HEALING & MINIMIZING INFECTION
HANDS OFF
Avoid touching the treated scalp area with your fingers. Bacteria can cause infections.
Cleaning Routine: Gently cleanse the area daily with water. Apply a thin layer of healing ointment twice a day (morning and night) using a clean cotton swab until the scabs completely disappear.

PROTECTING THE NEW PIGMENT
LEAVE THE SCABS ALONE
Don't rub or pick at the scabs! This can remove pigment and lead to scarring.

Avoid sun exposure, swimming (chlorine pools and natural bodies of water), saunas, jacuzzis, contact with animals, and gardening for 7-10 days (until completely healed) after the procedure and touch-up.
HOLD OFF ON PRODUCTS
Skip makeup, tinting, lotions, and other facial products on the treated area for 7-10 days.
