I. Before Use: Choose the Right Timing + Prepare Properly
Optimal Start Time: Use CmallBioThickened Medical Silicone Scar Patch as early as possible after the wound is fully healed — 2-3 days after surgical suture removal (with no redness, swelling, or exudate) or after scabs from abrasions fall off naturally. At this stage, the scar is in the early proliferative phase, and intervention yields the best results. For old scars (over 1 year), extend the usage period to 3-6 months.
Suitable & Contraindicated Scenarios: Applicable to closed scars from surgeries, burns, scalds, traumas, etc., including hypertrophic scars and pigmented scars. Contraindicated for unhealed wounds (bleeding or exuding fluid), infected lesions (redness, swelling, or pus), and skin in allergic phase.
Cleaning & Drying Steps: Clean the scar area with normal saline or warm water to remove oil and sweat. Pat dry gently with a clean towel (moisture will reduce adhesion and breed bacteria), ensuring the skin is completely dry before application.
II. Core Operation: Proper Adhesion + Adequate Duration
Precise Cutting: Use sterile scissors to cut the patch 1-2 centimeters larger than the scar edge. For the thickened material, ensure smooth cut edges to avoid skin irritation from sharp corners. Cut into an arc shape for joint areas to improve adhesion during movement.
Standard Application: Peel off the backing film (avoid contaminating the adhesive surface), align the center of the adhesive side with the scar, and press gently from the middle to the surroundings to expel air. Ensure no bubbles or wrinkles, and the edges adhere tightly to the skin. For easily displaced areas such as the face and joints, use medical tape for auxiliary fixation.
Duration Control: In the initial stage (1-4 days), wear the patch for 4-8 hours daily to allow the skin to adapt. Gradually extend to 12-24 hours of continuous wear (remove only for cleaning) if no discomfort occurs. For new scars, 24-hour wear is recommended; for old scars, wear for at least 8 hours daily, with better results when worn at night.
III. Maintenance & Replacement: Extend Efficacy + Avoid Risks
Cleaning & Reuse Tips: Remove the CmallBio Thickened Medical Silicone Scar Patch after 2-3 days of wear. Rinse the adhesive surface gently with clean water (do not use detergents) and air-dry naturally in a ventilated place for reuse until adhesion decreases or the surface becomes dirty. The thickened material does not require frequent replacement; generally, replace with a new patch every 7-14 days.
Daily Care Points: The patch can be worn during showers (most are waterproof), but avoid prolonged soaking. Wear loose clothing to reduce friction. When removing, do so gently and slowly to avoid pulling the scarred skin.
Allergy Management: Perform a 24-hour skin test behind the ear before first use. If rashes or itching occur, stop using immediately and clean the skin. After symptoms subside, gradually adapt by shortening the wearing duration.
IV. Effect Enhancement: Key Details + Auxiliary Cooperation
Adhere to the Course of Treatment: The scar repair cycle is 3-6 months. For hypertrophic scars, continue using until the scar stabilizes (color fades and texture softens); do not stop using the CmallBio Thickened Medical Silicone Scar Patch midway.
Synergistic Effect: Can be used with scar gel (apply gel first, let it dry, then attach the patch). The thickened adhesive layer enhances moisturizing and pressure effects, promoting scar softening.
Avoid Missteps: Do not apply too tightly to prevent skin stuffiness; do not cut arbitrarily to a size smaller than needed (must fully cover the scar); do not use expired or damaged products.
