Aftercare
IT IS CRITICAL TO FOLLOW ALL AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS, SCARRING AND TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM RESULTS.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
1. KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air for 20 minutes, cover with a Non-Stick Band-Aid. Remove Bandage in 45 Minutes and leave open to air. Air/oxygen provides good and faster healing. You should not be touching the area at all but if you find yourself needing to please make sure your hands are exceptionally clean.
2. DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal but keep the area out of the shower spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few seconds. NO Soaking in water or the scab will get destroyed.
3. NO BATHING UNDER THE WATER, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TUBS, TANNING, OR INTENSE EXERCISE.
4. DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process (i.e. no picking, scratching, etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab off, you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring.
5. TREAT AREA WITH TLC. The edges can be wiped clean from any dripping blood just after the procedure with alcohol pads, the site should be left alone and not get wet for 24 hours. Once the scab is formed bathing is normal but wash the area gently with the fingers and soap and rinse. Keep the area clean and absolutely no creams, nothing applied leave it alone. if it itches and it is a safe area other than around the eyes dab with a little alcohol.
6. ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF, apply one drop APO Aftercare three times per 6 day throughout the day, every day, for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening/removal session, DO NOT start applying the Vitamin E oil UNTIL all scabbing has completely fallen off and you are completely healed. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off.
7. LIPS Liner or outside the vermillion boarder please drink all liquids with a straw until all scabbing has naturally fallen off. (NO LIP TISSUE SHOULD HAVE REMOVAL)
- No whitening or peroxide toothpastes. Cut food into small bite. No biting into a sandwich.
- Try to keep mouth expressions to a minimum. It is important to the process and the integrity of the skin, that 4 full weeks of healing take place before another lightening session can be done.
- No exceptions! Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a long process and patience is required.
