Hey question. I have a square around my tattoo now on my skin. Is that normal? Like I removed the derm shield a couple weeks ago but you can still see where I had the derm shield on
Yes this is normal - sometimes a bit of the adhesive from the edges of the derm shield can be left on the skin (sort of like if you take off a regular bandaid and have a bit of the sticky part left around the edges of where it was). It's not harmful to your skin or the tattoo at all! You can put a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, place it over the adhesive left on your skin for a few seconds, and then rub it off.
I'm confused because the ns right above your video said do not stretch the derm and to press from middle out so there aren't bubbles but your video says stretch and push down. So....
Sorry about that - we understand how that can be a bit confusing. When Casey said "stretch" she meant it in terms of making sure you are holding the bandage "taut" on both sides. She mentions that she is not pulling both sides of the bandage (so as to not actually stretch it), but rather holding it taut so there are no wrinkles or bubbles when she sticks the edges to the skin. She is also applying the middle first, and then pressing down from the middle to the edges. Hope this helps!
Good callout! Casey didn't mean to "stretch" the product (to the extent she stretched it when removing it), she more-so meant to pull it completely "taut" so as to make sure the application is tight against the skin, eliminating air bubbles.
This is a great question! The Recovery Derm Shield is definitely flexible enough to cover a "difficult" area like a shoulder or kneecap without pulling at the skin - we'll be sure to ask some artists for their best tips on applying it to more difficult areas of the body and make a follow-up video! Make sure to follow our instagram and TikTok @painfulpleasures to see it ASAP!
@@painfulpleasures Thanks!! I had a helluva time wrapping my shoulder this weekend, involving lots of wasted product and the oh-so-miserable experience of peeling it off a brand new tattoo 😮💨
So glad you are pulling/removing it PROPERLY 👏🏽
Casey's tips were great on the best way to painlessly remove Recovery Derm Shield! No skin-pulling necessary!
Best Derm I’ve used hands down 🤘
💪💪💪
Glad to know those tips I use this stuff daily and love it
Great to hear this was helpful!

@@painfulpleasures I'll give it a try. I just thought it was unusual that it was still there after all this time
@@metallimatt10 It's comparable to the adhesive on a regular bandage so there's no harm being done if a bit gets left behind from the edges!
This always happens to me! 😭😭 visible still weeks later
@oheyitskayyyyyy once you're a little more healed, use alcohol on a cotton swab and it comes right off I found

Directions say not to stretch the product during application. Just FYI.

@@painfulpleasures Didn't mean it as a callout, just wanted people who use it to get the best results. Cheers.
but hooooow tf do you apply to this to places like shoulders?! 😅
