Dermatix gel is very simple to apply and should be used twice a day: Step 1: Dermatix gel is simple to apply and should be used twice daily Optimal contact with the skin is important for efficacy [1] Step 2: Clean the area to be treated with mild soap and water, pat dry Most skin irritation due to occlusive patches occurs from maceration* or poor hygiene *Maceration: when the skin becomes pale, moist, wrinkled and soggy, such as when a plaster has been on for too long Step 3: Gently spread a very thin coat over the affected area To ensure that Dermatix self-dries in 4–5 minutes Step 4: Allow to dry for 4–5 minutes before covering with make-up Allows for discreet scar remodelling Step 5: Dermatix dries partially as a result of the temperature difference between the skin and the gel. If Dermatix has not dried within 4–5 minutes, you have applied too much – remove the excess and allow the drying process to continue. Faster drying time in warmer weather can be achieved by keeping Dermatix in the fridge before application. In cooler weather faster drying time can be achieved by a medium-to low temperature setting on a blow-dryer. The recommended minimum duration of use is 2 months. Continue to use Dermatix until no further benefits are shown.
