How to Use The Sculpting Strips: Step-by-Step Instructions

Achieving optimal results with The Sculpting Strips begins with proper application. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth and effective experience.


1. Prepare Your Skin
Start by cleansing the target area to remove oils, lotions, or sweat that could affect adhesion. Use rubbing alcohol or an alcohol-free hand sanitizer for best results. If you have sensitive skin, opt for gentle, fragrance-free soap and water. Ensure the skin is completely dry before proceeding.

Trim Excess Hair
For optimal adhesion, it's advisable to trim any excess hair in the application area. This step helps the strips adhere more securely and comfortably.

2. Create the Anchor
Gently peel back the top paper liner along the marked line to expose the adhesive, forming the anchor. Avoid touching the adhesive side to maintain its stickiness.             Learn more about creating the anchor


3. Apply the Anchor
Position the anchor on the skin, ensuring it's smooth and free of folds or creases. Press firmly to secure it in place.                                                                                                     More tips on anchor placement here.


4. Apply the Strip Legs
Slowly peel away the backing paper from each strip leg as you apply it to the skin. Apply a gentle stretch, typically between 15%-30%, unless otherwise directed for specific applications. Let the strip follow your natural contours without overstretching.

6. Maintain Proper Spacing
Ensure each strip leg is spaced about 1-2 cm apart. This spacing promotes effective lymphatic drainage and prevents the strips from sticking to each other.


7. Avoid Touching the Adhesive
Handle the strips by the edges and backing to prevent oils from your fingers compromising the adhesive strength. This ensures the strips remain securely in place during wear.

8. Smooth Out Folds and Creases
As you apply each strip, ensure there are no folds or creases, as these can lead to skin irritation or reduced effectiveness. Smooth the strips gently to conform to your body's contours.


9. Activate the Adhesive
After applying all the strips, rub your hands together to generate warmth and gently press over each strip. This heat activation enhances the adhesive bond, ensuring the strips stay in place.
Learn more about adhesive activation.


10. Allow Adhesive to Set
Give the strips about 30 minutes to fully adhere before engaging in activities that may cause sweating or involve water exposure. This waiting period ensures maximum adhesion and effectiveness.

11. Monitor for Ripples
The appearance of slight ripples or waves on the skin beneath the strips indicates proper application. These ripples suggest that the strips are lifting the skin correctly to promote lymphatic drainage.
Learn about why ripples matter.


12. Repeat Application as Needed
For best results, wear the strips for 3-5 days, then remove and allow your skin a 1-2 day break before reapplying. Consistency is key to achieving and maintaining desired outcomes.

By following these steps diligently, you'll maximize the benefits of The Sculpting Strips, promoting smoother, firmer skin through enhanced lymphatic drainage and support.
