The day of the treatment: Absorb

After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until to oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

Days 1-7: Wash

Gently pat with damp paper towel to remove any dirt and oil and lymph and then a dry paper towel for first seven days. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

Days 1-7: Moisturize 

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated 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 pillowcase while you sleep

  • Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away
    Picking can cause scaring or loss of color

  • No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion for four weeks

  • Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week

  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for four weeks after the procedure
    Wear a hat when outdoors

  • Avoid long, hot showers for the first ten days

  • Avoid sleeping on your face for the first ten days

  • Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first ten days

  • Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the brow area

  • DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area

Important note about showering: Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
