HOW TO APPLY DERM SHIELD
PREPARATION
1. With antibacterial soap, wash your hands before applying Derm Shield.
2. Dry your hands with clean piece of paper towel.
APPLICATION
If necessary, cut the Derm shield to cover the tattoo allowing at least a 2 inch margin around the whole tattoo.
With the adhesive facing the skin, place Derm Shield on the tattoo. Then apply light pressure starting from the center moving outward. Air bubbles may occur, as long as they are not on the edge of the Derm Shield, they won’t cause any issues.
PLEASE NOTE
The 1st application of the Derm Shield is to worn for no more than 24 hours. The 2nd application is to be worn for no more than 5 days. The only reason why you should remove the final 5th day is if the bandage peels up and the protective seal breaks.
Using 2 hands, peel off the white backing to expose the adhesive side of the Derm Shield. Like Saran Wrap if the adhesive sticks to it’s self it is difficult to unstick and save the bandage!
Finally, peel off the top layer of film with the plus signs to reveal the clear, matte bandage. The bandage is not UV protecticed so please avoid sun exposure until the tattoo is fully healed in 3 weeks.
REMOVAL
It’s suggested to remove in the shower or over a skin in case you have any liquid that will be released. Gently peel back the Derm Shield from the edges using 1 hand and holding on your skin with the other.
