Operation
The elastic Temtex Kinesiology Tape provides a skin-lifting effect. Due to the special way of taping and the elasticity of the tape, the skin is pulled up, as it were, and space is created between the epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The blood circulation and lymph drainage increase due to the extra space created. Temtex can be left in place for several days, the healing process is continuously supported in this way.
