After 4th application
So the fourth application of embrace lasted right at 10 days. The middle bottom section started peeling early again but I just applied my silicone tape over it. On day 10 I woke up to a good portion of the left side completely lifted up so I removed it all. My skin gets a little irritated so I go about week in between applications to let it heal. My results look the same after each application, or maybe the scar is a tiny bit more raised and red, but as long as it's not getting worse then embrace is doing its job in my eyes. I have 2 applications left and I'm happy so far. I'm excited to see my scar in a year or so when it fades a bit more.
After 3rd Application
When I took the embrace treatments off after the 2nd time my skin was extremely irritated. I allowed my skin to heal for almost 2 weeks before I did the next application. The 3rd application lasted a good 9 days before the edges began to peel up to the point of having to remove them. The middle bottom of the middle strip started to peel up before anywhere else again, but I applied some silicone tape over it again to keep it from spreading. It has been 5 days since I removed the strips and I'm going to be applying some more tonight. In between applications I leave silicone tape on the scars 24/7. I them remove it and put vitamin E oil on them. Then after hours of letting that sit, I clean the area and apply the strips.
After 2nd Application
So I lasted 9 days with this round. After I applied the middle piece I realized I applied it too low. The incision was at the bottom of the tape, but being they don't give you a single extra piece for trial and error, I had to leave it. Once the embrace adheres good to your skin, it gets all wrinkly. One of the wrinkles at the bottom and middle of the middle piece started to become painful on day 2. I lasted another 2 days but then had to lift the bottom up. It had created a little blister under the tape. I applied a small bandaid then put silicone tape over the embrace to keep more from lifting. The rest of the tape could have lasted longer but I was starting to notice that where the tape is wrinkly starts to irritate my skin after a few days. I took it off and my skin is definitely irritated after this round. The incision itself is slightly red now and doesn't look any thinner but I don't think it's any wider either, which is the goal. I'll post pictures.
