AFTERCARE
Day 1: 24 hours keep the treatment area dry.
Day 2-3: Use only clear water to wash the treatment area.
Day 3: Start applying healing cream onto treatment area for one week, at night time.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the treatment area.
- On day 4, you may shower or bathe normally, but avoid using any soaps or cleansers on the treated area for the first 3 days as they can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilize in the dermis.
- Do NOT pick or scratch at the dry skin/flakiness; let the skin fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring and premature loss of pigment. IMPORTANT: Once the flakes have fallen off, a shiny layer of healing skin will completely cover the hair strokes. It will appear as though the eyebrows are gone. Within 1-2 weeks, the hair strokes will slowly reappear at a lighter shade as your skin regenerates.
- You must avoid working out for 1 week following your appointment. Light exercising is allowed (minimal sweating), but you MUST clean the treatment area with lukewarm water as soon as you are done exercising. The salt in the sweat will fade the pigment very quickly and give poor results.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for the first 14 days. You MUST wear a hat while outside during the healing process.
- Do NOT apply make-up to the treatment area for the first 2 weeks. Chemicals of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your treatment.
- No swimming pools, jacuzzis, or other bodies of water for two weeks.
- No facials, Chemical peels, Rettinol, or laser facial treatments on face for 2 weeks.
ONCE HEALED
- Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, you may apply sunscreen on the treated area. Wear large sunglasses and a hat for further protection.
- Glycolic Acid, Retin-A, face peels and exfoliation must be kept away from the treatment area as continued use could lighten the pigment.
- If you are having laser resurfacing or laser hair removal after your treatment has healed, please inform the laser technician. Laser procedures may darken, lighten, or discolor the treatment area.
