AFTER CARE REQUIREMENTS

  • Gently blot treated area with a clean and dry cotton round for the first 24 HOURS.​​

​

  • For the first FIVE DAYS following your appointment wipe the treated area with a damp cotton round. Discontinue this process after the fifth day or you will risk removing scabs prematurely which may affect color retention.​

​

  • If necessary, apply a rice size amount of ointment in the evening.​

​

  • Do not pick scabs; the scabbing process is to be expected and is a common part of the healing process.​

​

  • Avoid excessive sweating, long hot showers, swimming, or anything that may add moisture to the area for the first 14 days. â€‹

​

  • Do not apply makeup or additional products in the treated area until the scabs have healed.
