Pre-Procedure Instructions
Apply aftercare serums on treated areas 2–3x a day with clean hands.
To help with swelling, use cold packs a few minutes on and a few minutes off. (First night only)
No sleeping on the area until swelling goes down.
No working out or excessive sweating for 5–7 days. You want to avoid sweating.
Do not wash the treated area with scented soap. You may use antiseptic soap.
Do not shower with hot water as it may cause irritation for the first few days.
No saltwater, no exfoliation, pools, and no laser hair removal or waxing on areas for 14 days.
Avoid sunbathing or have direct sun exposure on areas for 30–40 days.
First 30 days, do not use any type of self-tanning.
Gardening/soil contact near the area is prohibited for at least 7 days or until skin is completely healed.
Do not allow pets or animals near the treatment area (especially licking or touching the area) for at least 7 days or until fully healed.
Stretch marks will be dark. Please do not panic. Full healing takes 4–6 weeks.
Do not scrub, rub, or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it’s removed before it is ready, the pigment underneath it can be pulled out. (Inkless clients can also experience peeling. This is normal—do not peel.)
Be aware of the signs and symptoms of infection, including, but not limited to redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site.
