DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

1. The tape should be applied to a clean scar and there must be no greasiness on the surrounding skin.
2. The tape should be applied firmly and should overlap the scar by at least 0.5cm at each end.
3. The Scar Repair Forté is then applied sparingly to the surface of the tape, down the centre on top of the tape, avoiding the edges and ends so as not to cause stickiness and lack of tape adhesion. The cream impregnates the tape and is gradually released onto the scar.
4. The tape must be left on the scar until it comes off naturally (approximately 4 to 5 days ideally).
5. One should bath or shower with the tape in place.
6. Once the tape shows signs of lifting it should be very gently removed, if possible, soaking in a bath, so as not to cause any inflammation.
7. One must not put tape on and remove on a daily basis as this causes too much irritation.
8. One should continue the procedure of taping with the Scar Repair Forté over the top until the scar becomes paler and flat, indicating maturation.

One should tape where possible, or if necessary, particularly if one is known to develop ugly scars, for a couple of months, especially scars in certain potentially problem areas as mentioned, an

particularly if there is a lot of friction or movement, after which one should use the Scar Repair Forté alone a couple of times daily.

The length of time would vary from person to person.

This also depends on the position of the scar and certain areas tend to heal more slowly and can develop stretched or thickened scars. One should also note that smokers heal much more slowly.

OLD SCARS:

• If a scar is flat or stretched and pale (or flattened and darker in an ethnic skin) this indicates a mature scar and there is little that can be done to improve them other than excision and deal with a new scar.
• One should note that excision of a scar usually leaves one with a slightly larger scar. This must always be discussed with your doctor.
• If a scar is pink, purple, raised, itchy and painful this indicates an immature, hypertrophic or keloid scar, and irrespective of how old the scar may be, one can possibly do something about it.
• If the scar is very raised and keloid and, in an area, possible for taping then use the same procedure as for new scars applying over the top of the tape 4 times daily.
• If the scar cannot be taped one should massage the Scar Repair Forté, applying pressure into the scarred area 4 times daily. This should be continued until the scar becomes paler and flatter.

BURNS:

Burns must be assessed and treated initially by a doctor. However, once a burn is no longer at risk of infection one may begin to apply Scar Repair Forté to the scarred area 4 times daily to accelerate healing, help prevent hardening and pigmentation of the skin. One may also apply RégimA Laser Repairing Gel over the top of the Scar Repair Forté.

STRETCH MARKS:

Stretch marks occur for many reasons and some skins are more susceptible than others. Stretch marks are fine scars caused by tearing in the dermis (living layer of skin). The dermis is where our skin produces collagen and elastin fibres that give it a firmer, younger appearance.

• The scars occur when skin is stretched to the point of breakdown, like elastic losing elasticity, at which point these tears start to show through the epidermis.

• If stretch marks are still pink or purple Scar Repair Forté Complex may help repair the damaged scar tissue as well as prevent further stretching. It is an effective repair and preventative treatment.

• Obviously the oilier or younger the skin, the more elastic it is and therefore the skin’s response is quicker because it needs less elastic proteins to repair.

• Therefore, the drier and less elastic the skin, the more long- term Anti-Stretch treatment is required.

Stretch marks cannot be eliminated completely. However, it has been seen in clinical practice that one can make them look a lot better and correct early care lessens the impact and helps prevent further damage.

• Our aim is to deeply nourish the skin to start with, penetrate through to the dermis and help in the healing process, thicken and re-elasticize.

• With continued use the skin will become stronger, more supple and elastic, giving one the ability to stretch more without damage.

• Anti-Stretch penetrates through the epidermis (outer horny layer of skin) down into the dermis regenerating new cells. It is a ‘prevention as well as a treatment’. The healing plants and our special elastin stimulating peptide, work synergistically healing and repairing.

We help to eliminate the incessant itching associated with stretch mark development, thus helping in the prevention process.

• One must allow 2 to 3 months to see improvement, this varying again

on the age and  elasticity factors. Trials   have shown that a series of RégimA Peel Treatments to the reddened stretched areas accelerates the healing, repairing process.

pH of product: 5.27

Whether for repair or prevention: Morning and evening massage into stretch prone areas such as abdomen, breasts, buttocks, thighs. Continue during pregnancy and lactation (when the breasts swell during breast feeding stretching can occur). One should also apply am and pm when dieting.
