AFTERCARE
After care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
• Keep the area clean by washing with freshly washed hands and a mild cleanser. Do not use a washcloth or sponge to remove soap. Simply splash with water. Do not use cleansing products containing acids or any exfoliants during the first week after treatment.
• Apply the aftercare ointment with a Q-tip. Use the ointment very sparingly. Too little is better than too much. We want your skin to breathe and not clog your pores. Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before.
• Do not scrub, rub or pick during skin peeling stage. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
• Avoid using whitening product on eyebrow.
• Avoid hot tubs, swimming pools and hot baths for the first week. No heavy exercising for at least 48 hours. Avoid direct sunlight or tanning for the first week.
WHAT’S NORMAL?
• Swelling, itching, scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness.
• Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 3-7 days the darkness will fade. The follow-up touch up is highly recommended as any concerns can be addressed.
• Colour change or colour loss. As the procedure area heals, the colour will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear. This is normal. The procedure area has to be completely healed before we can address any concerns. This takes at least four weeks.
• Needing a touch up months or years later. A "primary touch up" is needed within 4-6 weeks (minimum 4 weeks recovery) after the initial appointment to achieve the final result or adjustment . Thereafter maintenance (Regular Touch Up) may be needed every 12-18 months to keep the shape symmetrical and the colour refreshed.
Failure to follow after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discolouration.
