14. Can I shower with the Elastoplast SCAR REDUCER?

Yes, you can take a short shower or exercise with the patch. Even if some parts or the edges of the patch come loose, they will stick again once the patch has dried.

15. Is the product skin-friendly?

The polyurethane material of the Scar Reducer is known to be very skin friendly and is suitable for sensitive skin. Products made of this material are very common in professional wound care. The Scar Reducer patches are breathable and hydro-active and will not cause maceration beneath the patch.

3. How do SCAR REDUCER patches work?

The transparent polyurethane patch is designed to build a semi-occlusive barrier which improves hydration of the scar tissue. It also increases temperature in the scar tissue. This helps to activate the skin’s own regeneration process and supports the re-modelling of the scar.

4. What is SCAR REDUCER made of?

The Elastoplast Scar Reducer patches are made of polyurethane, a very skin-friendly material which is suitable for sensitive skin. Products made of this material have been used for years in the professional wound care area. The patches contain no active ingredients (pharmaceuticals).

5. When can I start the SCAR REDUCER treatment? And how long will the scar treatment take?

Treatment can be started as soon as the wound has completely closed and healed and after sutures have been removed in the case of a surgical intervention. Clinical studies have shown positive results after 8 weeks of consecutive use of at least 12h a day. First results are noticeable after 3 to 4 weeks. Using the patch for longer than 8 weeks may further improve the appearance of the scar. Results may vary from person to person and from scar to scar.

6. How to use SCAR REDUCER?

Remove the protective paper from the adhesive side of the patch and apply the patch on clean and dry skin, making sure that the scar is completely covered. If the scar cannot be completely covered, several patches can be applied next to each other. For smaller scars, patches can be cut to the desired size. The ideal usage time of the patch is 12h to 24h a day. It is recommended to change the patch daily. You should also change the patch when it gets dirty or when adhesion is insufficient.

7. Is Elastoplast SCAR REDUCER suitable for every size of scar?

For large scars, two or more patches can be applied next to each other. The patches can be cut to size for use on smaller scars.

8. Can a scar be completely removed with Elastoplast SCAR REDUCER?

As with other treatment methods, it is not possible to make the scar “invisible” with Elastoplast Scar Reducer. However, major improvement is possible.

9. Is the use of Elastoplast SCAR REDUCER painful?

The skin-friendly patches were specially developed to be worn successively for several consecutive weeks on the same area. Thanks to the gentle adhesion technology, changing patches is pain-free.

10. What else should be kept in mind when caring for scars?

Recent scars should initially not be exposed to any extreme temperatures. Intense sunlight, high heat and extreme cold can also have an adverse effect on scar formation. In addition, tight-fitting clothes may irritate the scar tissue and should be avoided. Caution is also advised when performing stretches and strengthening exercises as damaged skin is extremely sensitive.
