The professionals' choiceDescription
Our customers buy CureTape® Gentle because it is a gentle kinesiology tape and very suitable to use on people with very sensitive skin and vulnerable areas f.e. on the face or on thin skin (scar tissue).
CureTape® Gentle is gentle kinesiology tape and therefore very suitable to use on people with very sensitive skin such as young children or older people. CureTape® Gentle can also be used for tape applications on vulnerable areas, for example on the face or on thin skin. All the products in the CureTape® range are hypoallergenic and are manufactured in the THYSOL factory in Korea.

“I specifically looked for a tape for customers who have very sensitive skin (neurodermatitis). These customers can wear the other tapes for about 2 days, then it starts to itch. Fortunately, I have not yet had any experience with this sensitive tape.”

Japanese history of kinesiology tape
Kinesiology tape was developed in the 1970s in Japan. The method originated from the principles of the ‘Kinematics’ known under the English term ‘Kinesiology’. Kinesiology as a form of therapy utilises muscle testing in order determine where the muscle ROM (Range of Motion) or balance is disturbed in the body and how to restore the muscle balance back to normal function. Created in Japan this therapy was later practiced and expanded upon in Korea. It was discovered that by making use of elastic tape by the kinesiologist’s, a faster recovery of the muscle balance was achieved.
How does CureTape® Gentle work?
After application this elastic tape provides a lifting effect of the skin. The lifting effect has a great effect on blood and lymph flow, ensuring the removal of waste.
Several areas are affected in the skin:
- Moisture removal is improved. The lymphatic drainage causes things like edema and bags under the eyes and surgery fluid.
- Regeneration process of the connective tissue is stimulated.
- The tape ensures that a stimulus is given to the collagen and connective tissue that provides a recovery response, which over time creates a firmer connective tissue and skin improvement becomes visible.
- Fine wrinkles disappear and deep wrinkles become less visible.
- The muscle tone can be activated or sedated with tape.
Note: CureTape® Gentle is available in light beige.
