After the procedure is done expect the area to appear frosted, inflamed, in some cases pinpoint bleeding and swelling. This will subside within the next 24 - 48 hrs.

A gauze bandage will be applied on top of the area which must be left on for 24 hrs. Wear loose clothing or keep the area exposed, depending on the location that it was treated you must keep the area protected from any friction or pressure as this may cause irritation, infection or scarring.

Cleanse the area with unscented soap (Dove Unscented Soap) and always pat dry afterwards. Make sure to be gentle and do not exfoliate the skin. Repeat this process 1 - 2 times daily until it is fully healed.

It will take up to 6 - 8 weeks to completely heal in between sessions. You will notice your body starting to metabolize and fade the pigment within the 10 - 12 day mark. We will continue to monitor your progress and insure the accurate amount of sessions to achieve your desired results.
