Post Treatment Care

It is very important that clients follow the aftercare for a nice result and avoid infection, pigment loss or discoloration

  * The first day after procedure, clean the area often every 1 or 2 hours (max 5 times) by washing gently with fresh water and mild soap (do not use sponge or face washing devices), simply splash with water to remove the soap. Avoid deep cleansing creams, acne cleanser. Then apply a thin (just enough) aftercare ointment such as Aquaphor, A&D and Vaseline after each cleaning by using a clean Q-tip to gently spread it on. Never touch the area without washing your hands right before.

* Day 2 to day 7: reduce the washing to only 2 times a day and even more gently, dap dry after cleaning and continue to put on very thin layer of ointment. If you have oily skin, make sure you apply the ointment as little as possible. Over use the ointment will clog your pores and make the scabs come off sooner than expect.

* After 7 days, if still have a lot of crush left, no need to wash as much, just continue lightly put thin ointment on.

NOTE:

·         Avoid direct water on face during shower, limit the amount of water running on brows also avoid stay in shower for a long time. NO hot tubs, NO heavy workouts, No pool – beach, NO sun exposure.

·         Ointment rather be too little than too much

·         Do not rub or pick at the crush that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. Picking or pulling the crush can result in losing the moderate amount of pigment underneath.

·         Swelling, itching, scabbing, light bruising and tightness may happen.

·         Too dark at the first 7 days is also normal, the darkness will fade once the crush (scabs) come off and the slightly uneven in color (or loosing some hairstrokes) may occur, the color will continue to settle in for the next few weeks. Please allow at least 4 weeks for the full result in color to show, and with the same time skin will heal completely and correctly. Any correction can be address at least 4 weeks or at touch up session.

·         After the complimentary touch up, maintenance may be needed every 12-24 months to keep the shape symmetrical and color refreshed.

WHAT TO BE AVOIDED AFTER TREATMENT
