  • Do not let shower head hit Brows directly while healing.
  • Day2 – wash hands for 20 seconds then gently clean the old ointment off and let dry100% before reapplying a thin, rice grain size amount of ointment with a Q-tip. Do this once a day for oily skin and twice a day for dry skin. Apply on treated areas daily for 5-10 days until completely healed. Less is more with the Ointment. You want the skin to breathe to heal properly.
  • No strenuous exercise for 7-Days. Sweat can lead to infection. Salt from sweat can lead to premature fading and will require more touch-ups.
  • No water activities, steam room or sauna for 14-days to avoid infection.
  • No Make-up on the treated area for 14-days. (Make-up Homes alot of bacteria)
  • Do not pet animals or garden while healing to avoid infection.
  • Do Not Scrub, Pick, Rub or Scratch treated area. (Picking scabs will result in pigment loss, scarring and delayed healing).
  • Several sessions maybe needed to achieve goals. Building on pigment makes the treated area look better with each session. An 80% Improvement is a realistic goal. Trust the process.
  • We recommend annual touch-ups. This is low maintenance.
  • Take advantage of up-coming specials.

In The Next 30 Days Avoid: Sun tanning, Sunbeds, light Laser Therapy, Chemical peels, Fruit acids, Microdermabrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors.

Pigment will look darker and intense the first week or so, this is because the pigment is fresh and sitting on top of the skin. Color lightens by 30-40% on Average When the new skin heals over.

Any redness or swelling will go away within 2-3 hours. If you are excreting a lot of lymph fluid monitor and blot the treatment area for six hours following your procedure. Make sure your hands are clean and Blot with a tissue or blot sheet. Excessive lymph fluid can cause more
Scabbing, the tattoo can get dry and flaky and sometimes appear patchy as skin heals over pigment. It typically resurfaces into week3-4 of healing.
