1. Wash your hands and scar area. 2. Open the bag containing the silicone patch. 3. The silicone gel is covered on both sides by a plastic film. Remove both sides of the plastic before use. 4. The patch can be cut into smaller pieces with scissors or a scalpel. Once you've decided which size you want to use, apply the sticky side to the scar. The gel layer should completely cover the scar and extend approximately half a cm around the edge of the scar. Tip: Save the protective film to protect the sticky side of the patch when not in use!
