Q: How long should I use Scarguard?
A: Physicians typically have their patients use Scarguard for 3 to 6 months.

Q: Can I start using Scarguard right after surgery?
A: Scarguard should not be used on open wounds caused by surgery or an injury. Wait until the skin is closed (usually 1-2 weeks), then apply it twice daily.

Q: How do I remove Scarguard?
A: Scarguard can be removed by touching a piece of scotch tape over the film and gently lifting. It will usually lift off very easily using this method.
If it does not come off easily, do not pull. Simply apply the next layers on top. As the layers thicken, they will begin to lift off easily. Do not apply to hair bearing areas such as scalp & brow.

Q: Once I open the Scarguard bottle how should I store it?
A: Scarguard should be stored properly at 15 to 30 degrees Celsius (58-86 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure the bottle is tightly closed or the product will evaporate (use the cap with the brush on it for storing the product).

If the area is extremely oily, clean it with an alcohol pad before applying Scarguard.
