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.
