NewGel+ strips works through a combination of occlusion (seals the scar from exposure to air/bacteria), hydration, elevated skin temperature and continuous light pressure. Positive results can be seen in as little as 3 weeks. Use for 3 months on new scars. Older scars may take up to 6 months.
Contains no latex.
Begin using NewGel+ when wound has healed or sutures have been removed. Do not use on any open wound. Remove NewGel+ from the package. If needed, cut and trim NewGel+ so that it extends at least 1 centimeter beyond the area to be treated. Keep packaging for storage of the product when not in use. For large products that come in tubes, store product flat, backing side down. Wash and dry the area being treated every time you apply NewGel+. Make sure the scar site is free of any creams, lotions, ointments (including NewGel+E ointment). If NewGel+ sheeting comes in contact with creams, lotions, ointment or perfumes, it can lose adhesiveness. Peel off the release liner and apply NewGel+, adhesive side down, directly on the area being treated. Although NewGel+ is a self-adhesive product, if needed it can be secured using medical grade tape, a pressure sleeve or any other preferred method.
Cleaning:
You can extend the life of your adhesive scar treatment products and protect your investment by using our REFRESH foaming cleanser. Many liquid or bar cleansers are difficult to completely rinse off. Those cleansers often use oils or moisturizing ingredients which leave a residue on the product. The REFRESH cleanser was specifically formulated to strip off the build up and rinse clean.
