Aftercare

Days 1-2

• Blot the treated area every 15 minutes after your appointment, then hourly at home for the first day. Continue blotting periodically for three days to prevent scabbing.

• Wash the area twice daily with a mild cleanser (e.g., Dial, Cetaphil, Cerave).

Day 3

• Begin using ointment morning and night for three days.

• After washing, pat dry and wait 15 minutes before applying a thin layer.

• If irritation, bumps, or rash occur, discontinue use.

Healing Timeline

• Days 1-2: Slight skin irritation or swelling. Pigment may appear darker and thicker.

• Days 3-4: Peeling begins. Skin may feel tight and itchy—start applying ointment.

• Days 5-7: Outer color flakes off, revealing a softer color. Some spottiness may occur.

• Days 8-30: Pigment "blooms" as dead skin sheds. Final color is visible around 4 weeks.

Avoid The Following:

• Avoid exercise, sweating, pools, lakes, beaches, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 10 days.

• No makeup on the treated area for at least 5 days.

• No facials or chemical treatments for 2 weeks.

• Do not pick, peel, or scratch—this can cause uneven healing and pigment loss.

• (Eyeliner only) No contact lenses for 5 days. Avoid lash lifts, tints, extensions, or serums for at least 8 weeks.

Follow-Up

• Healing takes 6-8 weeks before any touch-ups can be done.

• Some clients heal perfectly, while others may need a second session to refine color and shape.
