1. KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. Do not cover with a Band-Aid or anything else, leave open to air. Air/Oxygen provides good and faster healing. You should not be touching the area at all but if you find yourself needing to, please make sure your hands are exceptionally clean.

2. CLEAN BY BLOTTING THE AREA gentle cleanse the area with your cleansing soap and light amount of water 2-3 times a day, rinse cleanser off and completely dry using paper towel or gauze. NO ICE.

3. DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal, but keep the area out of the shower spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes. It is best to keep it dry, but if you do get it wet, gently pat dry.

4. NO BATHING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TUBS, TANNING, OR EXERCISE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

5. DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process (i.e. no picking, scratching, etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring. It is critical to keep the scabs on as long as possible to achieve optimum results. No make up on brows until they are done healing.

6. TREAT AREA WITH TLC. Do not do anything at all that could cause issues or problems to the treated area. Sleep with a fresh clean pillow case.

7. ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF, apply one drop of Vitamin E Oil 3 to 4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening session. DO NOT start applying the Vitamin E Oil UNTIL all scabbing has naturally and completely fallen off. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off.

8. REMOVAL FOR LIPS please drip all liquids with a straw until all scabbing has naturally fallen off. Brush with Tom’s of Maine or Classic Crest (no whitening, no peroxide toothpastes). Cut food into small bites, no biting into a sandwich. Try to keep mouth expressions to a minimum.

- It is important to the process and integrity of the skin that 8 full weeks of healing take place before another lightening session can be done. No exceptions.

- Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a long process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a lightening product service or laser. Please be patient and give the process a fair chance to work. Expect visible results in 2 to 5 sessions. How many sessions are needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be lightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process by color correcting or color shifting. In those cases where we have pigment misplaced or in an unwanted area, color correcting will not be an option and removing as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal.

- If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, please call me. If during the healing process you think you’re getting an infection please contact me so I can help you in what to do next and contact your doctor or head to your closest Instacare.
