Recommended Aftercare Tips to achieve the best results possible:

• Within 2 hours after the procedure, clean treated area using a q-tip and lightly moisten with distilled or cooled down boiling water. Gently wipe away the old healing balm and any lymphatic liquid (clear yellowish liquid) that may have built up. Lightly pat dry with tissue and using the spatula, re-apply healing balm to the treated area.
• Make sure to apply a light layer of healing balm morning and night to treated area for at least 5-7 days. Do not over apply healing balm as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing.
• Do not immerse the treated area in water for 14 days. When showering, make sure to avoid treated area.
• Do not put any product on the treated area for a minimum of 10 days. Treated area is an open wound, using makeup may cause infections.
• Avoid alcohol and aspirin/ibuprofen and any vitamins that may thin your blood for 24 hours post treatment.
• Treated area will feel slightly itchy as it heals and will start to lightly scab over. Do not peel or pick at the scabs as this can affect the outcome and pigmentation.
• Avoid sweating, swimming, tanning, sunbeds or going into saunas for at least 14 days.
• Avoid botox, fillers, face scrubs or chemical peels for at least 2 weeks.
