This will prevent it from sticking to your clothes.
If in doubt, always consult a doctor, therapist, or medical professional. This way, you can ensure that the symptoms are treated correctly and that the Kinesio Tape can take effect.
However, you can remove the tape yourself. For this, various approaches similar to removing a bandage are recommended:
- Moisten the Kinesio Tape sufficiently and gradually remove it in the direction of hair growth. With the other hand, hold the skin directly behind the tape.
- For sensitive skin, first apply oil to the skin and tape and let it soak in for a few minutes.
- Alternatively, you can rub the tape with Sterillium or another alcoholic disinfectant to loosen the adhesive layer. After that, the Kinesio Tape can be easily peeled off.
Thanks to the skin-friendly medical acrylic adhesive, the Kinesiology Tape remains stable and without any loss of quality for several days. It can be worn until it detaches from the skin. On average, kinesiological tape adheres for 4 to 6 days. Buy Kinesio Tape now!
Applying Kinesiology Tape on the Skin
Since Kinesiology Tape is not sterile, it should not be used for wound care like a bandage. However, it can be applied around the wound. In the case of scars, the skin must already be fully closed. It should also be used for therapy after radiation treatment only after one month.
When buying Kinesio Tape, use it carefully on hairy skin. It is best to remove long hair beforehand with a hair trimmer to achieve successful results. Avoid oily products such as creams or oils before taping. This will enhance the adherence of the kinesiological tape. Buy Kinesio Tape easily now and order online at Medicalcorner24®!
