AFTER CARE

PLEASE READ THE AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC PROCEDURE- RECOMMENDED BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT.

​

Scar Camouflage & Inkless

Stretch Mark Revision Aftercare:

  1. Keep the area clean: Gently clean the treated area with mild soap and lukewarm water twice daily. Pat it dry with a clean towel, and avoid rubbing or scrubbing the tattooed skin.

  2. Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment: Use a recommended aftercare ointment provided by your technician or a pharmacy. Apply it to the treated area 2-3 times a day to keep the skin moisturized and promote healing.

  3. Avoid submerging in water: For the first week after the treatment, avoid swimming, soaking in hot tubs, or taking long baths. This will prevent excessive moisture exposure and reduce the risk of infection.

  4. Wear loose clothing: Opt for loose-fitting, breathable clothing during the healing process to avoid friction and irritation on the tattooed area.

  5. Avoid direct sunlight: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight for at least two weeks. If you need to go outside, wear loose clothing or use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

  6. Refrain from scratching or picking: As the tattoo heals, it may become itchy. Avoid scratching or picking at the scabs to prevent scarring or color loss.

  7. Be mindful of your daily activities: Avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating or strain on the treated area during the first week of healing.

  8. No saunas or steam rooms: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, or any activity that causes excessive heat and sweating until the tattoo has fully healed.

  9. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, which aids in the healing process.

  10. Monitor for signs of infection: If you notice excessive redness, swelling, pus, or prolonged pain, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

  11. Attend your follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up session with your technician as advised to assess the healing progress and discuss any concerns you may have.

 

BROWS

Please take a break from any exfoliating anti aging/ anti acne products (retinoids, glycolics, vitamin c, AHA/ BHA, enzyme washes, serums, etc) near and around your brows area at least 2 weeks prior to your session and 2 weeks after for best healed results.

Any treatments such as lasers, peels, waxing, Botox, tinting, etc should also take place 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your appt.

  • Blot brows with paper before you go to bed, and apply a small amount of tattoo balm. You will wake up with bold brows - its temporary!

  • For the next 7 days, keep brows clear of water, sweat, working out, steam, and makeup.

  • Every morning clean brows gently w/ a damp paper towel & apply rice size amount of tattoo balm IF ADVISED.

    Apply VERY lightly, you should never have wet or greasy looking brows

  • Still be careful to avoid moisture and steam until day 10 & don't remove scabs

  • Brows will flake and scab. No picking or you'll pull out your tattoo! Let them peel naturally

  • On day 10 wash your brows with a mild cleanser and your finger tips to remove any dead skin

After washing, your tattoo will look too light. This is normal, don't panic!

  • More color will come back in a few weeks as your skin heals.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Brows may appear reddish and/or darker in color for the first week- this is temporary

  • Sometimes, the tattoo will appear lighter after the dead skin comes off and the color will bloom back to the surface later on.

  • Final results from each session will appear clearly after about 4 weeks, then it will be time for your follow up!

  • What to expect at the second appointment? We will assess your results and your skin’s reaction to the process, tweak and adjust anything that’s needed (like- lighter spots) and make sure the color, texture and shape look amazing overall!

  • Repeat the same exact aftercare post second session.

 

LIPS:

Day 1

  • Wipe lips every 30 minutes for 3 hours, in order to remove excess lymph and

    reduce any scabbing that may occur

  • Lip swelling may last up to 24 hours

  • Day 2-6

  • Lips will feel chapped and tight

    Apply our lip balm or Aquaphor 5 to 6 times a day. It's ok for

    lips to slightly dry out between applications

  • Use a straw to drink liquids

    Avoid steam, sun, soaking in water, swimming, sauna, etc.

  • Use a straw to drink liquids

  • When lips peel don't pick or rub!

    Moisturize and let skin shed naturally

  • During the first 4 weeks post procedure refrain from using

    exfoliants, acids, anti-aging creams, Neosporin, etc.

  • Your true color will appear in 4 weeks!

     

WHAT TO EXPECT

Day 1: Your skin will start slowly releasing lymph fluid right after your procedure. This is a common healing process for our bodies! Wipe your lips with water and a cotton round a few times today to minimize scabbing. Before bed apply Aquaphor/ grape seed oil. The color will look the most vibrant today.

Sometimes light bruises may occur, even after the procedure is over. It is normal and will disappear after a few hours.

Day 2: The lips may still be swollen today. Make sure you keep them moisturized with Aquaphor/ grape seed oil (do not apply ice- this will cause bruising).

Day 3-7: Keep moisturizing with Aquaphor as needed! Some light flaking or peeling may occur- this is normal. Do not pick on any dry skin.

After a few weeks: you will notice the actual healed results from your session (you’ll notice a few color changed until then).
