Recovery Aftercare Derm Shield Tattoo Aftercare Bandage Roll - Waterproof Adhesive Bandages, Transparent Matte Film - 6 Inches x 2 Yards

I bought some for a new ratoo, ended up using it on some blister forming on my thigh as a protective layer. It helped alot, as you can cut a big of piece as needed. The only issue I have is lifting off the top protective barrier once it's applied. You can even shower with it on and it will not come off (until you remove it) The directions say lasts about 7 days, Change out every 3-4 days)

I bought these for myself since I like the healing process better with the derm shield! Not every tattoo shop by me offers this, so I decided to buy it and bring with me . After five days I remove it and my tattoo is healed perfectly

Apply and forget. tattoo looks great after using this. It did it's job ... so no complaint.

I use this on my clients after their tattoo are done. So far I have not had anyone get an allergic reaction to it.

Great stuff for healing a tattoo and avoiding the peeling!

I consider Tegaderm the benchmark in assessing transparent, film dressings. It is an excellent brand and probably has the widest popularity and use medical facilities in the United States. It was also the first transparent film dressing to be available over the counter (that I know of)I have tried numerous others, but Derm Shield is the first transparent film that I like better because it is the least visible. I'm not a medical professional who can assess this type of bandage for wounds holding an IVs and such things. I can, however, offer the review from the perspective of a person who use this transparent dressing cover small wounds, over hydrocolloid bandages and to protect fragile skin all over from face to foot.Derm Shield is marketed for a post-inking aftercare to help protect fresh tattoos. I cannot attest to its use in the situation either, so do not know if there any different things one has to consider when putting bandages over fresh ink. But I do know that Tegaderm has long been used for that purpose, so a comparison between the two might be valid.That being true, I would buy Derm Shield in a heartbeat over it or any other transparent film dressing because Derm Shield lasts just as long and the most invisible.I originally wrote this review after comparing for a couple hours but decided to leave the dressings on for a few days, so I could include information about durability in my review. I've taken several pictures that I hope will help others . The Tegaderm I was using was from a 2" wide roll as pictured above. (A much cheaper option than individual "frame style" dressings").For the first picture I picked an area that is difficult for transparent film dressings to remain invisible: around the mouth where wrinkles and movement are issues. For this comparisonI used not only Tegaderm and Derm Shield, but also peice cut from an Opove frame style dressing. The Derm Sheild was a little harder to apply when cutting prices this small. The edges seem harder to get sealed down flat. I'm not sure cutting from a smaller piece would make a difference.However, the Derm Shield film is the least noticable film whether around my mouth, on forearm or over the "tattoos" I drew on my calves. Because the edges were a bit more difficult to get totally flat, I worried the Derm Shield wouldn't last as long. However, after 5 days including two really long showers, the Derm Shield held just as well. The picture of the two films on my forearm shows that both brands had no problem staying on for 5 days. I included pictures of the two films on my calves taken 5 days later as well, but unfortunately I had forgotten about them and scratched my leg so the Derm Shield is peeling up more around the edges than is a fair comparison. However, that happened a couple days ago and I'm surprised it didn't continue to peel off. With many bandages once the edge comes up, it's all over.But the Derm Shield held like a champ.Buying this in the big roll then cutting it makes this a great deal.

Pricey but works great. Love the matte look. Haven’t had any client complain about a skin reaction like they had with other brands.
