Ensure that the scar is clean and dry. Apply a very thin layer of Strataderm to the scar and allow to dry. When applied correctly, Strataderm should be dry in 3–4 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a tissue and allow the drying process to continue. Once dry, Strataderm can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts. Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician.

Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen. How much Strataderm do I need?
