RECOMMENDATIONS:
- For initial treatment, it is recommended to use daily for (10-14) days consecutively until desired effects are achieved.
- Post initial treatment; use once every 2 -3 days to maintain skin elasticity.
- For sensitive skin: 1-2 hours maximum is the suggested time for initial use. Gradually increase the length of time as your skin adapts.
- If you are sensitive to cold, you can warm up the patches by placing the unopened pack between your hands and rub ever so gently.
- For an additional cooling effect, place unopened patches in the fridge to chill the patches before use. This is great for a hot day or to help with pufiness.
