After Care Requirements
-
Gently blot treated area with a clean and dry cotton round for the first 24 hours.
-
For the first 5 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.
-
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.
-
Do not apply makeup or additional products in the treated area until the scabs have healed.
