CLIENT AFTERCARE
INSTRUCTIONS
Careful post-treatment aftercare minimises the risk of infection, maximises the amount of pigment removed,
helps prevent scarring, and minimises healing time.
THink recommends moist healing.
Immediately after treatment: Lightly wipe the treatment area with a slightly damp cotton round every 20 minutes for the first hour. After this first hour, apply a thin layer of aftercare and allow any liquid to flow until it stops naturally.
Apply aftercare: Use an occlusive gel (e.g., THink Care & Repair). Wash hands, wipe treatment with a damp cotton round, then apply a thin layer of aftercare using a fresh cotton tip each time. Apply at least morning & night for a week.
Do not touch!: Apart from applying the occlusive gel, avoid touching the area. This includes hands, material or hair.
If a crust or a scab develops: Do not disturb it. Absolutely no picking or rubbing.
Minimise water contact: Avoid getting the area wet for a week (i.e. no swimming, avoid area when cleansing, wash hair with head back). If contact occurs, pat dry with a clean cotton pad.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 48 hours, for best results.
No sweat!: Avoiding sweating for 4 days, ideally up to 7 days (e.g. working out or using saunas). You risk introducing infection causing bacteria into the area.
Cosmetics: Do not apply cosmetics (makeup and skincare) to the treatment area for seven days.
If unsure of these instructions or healing: Contact your technician and seek clarification.
If there is any sign of infection: Contact a doctor and seek medical advice. Advise your technician.
