Application

Getting started

Wear only 1 patch at a time.

Before the patch is applied, make sure your skin is clean and dry. Also make sure you have not used any make up, creams, lotions, oils, powders or any other products on the skin area where you put or plan to put the patch.

  • Each patch is individually sealed in a pouch
  • It is important that you immediately apply the patch after being removed from the pouch

Applying the Patch

Step 3

Hold the patch with the clear protective liner facing you. You will see two sections: a large section and a small section.

Avoid touching the sticky side of the patch with your fingers. Hold the small section of the liner. Remove and throw away (discard) the large section of the liner while still holding the small section of the liner.

Step 6

If the patch is not flat on the skin or there are large wrinkles, gently pull the patch off the skin while holding only the remaining protective liner and then put it on again.

Step 8

After the patch is on your body, press the entire patch firmly into place with your hand for 10 seconds, making sure the edges stick well. Make sure the patch is on your skin all the way.

Step 9

The edges of the patch should be smoothed over with your finger and make sure there is good contact around the patch with your skin and make sure there are no wrinkles.

Step 10

It is important that you check the patch every day to make sure it is in the right place. The patch should be checked after any water exposure (such as bathing, showering, or swimming) to make sure it is in the right place because water may affect how well the patch sticks to your skin.
