After-Care Instructions

Important Information!

Some redness/swelling/light bruising and slight itching during the healing process post-procedure is normal. If you experience heavy itching, extreme swelling, blistering, or any other complications within the first 24 hours post-procedure, stop using your after-care product immediately. If symptoms continue, or you experience abnormal swelling/redness or shortness of breath/trouble breathing, inform your artist, your primary doctor, or go to the closest Hospital ER; you may be having an allergic reaction to the pigment and/or the aftercare product you are using.

Some factors are in your control, and others may not be.

Factors Within Your Control:● Nutritional status (vitamin status and how healthy you eat can influence how you heal)● Hydration of the skin (meaning you want to be drinking plenty of water)● How closely do you follow aftercare instructions (avoiding makeup, sun, lotion, etc. on the wound while it is healing)● Smoking (smoking will increase healing time & make your pigment fade quickly; please avoid smoking during the healingprocess)
Factors Outside of Your Control: ● The age of your skin (younger skin tends to retain pigment less than mature skin)● Oily skin (the more oily the skin the shorter the results will last)● Excessive sun damage● Genetics and issues with immune function● Hormone imbalances such as hypothyroidism or estrogen dominance can impact pigmentation of the skin● Medical conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes● High levels of stress
