General Directions for Use:
• Remove Silagen® from the package. If needed, cut and trim Silagen® so that it
extends at least ½ inch (1 centimeter) beyond the area to be treated.
• Wash and dry the area being treated every time you apply Silagen®.
• Peel off the release liner and apply Silagen®, adhesive side down, directly on
the area being treated.
• Make sure the scar site is free of creams, lotions, and ointments (including
Silagen® 100% Pure Silicone gel & Silagen® + SPF 30) as they will cause
Silagen® to lose adhesiveness.
• Although Silagen® is a self-adhesive product, if needed you may secure it by
using medical grade tape or any other preferred method.
• Silagen® should be worn every day for 6 to 24 hours per day. For best results
it can be worn continuously but should be removed once a day for inspection
of the site and to allow the site to be washed and dried.
• If you have highly sensitive skin, begin using Silagen® for 4 hours per day for
the first 4 days to determine any possible reaction. Thereafter, increase usage
time.
• Silagen® should be used for a minimum of 3 months. Additional improvement
may occur with continued use up to 6 months, especially with older scars.
• When Silagen® becomes dirty or loses adhesiveness, wash gently with tap
water and Silagen® CLEAN foaming cleanser then air-dry before reapplying.
Wash at least every 2-3 days.
• Silagen® should be replaced when it deteriorates, disintegrates, or will not
stick. Each sheet should last 3 to 4 weeks before needing to be replaced.
• Keep packaging for storage of the product when not in use.
