Post-procedure care after micropigmentation is essential to ensure optimal and long-lasting results. Here I share a complete guide to caring for your skin during the healing process.
First 24-48 hours
During the first hours after the procedure:
- Keep the area clean but avoid wetting it directly
- Do not touch the treated area with your hands
- Apply the recommended ointment as directed
- Avoid makeup on the area
First week
What to expect
It is normal to experience:
- Slight swelling
- Redness
- Tightness sensation
- Formation of thin scabs
What to avoid
- Direct sun exposure
- Pools, saunas and hot tubs
- Intense exercise causing excessive sweating
- Scratching or picking at scabs
Second to fourth week
During this period:
- The skin will begin to regenerate
- Colors may appear lighter temporarily
- Scabs will fall off naturally
- The final color will stabilize
