Small Incision Kit

Designed to be used post-surgery, the Nokori Small Incision Kit combines two essential products to support the recovery of your skin and scars and help minimise the risk of abnormal scarring.

The Scar Balm — "the food" — nourishes and replenishes your skin, helping to create a supportive environment for your skin’s natural recovery.

It is formulated using 100% natural bio-active extracts, and designed to help soothe the skin and support your skin’s natural recovery through scar massage.

The Scar Tape — "the shield" — shields and compresses the scar, helping to reduce tension on the skin and support smooth, even-looking scar tissue.

It is made from 100% medical-grade silicone and designed to help protect, flatten and soften new and old surgical scars as part of ongoing scar management.

The Scar Balm deeply nourishes scarred skin to support comfort and healthy-looking skin throughout recovery.

After your procedure:

• Soothes & calms → helps reduce the look of redness and feelings of irritation, and helps relieve feelings of discomfort and itchiness.
• Supports recovery → supports the skin’s natural recovery process and helps improve the look and feel of scarred skin over time.
• Protects & strengthens → helps reinforce the skin barrier, helps reduce moisture loss, and helps protect the skin from dryness and everyday environmental stressors.
  

The Scar Tape forms a breathable, protective barrier that supports healthy collagen organisation, helps minimise scar thickening, and supports scar management when used as directed.

After your procedure:

• Protects and compresses: the tape acts as a protective barrier and applies gentle compression to help minimise raised scar tissue.
• Maintains optimal moisture: The tape balances moisture levels in the scar by replicating the occlusion properties of the top layer of skin, while still allowing the skin to breathe. This helps support scar management and promote a smoother-feeling skin texture.

• Restora6 → Supports skin comfort and barrier function, helping the scar area feel more resilient over time.

1. How to use the Scar Balm:

The Scar Balm is specifically designed for scar massage and seamlessly integrates into your self-care routine

Before you begin:

• Your incisions must be fully healed and stable
• Do not massage an unsealed scar or a scab
• If unsure, check with your medical team to confirm your scar is ready for massage

Massaging too early can reopen the scar or increase the risk of infection. Always wait until your scar is completely sealed and stable.

To apply:

• Use once or twice daily
• Place a small amount onto your fingertip — just enough to cover the entire scar with a thin layer (a little goes a long way)
• Start gently massaging the balm into the scarred area using steady motions to move the scar and skin, rather than just rubbing the surface
• Apply firm but gentle pressure — you should see the skin whiten slightly, indicating you're moving the scar tissue itself
• Work your way across the entire scar and surrounding area for 3 to 5 minutes

Recommended duration:

• Massage for a minimum of 12 weeks
• For best results, continue to massage for up to 12 months

2. How to use the Scar Tape:

The Scar Tape is atraumatic and should adapt smoothly to body contours.

Application:

• Ensure the skin is clean and dry
• If combining with the Scar Balm, wait at least 6 hours for it to absorb into the skin
• Tear or cut the tape to the desired size and shape
• Remove the protective liner and apply the tape along the scar line, without stretching
• Leave the tape on for 1–7 days, following either the daily or weekly routine (see alternating routines for more details)
• If needed, remove and reposition or store carefully for later use (beware of hairs, dust, and other irritants)
• Use for a minimum of 12 weeks, and up to 12 months

❗ Skin Sensitivity ❗

Mild skin reactions to adhesives can happen. If so, shorten the use interval or pause entirely and focus on using the Scar Balm only.

3. How to alternate between the Balm & Tape:

For optimal results, we recommend alternating between the Scar Tape and Scar Balm at regular intervals. For example, use the Scar Tape during the day and the Scar Balm at night, or alternate between several days of using the tape and several days of using the balm.

Everyone’s routine will vary slightly — here are the two routines our patients have found most effective.

Routine 1 — The Daily Routine (rotation every 12 hours)

This short-interval routine switches products within a 12-hour cycle — recommended for those with known skin sensitivities.

• Day — Apply the tape to leverage its protective benefits when your skin is more exposed to sunlight, external irritants, and friction from clothing.
• Night — After removing the tape, apply the Scar Balm to nourish and hydrate the skin overnight, when it best absorbs nutrients.

Routine 2 — The Weekly Routine (rotation every 1–7 days)

This long-interval routine switches products every 1–7 days, based on skin sensitivity — for example, a week-on/week-off or weekday/weekend cycle.

• Apply the tape and leave it on for as long as it remains comfortable — for example, Monday to Friday in a weekday routine (maximum 7 days).
• Then give your skin a break: remove the tape and massage the Scar Balm into your scar once or twice daily until you’re ready to reapply — for example, over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday)

Important: make sure not to apply the tape directly over the balm — it won’t stick properly. The balm needs time to fully absorb into the skin to avoid interfering with the tape’s adhesive properties and ensure both products perform as they should.

If you experience any irritation or adverse reaction, stop using the product immediately and consult your doctor. And if you have any questions or concerns about your scar or the use of our products, don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help.

Important — Nokori includes both therapeutic goods (such as silicone Scar Tape) and cosmetic skin-care products.
