1. Ensure that the scar is clean and dry.
2. Apply a very thin layer of Strataderm to the scar and allow to dry. When applied correctly, Strataderm should be dry in 3-4 minutes.
3. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a tissue and allow the drying process to continue.
4. Once dry, Strataderm can be covered by a physical sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts.
• Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas, or as required to maintain contact with the affected surface, or as advised by your physician.
• For best results, Strataderm should maintain continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/ 7 days a week).
• Strataderm is recommended as a minimum treatment of 60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen.
• Strataderm does not need to be rubbed in or massaged as it does not penetrate through the skin and will not enhance its effect.
