BEFORE/AFTER Japanese steroid tape ~ (5 month update)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Hi my friends!
Since my last video, I ordered Japanese Eclar Plaster, the stronger version of steroid tape that's out there. I know I've advised against getting this in past videos due to importing restrictions and such, but my Cordran tape expired and I couldn't help my curiosity.
In this video I'll cover how I felt ordering from Mimaki Family Pharmacy and if I feel that it's worked in these past 5 months.
3:13 - Before/after photos
To my people who have been using this tape, how is it going? I would love to know!
If you'd like to keep up with me and my updates; please feel free to subscribe and follow me on instagram (@india_jasiri) :)
In looking at my before and after photos, can you tell a difference?
Hello I followed your very interesting video. For the patches for cheloid scarring. I can't access the site so I can order I'm in France
@@katylaurent3575 Hi! Someone else in the comments (Mia Diaz) had an issue accessing the website as well. I don't know how to troubleshoot that, but someone suggested to try using a VPN. We can ask Mia if that helped!
@@katylaurent3575 Mia let me know that using a VPN allowed her to access the website. She said, "I just downloaded a random vpn app called ‘Free VPN’ (with a unicorn icon) and chose the Japan server, watched a few ads to connect to it and I could access the website! I’m not sure how to change the currency however." Hope that helps you!
contour and texture is different. improved.
What’s the web address.
Thank you for the update and all the info! Yes its looking better 🤩
Of course! And glad you think so!! I’ve stared at it for too long and can’t tell anymore 😂
I thought I would come back to thank you! It was from your comments I learned about this tape a year ago and It changed my life. I had a keloid growing on my jaw but now its flat - not completely but there's a huge difference.
I do notice when I don't wear it for a week, it starts to itch slightly so Im probably going to pair with kenelog in the future, Its great for new injuries to prevent them from forming a keloid as well - wish I knew about it sooner!
Ohh Sayedero I am so glad to hear this. I think I will also pair with injections soon. Wishing you even more success in your healing!
Hello! Do u have an email or an instagram? I would like to know more about your journey please!
I also have a keloid on my jaw
I want to share my experience with Eclar! In 2018-2019 some acne lesions on my chest showed no sign of healing and they started to grow so I realized they were keloids. I am almost sure the cause was a silver pendant I was using at that time: rubbing all day on my skin it ignited the inflammatory process. I tried silicon sheets for two years but they did not stop the growth. After finding the studies on deprodone propionate I decided to buy Eclar. On August 2021 I started the therapy: for the first 8 months the five keloids remained almost the same, but from May 2022 something changed and now, October 2022, they are COMPLETELY FLAT! There is still the initial redness, but I am really satisfied with the results, so far. Two keloids were hard to the touch, about 2 cm wide and 0.5 cm high, the other three were smaller. I am 36: being older means slower healing. I advise to change the plasters every 24 hours, to cover the affected areas only and be consistent.
Hi.. do u think it will work on old keloid scars.. say, 12 years old?
@@nbcandalasia4237 Hi, I am not an expert : I read that usually the healing process tends to be slower for adults, but this active principle can be effective because is stronger than other corticosteroids.
So glad to hear this!!! Wooo!!!
Hi that's amazing ! are you followed by a dermatologist when you are using Eclar ? Can you detail more how are you using eclar i have keloid on my chest and i really want to try.
@@hervel9562 Hi Hervé, no I did not consult a dermatologist, because my father is a doctor: I am in good health, I had no previous pathologies or specific contraindications that could have prevented the use of topical corticosteroids, but it is advisable to consult a specialist if you have doubts. The procedure is simple: once a day I wash the affected area (I use Marseille soap) and I cut a stripe for every single keloid (covering only the red part or slightly less, not touching the healthy skin). An important precaution: totally avoid sun or use massive protection, because it can worsen the inflammation and the pigmentation, even near the affected areas, given that keloids tend to expand laterally.
I have been looking for the tape here in Nigeria but couldn’t find it
It is looking great India! I can tell the difference. Please keep us updated with the progress. I am interested to see how it looks in a few more months. I have keloid at the back of my head. Would like to try this plaster and see if I helps reduce the size.
Thank you Davey! Will do. I'm sure it's quite a challenge having a keloid somewhere you can't easily reach. Sorry about that- hopefully the tape does it and you can try it confidently!
I’ve been using the same for 2 months and so far it flattened my super small keloid tho I still feel the tiny bump when I touch it. I learned about eclair plaster from you, except from it’s cheaper it’s also effectively works. Bought it from the same shop you got yours.
Ah that’s awesome!! Sounds like you’re on your way to some even better results if you keep it up for a few more months. Did you just buy the 10-pack? I had no idea how much I’d need so I went for 50
@@indiajasiri I bought 50 packs just to make sure that I won’t run out of it cause if I order next time there might be some delays because of pandemic. Japan to Philippines isn’t that far tho I’ll still use it even when I get to Canada. Yeah I just keep using it and I use it the same way you use it. Can’t wait to get rid of this tiny keloid. I hope you’ get rid of yours too.
@@ralphmilnerrr That's awesome! Thanks so much; good luck to you too :)
Hi i was wondering how can you tell a super small keloid from a pimple? Cuz I’ve had several bumpy pink ones on my back but I am not sure what it is.
@@yuxinz3228 If it stays for more than a month it’s not a pimple. Or if it’s a pimple it might be healed but the keloid started to form it’s why there are pinkish or red bumps.
Hello, can you please do an update on this as it’s been a while now?? Thank you
How often do you use it?
Hey is there an update please??

You look great thinks for checking in.
Thank you! 😊
i wonder if it will also work on older keloid scars? and the ones over joint areas?
It does 😁
Is it ok when normal skin touches the tape, coz i have keloids on my chest and they're a few spaces apart. So i was thinking instead of cutting it piece by piece, why not just put the whole thing in? 😅
You’ll want to minimize the amount of healthy skin that comes into contact with the steroid tape. Try to avoid- not good for healthy skin!
It looks good to me. Does your keloid feel flat? It looks like there's just some pinkness left. Would you consider laser to help with the color?
Hi! The area that is pink is a keloid. There is a tiny bit more bulk in the back, and it’s hard. I know it doesn’t look like typical keloids in this area normally do- that’s because they have been removed three times. Used to look like big marbles!
I think in order to say the tape is 100% successful for me, that whole pink area would be more flush with my neck/cheek, if that makes sense.
If the keloid was gone, I personally wouldn’t worry about the color, as it’s easily covered by makeup. I know there are some laser keloid treatments, but I have read that laser treatments could stimulate that excessive collagen production again and I wouldn’t want to risk it. This is why I won’t get laser facials either, as burns and scarring can happen after any type of laser treatment 😬 just my opinion of course!
Can you reuse the eclar plaster like silicon sheets?
No; the tape is not reusable like silicone sheets.
I want to order Cordran or Eclar tape but I heard you can only get it with a perscription from a Japanese doctor, so how did you manager to get it?
Cordran is by prescription only, the eclair tape was available to order without one in the online pharmacies
Hey I commented on your previous video. I too bought eclar plastor and started wearing them 5 days ago. I had my keloid removed behind my ear about a month ago. I was wondering if you had a business email or keloid related email so I could send you the before and after pics and you could use it in your videos! My keloid was quite big before I got it surgically removed. I’ll be getting a steroid injection next week and two more after that in a 3 month span. I’m hoping the steroid injections and steroid tape is enough to prevent it from growing back!
Hi again Joe!! I don’t have a keloid related email to give out at the moment but feel free to send those to me on Instagram! That would be absolutely cool to include in a future update video! I’m at @india_jasiri
Ahhh I’m so curious to see how it goes for you after first going through surgical removal 🫣🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Hi Joem6402 I also have a keloid behind my ear which was removed but started growing back. I have used the eclar plastor for around 11 months. Would love to connect with you and see how your keloid is doing? I have not come across anyone that has a keloid behind their ear.
@@hasud1895any updates on how your keloid is doing? did you get steroid injections after your surgery?
Hi, is it safe to use this tape for such a long time? I thought it's dangerous to use steroid long term.
Hi! The studies were mid to long term but it’s best to consult with your doctor or dermatologist.
Is the site down? Every time I open the link it says an error has occurred
It looks like the tape is not being sold on the mimaki website anymore. It's still available on the Japan Health store: bio-japan.net/eclar-plaster-20mcg
India, u are so nice
Can we get a new year update
My January is already very busy but I'll certainly try to do that this month!
where to order from?
bio-japan.net/eclar-plaster-20mcg
My CS scar is 7 months already can it still work for me?
I think results are going to vary greatly for everyone in general but the younger the scar the better; in my opinion 7 months is still pretty fresh compared to some of my scars.
I don’t see the tape on the website

@@indiajasiri on the website it only comes 10 per sheet…but I would like to contact you via instagram for advice even though your not a doctor 🩷
@@indiajasiri I sent you a message via instagram
I'm about to buy some are they effective also are you single?
Can't get on the website! Anyone wanna sell me half of their pack? Please???
Sorry for the late reply. It looks like it's out of stock on the other site bio-japan.net/eclar-plaster-20mcg as well. But it seems you can sign up for the waiting list. 🤞
Is this better than cordrane tape
It's stronger than cordran tape, so if stronger = better- yes.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong but what service did you use to purchase yours?
Btw I will let know how it goes for me. I’ve too been battling with a keloid for 15 years
@@Jerinajpt hi! Ordered straight from the mimaki family Japan website.
@@indiajasiri with a credit card ?
@@Jerinajpt sorry, I seemed to have missed this. As stated in the video, I sent them the money via wire transfer.

whelp, I'm not doing a wire transfer to Japan, but if you ever decide to eBay a sheet of that, or if anyone else does, I'll over pay you just to try it.
I have a very small bothersome hypertrophic scar on my face, and I've had it for years. I'm afraid, have a healthy fear of, getting surgery or letting someone take a laser to my face. I'd prolly try to use the tape, but with my scar so small, I would never need more than one sheet. Eventually it may find its way to the states. Thank you for creating the content. I totally understand what a constant pain in the ass scars are.
If you ever go the route of kenalog injections, make sure you find a doctor who knows about, and will dilute with F5 (Fluorouracil). F5 is a cancer drug, but it prevents the kenalog from leaving an indent from what I understand. Peace.
Totally feel that! I obviously didn’t use wise.com (the other option) so I don’t know if you’d trust that more. Did you check out the other Japanese site? Contact me through my website: indiajasiri.com
its worth the risk of losing 100$ man trust me the eclar plaster is the only thing I have found that actually works. Just like anything consistency and time are the two major factors in the treatment being successful.
How long does the injection takes effect?
Yea just got 100 sheets from them it came in two weeks in FedEx.
I can’t access the Mimaki Family website ;-;
Try using a vpn
What does your browser say when you try to access?
@@velafresh which one should I use?
@@indiajasiri Hi! It’s stuck on a blank loading screen. I’ve been to the doctors anyway and I’ve been prescribed the 4mcg steroid tape instead so I’ll use that for now :).
@@mimii.002 nord vpn I think I paid like $7 more or less able to access websites in jp
You are so beautiful
Thank you! ❤️
Can this be used on your face?
One of the study participants used it on a hypertrophic scar on her forehead/between her eyebrows, but I’d consult a medical professional first.
