Directions Ensure that the scar is clean and dry. 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. 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. Once dry, Strataderm can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts. Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas 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). USAGE ADVICE Recommended duration of treatment Strataderm is recommended as a minimum treatment of 60-90 days (24 hours a day/7 days a week). Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen. How much Strataderm do I need? Strataderm is an advanced formulation that requires less product per application than typical creams or gels. • Strataderm 20g is enough to treat a 10-14cm linear scar for over 90 days.
