SilcSkin pads are designed to be worn at night to prevent and correct wrinkles.
How do the SilcSkin pads work?
The pads are designed to be worn at night to prevent and correct wrinkles. Wrinkles are treated like scars. The pads hydrate the skin, improve the collagen and flatten wrinkles. With prolonged use, the pads provide electrostatic energy, which starts a wound healing response and begins collagen production in the area. This causes the softening of lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful and supple appearance.
What are the SilcSkin pads made of?
They are 100% medical grade silicone, the same type that is used in treating scars and burns. There are no allergy-causing additives or adhesives used in the manufacturing process. They are not transdermal and therefore do not penetrate your skin.
How do I apply them?
The pads are to be worn on clean, dry skin with absolutely no product or lotions underneath. Using lotions can interfere with the adhesive quality of the pads and can also cause rashes and reactions. Night sweats, hot flashes and perspiration can interfere with the adhesive quality of the pads as well. If you are experiencing this, wipe the skin with witch hazel and allow to dry prior to applying the pad.
How long before I will see results?
Our pads are designed to be worn while you sleep. The best results are from a prolonged period of use — about 7-8 hours. The results can also depend on the type of pad being used, since some areas of the body are more susceptible to wrinkles than others. For example, when using decollette pads, you should see results overnight and the results last longer, as you do not recreate the wrinkle-causing position right away (usually sleeping on your side). For wrinkles around your mouth, you will see longer-lasting results after about two weeks of wearing the pads.
When should I apply my SilcSkin pads?
Typically the pads are worn at bedtime. It is preferred to have them applied to your skin for 7-8 hours at a time. However, the pads can be used during the daytime as well.
How long do my SilcSkin pads last?
All pads, except for our eye pads, last 30 days or 30 applications, depending on usage. After this period, the pads will lose their adhesive properties and need to be replaced. Eye pads last a minimum of 15 applications.
How and when do I clean my SilcSkin pads?
They should be washed occasionally to remove skin cells and any debris. Wash with non-moisturizing soap and warm water. Then air dry on the plastic tray that’s included with the pads. Place the pads with their sticky side down and return to the package as soon as they are dry.
How should I store my SilcSkin pads after use?
Store them sticky side down on the plastic tray included in the packaging. Place that tray back in the package and store in a place that does not attract lint, dirt, dust, etc. A drawer would be fine.
How long should I keep my SilcSkin pads on for the best results?
7-8 hours of application will give you the best results.
Can I use SilcSkin anti-wrinkle pads during pregnancy?
SilcSkin pads are 100% medical grade silicone. This is the same grade and quality of silicone that is used in treating scars and burns, and also for C-section scars. The molecules of the silicone are too large to enter your system and are not transdermal. SilcSkin pads, however, have not been tested on women through their pregnancy. Individual results may vary. Please consult your doctor to determine whether silicone pads are safe for your use.
