About CICA-CARE^◊
CICA-CARE^◊ is a self-adhesive gel sheet that is medically proven to be up to 90% effective in the improvement of red, dark or raised scars.

Step 1

Wash hands before and after use.
Gently clean the scar and surrounding skin with a mild soap and rinse in clean warm water. Thoroughly dry the scar and surrounding skin.
Remove gel sheet from tray.

Step 2

Cut gel sheet, to fit scar size, with a small overlap over the surrounding skin.
Remove printed plastic sheet.

Step 3

Apply gel sheet, adhesive side to the scar, without stretching. If necessary a light bandage can be used to keep CICA-CARE^◊ in place.
For first two days use CICA-CARE^◊ for 4 hours per day.
For next two days use CICA-CARE^◊ for 8 hours per day.
Continue to increase wear time by 2 hours per day until a minimum of 12 hours per day is reached. If possible CICA-CARE^◊ should be worn 24 hours per day.

Step 4

Wash CICA-CARE^◊, the scar and surrounding skin, at least once a day with mild soap and rinse in clean warm water.
Dry with a cloth towel.

Step 5

When CICA-CARE^◊ begins to wear or cleaning is difficult, it should be replaced. This usually occurs after 14-28 day intervals. When used correctly the best results are seen after 2-4 months.
