Application

	Step 1: Wash hands before and after treating scar. Gently clean the scar and surrounding skin with a mild soap and rinse in clean warm water. Cut CICA-CARE to fit scar size, with a small overlap over the surrounding skin.
	Step 2: Peel off printed plastic backing sheet, and apply CICA-CARE adhesive side to the scar, without stretching.
	Step 3: If necessary a light crepe bandage or tape can be used to keep CICA-CARE in place.
	Step 4: Store any remainder CICA-CARE in a dry place (the packaging tray can be used).

Do not use on open wounds or infected wounds. Do not use on skin currently affected by acne. Do not use with ointments or creams under the gel sheet. See enclosed leaflet for precautions and further information.
