After Care
The next 14 days matter most.
How you heal will define how your pigment looks for the next 2–3 years.
Day 1–3
Gentle Care
Blot the area every 1–2 hours with a clean tissue. Apply the provided healing balm in a thin layer 2–3 times daily. Sleep on your back if possible.
Day 4–7
Light Flaking
Color will appear darker, then begin to flake naturally. Do not pick, peel, or scratch. Continue balm only when the area feels tight.
Day 8–14
Settling
Color may look faded — this is normal. Pigment is settling into the skin and true color will emerge by week 6.
Always
Long-Term
Daily SPF 30+ is non-negotiable. Sun is the #1 cause of premature fading. Avoid retinol and exfoliants directly on the area.
