How to Use SOLARAZE® Gel

Just follow these simple steps:

  • Wash your hands.
  • Gently smooth a small amount of SOLARAZE® Gel on the affected skin, covering it completely, as directed by your doctor. The amount of gel that you need depends on the size of the area being treated.
  • Use SOLARAZE® Gel twice a day for 60 to 90 days. A good way to remember to do this is to apply it in the morning as you are dressing and at night before going to bed.
  • Wash your hands after applying the gel.
  • Avoid getting SOLARAZE® Gel in your eyes. Be careful if you are using it on your face. Also, after applying it to any area, remember to wash your hands before touching or rubbing your eyes.
