Days 1-7 Following Your Appointment:

• Gently clean the area by splashing the area with lukewarm water over the sink, and blot dry with a clean paper towel.  

• Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water. 

• Use a small amount of the removal solution on a clean, provided applicator and gently apply to skin. You want the solution to absorb but not leave the skin wet. Apply sparingly.  

Days 8-14:

Every morning and night, rinse the area with lukewarm water, pat dry GENTLY and apply your aftercare ointment.  

• Gently clean the area by splashing the area with lukewarm water over the sink, and blot dry with a clean paper towel.

​

​

Avoid any excessive water on the area. Do not sweat, use hot tubs, swimming pools, saunas/steam rooms or facial treatments. Do Not apply make-up, Spray Tans, Retinol, Retin A, Lactic Acid or Vitamin C products to the area until healed. During the healing, the skin will most likely scab. Wear shower visors when showering (instructions below). 

​

To apply shower visor: 

• Make sure forehead is clean of any oils or makeup.  

• Remove the white strip from the shower shield to expose the sticky strip. 

• Apply to forehead above eyebrows, but below hairline.  

• Keep the show visor on during the duration of your shower and remove once finished.

Things To Remember: 

• If you experience scabbing, do not rub, scratch or pick at the scabs.  

• If you experience itching, this is completely normal. Gently tap your finger over the area to alleviate itching, but do not scratch.  

• It is normal for scabs to come off when applying the aftercare products or cleansing the area. 

​​

After the 14 days are complete, discontinue all aftercare.  

It is important to return to your regular skin routine after the 14 days are complete.  

If any of the aftercare products cause irritation or sensitivity, please discontinue use immediately and contact me via email. 

What To Expect When Healing 

​

Day 1: Swelling, Tenderness & Redness 

Immediately after your appointment the area may appear slightly irritated, swollen or red. Over the next couple of hours as the numbing wears off, the area may begin to feel tender, Similar to the feeling of a sunburn or cat scratch. This feeling will subside within 4-12hrs. 

​

Day 2-4: Darkening & Solidifying Around day two, your skin will begin to appear darker and more solid due to oxidization of the skin. The skin will continue to darken until day 4. It is important not to panic, as this is part of the scabbing process.  

You may also experience itching of the area during this time. To relieve the itching, tapping over the area is okay, but do not scratch! 

​

Day 5-10: Flaking or Scabbing 

Around day 5 your skin will begin the scabbing phase. The scabbing my look varying colours of red or pink, as well as whatever colours of tattoo pigment or ink that we are attempting to remove. The skin may look pink or red underneath where the scabbing lifts. This is normal. It is okay for the scabs to come off when rinsing the skin, but it is important to never pick or pull at them. 

​

Day 10 - 14: Skin may appear darker, red, pink or light depending on sessions required 

Around day 10 to 14 the scabbing will be complete. Once all of the scabbing has lifted off, it is normal for the skin to look quite light, or be darker or red in colour. This is because even though the surface of the skin is healed, the opacity of the skin is not. If we are removing colour that is deep within the skin, it may appear darker as it is pulled to the surface through multiple sessions, but will be lightening more with each additional session. Our lighting technique involves osmosis, meaning we are slowly working the pigment or ink upwards and out of the skin through multiple sessions. Each client's healing process and results will vary.
