Prepare the skin: 

Remove lotions, oil, and perfumes with warm water a simple non-perfumed soap. In some cases where oily skin prevents patches from staying, rubbing alcohol may be used with permission from a health care professional. Thoroughly pat dry skin. The success of the adhesive lies in the preparation of the area.

 

Avoid bathing for 6-10 hours:

For the adhesive bond to occur on a molecular level avoid showering or water for at least 6 to 10 hours after application. If you have a freedom band application of your freedom band during this time to help expedite the adhesion process and allowing the body heat to activate the adhesive is ideal. The longer a patch is worn undisturbed the better the adhesion will be. 

 

Removal: 

To remove your adhesive patch the use of baby oil or adhesive softeners are recommended. If possible use unisol adhesive remover and follow the instructions on the packaging.
