Directions:

(Please note that every patient is different and the below is just a general guide)

  1. After your first radiotherapy session,  apply a generous layer of Radiaderm R1 to the affected area. To cover an area of approximately 10 x 10cm (4 x 4 inches), use an amount of 6g, which is equivalent to a heaped teaspoon. It is essential to start using Radiaderm R1 from the first day of your treatment and continue applying it on all subsequent treatment days following radiotherapy sessions.
  2. The Gel should be left in place for a minimum of 20 minutes/ Do not rub into the skin. Any residue may be gently removed
  3. Move on to step two using R2 Soothing Lotion.
  4. R2 can be applied at any time between radiation sessions or whenever the skin may feel dry and tight.
  5. NB. It is very important that the skin is COMPLETELY CLEAN before a radiation session as to not have anything between the skin and the radiation beam.
  6. R1 and R2 is water soluble and can be washed off with just a little warm water.
  7. We do not recommend rubbing or scrubbing the skin to clean the area as the skin will be sensitive.
