Aftercare

*Post treatment - pigment colour will appear up to 50% darker in the first 24- 72hrs. Pigment colour will fade around days 4-7 and the true colour of the pigment will not come through till around week 4. Sometimes during healing the colour may disappear as it is obscured by the healing skin. This is a completely normal healing response and why it is essential to attend your top up appointment. 

You are provided with a full aftercare kit at your appointment. 

Please apply a thin layer of the repair balm regularly through the day for the first 2 weeks - continue to do so less regular daily for up to 6 weeks.

To clean the treatment area - wipe gently with a cotton wool pad and cool boiled water or sterile wipe provided.

Do not rub or scratch the treatment area. Pat dry with clean a towel or tissue. 

Do not expose treatment area to extreme temperatures whilst healing. Sun beds, saunas, sunbathing, hot tubs.

Avoid makeup on the area for 7 days.

Lips - Do not over stretch lips, cut food into smaller bite size pieces. Avoid hot drinks for first 48hrs, leave drink cool. 

**Cold sores** - If you have previously suffered with cold sores or carry the herpes simplex virus, the chance of an outbreak is high. This can be managed using Zovirax or taking Acyclovir from your GP or pharmacy before and after your appointment.

Areola - Avoid tight fitting and lace underwear, use the protection dressings provided. 

Scalp - Avoid washing your hair for 48 hrs post treatment and any products on the scalp for 4 days.
