Aftercare Instructions

Day of procedure

Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.

Days 1-7

Wash daily to remove bacteria and dead skin. Gently wash the area each morning and night with cool boiled or distilled water and fragrance-free soap. With a soft touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue.

Following cleaning, apply a rice grain size of ointment provided and gently spread it across the area. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

Important Reminders

• Use a fresh bedding set or pillowcase
• Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of colour
• No facials, fillers, botox or chemical treatments for 4 weeks
• Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week
• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure
• Avoid heavy sweating and long hot showers for 10 days
• Avoid sleeping on your face for first 10 days
• Avoid saunas, sunbeds, swimming for first 10 days
• Avoid topical makeup including sunscreen on the area
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the area

Important note about showering

Avoid long hot and steamy showers. When possible, keep treated area out of water while you wash your body and hair. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.

Ongoing care

Keep your Permanent Makeup or Fine Line Tattoo protected from UV rays. Always wear SPF 100 when exposure is unavoidable.
