How to use
Welcome to the Kinshape Instructions & Video Tutorials section, where we’ll guide you step by step toward the perfect application of our innovative kinesiotapes.
Our products are designed to give you a non-invasive facial rejuvenation experience, helping you enhance your natural beauty simply and effectively.
Whether you’re brand new to facial kinesiotaping or already an experienced user, these instructions will help you get the most out of your tapes, making sure your application is safe, comfortable, and effective.
Follow our tips carefully to transform your beauty routine and discover the true potential of your skin.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If it’s your first time using kinesiotapes, we recommend wearing them for just 2-4 hours during the day for your initial treatments, and then gradually increasing your wear time as your skin gets used to them.
Do not use all the Kinshape sets at the same time — stick to a maximum of 2 sets at once.
ALLERGY TESTING:
Kinshape kinesiotapes are made with carefully selected materials to minimize the risk of irritation, including natural cotton and elastane that are hypoallergenic, and a non-toxic adhesive.
However, if you have particularly sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, we strongly recommend doing a patch test before using the tapes for longer periods.
Apply a piece of tape to a discreet area, like your wrist or the inside of your arm.
Leave it on for a few hours (2-3 hours) and watch for any skin reactions.
If you experience itching or any other irritation, remove the tape immediately and consult a Doctor before continuing use.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Kinshape kinesiotapes are safe and dermatologically tested to be compatible with all skin types, including sensitive skin.
However, they are not suitable for use if you have certain medical conditions, such as:
- Individual intolerance or allergy to any of the components (like acrylic adhesive)
- Skin conditions such as open wounds, injuries, cuts, burns, herpes, topical ulcers, or pustules — you should wait until the skin has completely healed before applying kinesiotapes
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Cardiovascular, kidney, or respiratory conditions; cancer; chronic illnesses; severe acne; or other serious skin diseases
- After invasive cosmetic surgeries (such as facelifts, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty), it’s important to wait until you’re fully healed and to check with your Doctor before resuming any treatment
- If you’ve had Botox, fillers, or hyaluronic acid injections, wait at least 15 days after your last injection before starting any tape application.
In these cases, it’s also best to consult your Doctor first. - If you have a history of facial paralysis or neurological conditions
Always consult a Doctor before use if you’re unsure or if you have any of these conditions.
PLEASE NOTE:
Kinshape is not responsible for any injuries resulting from improper use of the kinesiotapes or for unexpected allergic reactions.
These instructions have been created to help you have a safe and effective experience while using Kinshape products.
Please follow all guidelines carefully to achieve the best results and ensure a safe and enjoyable routine.

IMPORTANT:
Using moisturizer and serum not only enhances the effects of the treatment but also helps keep your skin hydrated and makes tape removal gentler and more comfortable.

Carefully peel the kinesiotape away from its protective backing by tearing the paper underneath to expose the adhesive anchor point.
Keep your forehead relaxed and gently lift the skin upward with one hand placed above your forehead.
