How and where should I apply the patch?
Using our transdermal patches is simple and hassle free:
Peel – Remove the patch from its protective backing.
Stick – Apply the patch to a clean, dry and hairless area of skin (inner wrist/arm, shoulder, lower/upper back, lower stomach, top of foot).
Feel – Leave the patch on for up to 12-24 hours to allow for gradual absorption.
Remove & Replace – Gently peel off and discard the used patch. Apply your new patch.
Tips for Best Results:
- Rotate patch placement daily to avoid skin sensitivity.
- Apply to hairless area of your skin and do not apply to broken, irritated or an oily/moisturised area of skin.
- Use an alcohol wipe to clean the area before and after applying the patch.
