Features

The properties of the healing film allow it to give effective results and stand out from the outdated methods of caring for freshly applied tattoos. The features of the modern dressing are as follows:

• Reduced healing period by about a factor of three. Tissue recovery takes less than a week, whereas previously the process took up to two weeks;
• Reliable fixation, with any form of dressing;
• Does not create discomfort, prevents friction of the tattoo on clothing and bedding;
• Protects against the emergence and development of various bacteria;
• Does not allow the penetration of moisture, with the film you can take water procedures and play sports;
• Condensation and pus formations do not form under the dressing, thanks to the permeability feature. The film does not interfere with the breathing of the skin, the liquid flows out freely, and does not penetrate back;
• The dressing has a bactericidal adhesive, so that skin irritations and allergic reactions do not occur under it;
• Transparency allows you to watch the healing process through the film;
• The film is simply and easily removed from the body after the healing of the skin.

To use the film is quite simple, you need:

1. Separate the paper layer from it;
2. Firmly press the side with the adhesive applied to the tattoo over the entire area;
3. Remove the top layer of the film.

It should be noted that the bandage should overlap the area by 1.5 cm more on all sides of the tattoo. If the picture is large, then it is necessary to glue several films with an overlap of more than 2cm. The old film should be removed and a fresh one should be used in the same way as when gluing on a small tattoo.

Food film

Before there were medical remedies for tattoo healing, a simple food film was used for this purpose. In this economical option, the part of the body with the freshly applied image was disinfected, smeared with a regenerating ointment and wrapped with the film. However, the conditions created by this method, contributed to the formation of suds, the development of infection and harmful bacteria.

The use of cling film has the following disadvantages:

• Regular dressing for 2 days with a 3-hour session is necessary;
• The duration of the full course of more than two weeks;
• it causes painful sensations when removed;
• it creates a greenhouse atmosphere, resulting in discomfort due to the lack of air;
• the film often slips due to the poor fixation;
• possible penetration of moisture;
• Risk of infection and infection through the damaged skin area.

In addition, the contours of the pattern are often disturbed, this occurs from exposure to antiseptic, soap and the film itself.

Period of use

Healing of a tattoo under the film occurs in several stages:

• The first day after application, the tattoo under the film does not change, the image retains its original appearance;
• On the second day there are violent processes: in the area with the inflicted image becomes warm, yellow colored bursa is released, it mixes with the excess dye, as a result forming a dark liquid;
• On the 3rd-4th day after drawing, the dark mass evaporates, the film shrinks and looks as if it is cracked;
• On the 5th-6th day the dressing can be removed.

The speed of healing of the damaged area is different for everyone, it depends on the age of the person, his body and external factors. The properties of Suprasorb film help to speed up and facilitate the recovery process. Wearing a dressing for more than six days is necessary only in very rare cases, generally four days is enough.

Removing

It is advisable to remove the film from the tattoo after five days after applying the sketch. This period is enough for the body drawing to go through all stages of healing, and the removal of the bandage did not cause any damage or injury. During this period, new skin tissue is formed, which does not require special care. The main thing is to remove the dressing correctly without harming yourself.

• steaming with hot water for twenty minutes, which will allow you to remove the film without unnecessary problems;
• picking up the edge, gently pull the film, gradually pulling it away from the skin, so it is easier and more accurate to remove the bandage;
