Derm Shield Instructions for Use

Directions for Use

Gently clean and pat dry the tattoo and surrounding area, ensuring there is no soap or any residue on the skin. Cut the Derm Shield to cover tattooed area plus a 1"–2" margin from the edge of the tattoo. Peel off backing and position the Derm Shield over tattoo with the adhesive side facing the skin. Gently apply using light pressure, starting from the center to the edges to eliminate air bubbles. Do not stretch the Derm Shield during application. The first Derm Shield application should stay in place for 24 hours, depending on level of exudation. It is normal for blood and fluids to collect under the bandage. A second application can be used for several days, and a third application may be used if necessary. Gently clean and dry the area between applications. Do not wear any piece longer than one week.

Directions for Removal

Gently peel the Derm Shield by pulling it slowly from the edge back over itself. Avoid pulling upwards.
