General Guidelines for After Care 1. Keep Area Clean: o Do not wash with soap for 4 days. o Avoid rubbing the skin vigorously for at least 10 days. 2. Redness or Swelling: o Some redness or swelling may occur for 2-3 days. 0 1 in 25 people may experience light bruising, which will disappear quickly. o If swelling occurs, apply an ice pack for 10-minute sessions. o Light bruising may continue for several days. 3. Avoid Trauma: o Do not rub or traumatize the procedure area while healing, as this may remove pigment along with crusting tissue. 4. Avoid Certain Activities: o For 10 days, avoid contact with animals, gardening, sun, sauna,jacuzzi, chlorine pools, ocean, and steam rooms. o For at least 30 days, avoid swimming in pools or hot tubs. If necessary, keep the area dry and apply a light coat of petroleum jelly/ointment before entering. 5. Itching and Flaking: o Itching may occur after approximately 3 days, indicating the flaking process has started. o Apply ice to alleviate itching and use healing ointment orAquaphor thereafter. o Do not pick at the flakes; allow them to flake naturally to avoid insufficient pigment areas. 6. Avoid Certain Products: o Do not use products containing AHA's (e.g., glycolic, lactic acids) on the procedure area, as they will fade the pigment. o Always check product labeling. 7. Makeup and Washing: o Do not apply makeup to the tattooed area for at least 5 days. o Do not wash or use makeup remover on the procedure area for 48 hours following the procedure. o Avoid touching the area with fingers to prevent infection. o Use a clean cotton swab to apply healing ointment orAquaphor 3 times daily for 7-10 days. 8. Multi-step Process: o Paramedical and camouflage procedures are multi-step; final results cannot be determined until touch-up is completed. o The procedure area may remain lighter or darker throughout the healing process—this is normal. o Schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the area, whether or not a touch-up is needed. 9. Touch-up Appointment: o One free touch-up visit is included and must be completed 8-12 weeks after the initial procedure. o Missing this appointment will result in an additional charge. 10.
