Aftercare

Your own aftercare instructions come first. At the end of your appointment Oksana explains how to care for your treatment and which products to use. Follow those instructions — the notes below are a general overview of what to expect.

The first days

• The area usually looks darker and more defined than the final result. This is normal and softens as it heals.
• Some redness, mild swelling or tenderness can occur in the first day or two.
• Keep the area clean and follow the care routine you were given.

While it heals

• Do not pick, scratch or rub the area — removing flakes early can take pigment with them.
• Avoid makeup on the treated area, and avoid sauna, swimming, steam and heavy sweating until it has healed.
• Protect the area from strong sun.

After healing

• As the skin settles, the colour can look lighter for a while before it evens out.
• A touch-up session after healing is recommended to perfect the result — ask about timing and price when you book.
• Sun protection on the area helps the colour last longer.
