For the first 7–10 days:

• Keep the area clean and dry — avoid soaking in water.

• Gently blot with a clean tissue if needed (no rubbing).

• Do not pick, scratch, or peel scabs or flakes — this can cause scarring and pigment loss.

• Avoid makeup, creams, or cleansers on the area until healed.

• Apply the aftercare balm sparingly 2–3 times daily with clean hands/cotton bud.

Avoid for at least 10–14 days:

• Saunas, steam rooms, swimming, tanning, or heavy sweating.

• Direct sun exposure — once healed, always use SPF to protect pigment.

• Facials, chemical peels, laser, or exfoliating treatments.

Healing Process:

• Days 1–3: Colour will appear darker/bolder.

• Days 4–7: Scabbing/flaking may occur — this is normal.

• Weeks 3–6: Colour will soften, settle, and even out.

• Final results are seen after your touch-up appointment.

Important Notes:

• Healing is individual — some fading or patchiness is normal before the touch-up.

• Failure to follow aftercare may lead to poor retention or uneven results.

• If you experience unusual swelling, redness, or signs of infection, contact me immediately and seek medical advice.
