Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean and dry the skin before applying the tape. Remove any hair for better adhesion.
  2. Application: Apply the tape directly to the skin, ensuring it's not too tight to avoid restricting blood flow. Overlap each strip by about half to ensure secure support.
  3. Removal: Gently peel the tape in the direction of hair growth. If it's difficult to remove, use warm water or tape-removal products to loosen the adhesive.
  4. Compatibility: Suitable for use with most skin types, but test a small area if you have sensitive skin.
  5. Care: Store the tape in a cool, dry place. Avoid using it on open wounds or irritated skin.
