lint free) cloth and, before reapplying, clean your scar area too.
