What Is The Transdermal Process?
The transdermal process is a method of delivering active compounds through the skin and into local tissues and circulation over time. This route supports controlled release and avoids gastrointestinal breakdown that can reduce oral product effectiveness.
Yakou patches are designed for sustained external application and targeted comfort support at the affected region.
Compared with short oral relief cycles, one properly applied patch can provide support for up to 24 hours based on skin response and climate.
Basic Questions Before The Application
Where?
First, you need to point the origin of the pain. It can be in the open body area or under the garments, straight or joint section, which is further going to affect the application of the patch.
How Many?
Secondly, you need to understand the span of the pain, whether traumatic or chronic or you feel a slight pinch, as this factors further decides the no. of patches required along with the time period to heal.
What Conditions?
Lastly, not only place and time matters but external factor like climatic conditions of the place you live also affect the application.
How Long?
1st Patch
You can apply for 24 hours. Then give a gap of 4-5 hours before applying the 2nd patch.
2nd Patch
You can apply for 24 hours. Before applying the 3rd patch, give a gap of 12-24 hours (depending on the humidity level).
3rd Patch
You can apply up to 24 hours. Give a gap of 4-5 hours before applying the 4th patch.
4th Patch And Onward
Then give a gap of 24 hours before applying the 5th patch and so on...
Important Guidelines For Effective Results
The basic guidelines on how to apply the patch has already been stated but there are some factors that should be kept in mind-
High Humidity
If the humidity is high, we recommend using 1 patch for not more than 12 hours for undergarment uses, as your body will sweat more it might leading to itchy skin due to lack of air circulation/ventilation and hence disrupting the efficiency of the product upon exposure to moisture. So, we suggest to apply the patch at night before going to sleep for better outcomes.
Rest Your Skin
Also, try giving a gap of 4-5 hours before applying 2nd patch to affected area, as this time gap will let your skin restore its absorption power further allowing the components of the patch to penetrate again.
Cold & Dry Climate
If the temperature is cold and dry then 1 patch can be kept applied for 1 or 1½ day depending on your skin's sensitivity.
Note
Once the Patch pack seal is opened, store it inside a plastic or zip pack to help preserve the patches' effectiveness. This will protect them from air, moisture, and contaminants that could reduce their potency.

Transdermal Patch Application
Level Of Pain
Sudden trauma cases can show early relief after the first patch. Additional patches may be used based on response and comfort.
For chronic conditions such as long-standing joint discomfort, consider a slower cycle with physiotherapy support and observation gaps between applications.
Timespan
Most important factor is Time. Your pain will heal with our patches but need to provide time as it is not a magical patch that will heal you as soon as you apply but it works miraculously if you give time and apply following the guidelines.
Support Strategy
To keep the patch stable, use light support at dynamic joints such as elbow or knee. Avoid tight wrapping that may limit ventilation.
Follow the RICE method for strains and sprains: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
Muscle Strain (Grade 1 And Grade 2)
Grade 2
- Moderate tissue stretch with partial tearing.
- Moderate swelling and reduced strength.
- Significant tenderness on palpation.
How To Ease It
- Apply one patch and avoid stress to the affected area.
- Apply the second patch after a 3 to 4 hour gap.
- After two patches, keep a one-day gap before the third.
Ligament Sprain (Grade 1 And Grade 2)
- Apply patch at the affected area and rest for the day.
- Keep about 4 hours between two patches and 24 hours after two patches.
- Follow the RICE method and support the joint during movement.
Ligament Sprain Grades
A grade 1 ligament sprain is a mild injury that involves some stretching or slight tearing of a ligament, while a grade 2 sprain is a more severe injury that involves a partial tear of a ligament:
Grade 1 Sprain
A mild injury with minimal pain, swelling, and bruising. The ankle feels stable and it's usually possible to walk with minimal pain.
Grade 2 Sprain
A more severe injury with moderate pain, swelling, and bruising. The ankle feels somewhat stable, but the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.
Make Sure Your Joints Gets Support
Stability
Helps keep the knee aligned, reducing strain on muscles and ligaments.
Injury Prevention
Reduces the risk of further damage during movement or physical activity.
Tendonitis And Tendinosis
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon with pain, swelling, and stiffness. Tendinosis is a longer term degenerative tendon condition caused by repeated strain and incomplete healing.
- Apply patch to the painful area and provide adequate rest.
- Use RICE support where needed.
- Add rehabilitation movement based on comfort and clinical advice.
Healing Timeline
Healing is progressive and depends on injury type, age, routine stress load, and pre-conditions. Chronic pain can require a longer support period.
