First 48 Hours
- Any redness surrounding the area will subside in 1-2 hours post treatment
- The treated area must be allowed to dry fully in the next 48 hours, failure to do so will effect results
- DO not touch the area for 48 ours, if you must then use clean and dry hands
- DO not get the area wet or sweaty for 48 hours
- DO NOT use any aftercare products
After 48 hours;
- The treated area is now very dry and a light scab will have formed
- You may see pigment visible in the scab
- Apply ONE SINGLE APPLICATION of Cavilon cream to the treated area and slightly surrounding area, this will leave a soft thin film that lasts 3-4 days to make the area more comfortable.
- DO NOT get the area wet or sweaty, avoid hot baths, saunas etc
- If you do get the area wet slightly in the shower use a clean dry tissue and blot till dry again.
- Avoid rubbing/touching the area
- Depending on the area treated the scabs will remain attached for 5-14 days
- Excesive movements are going to cause the scabs to crack which is not ideal for easy healing
- DO NOT attempt or PICK at the scabs to remove, they must naturally heal away from the skin
- Scabs can be held in eyebrow hairs when removed from the skin so they can be GENTLY removed.
- DO NOT PICK AT ANY SCABS this will cause unwanted results
*** SKIN PRONE TO HYPERPIGMENTATION***
- Follow the first 48 hours aftercare
- After the 48 hours the skin MUST NOT be allowed to dry out
- Apply the Cavilon cream every 3- 4 days once a day and continue to do so until the skin returns to a normal colour
AFTER THE SKIN HEALS OFF
- THe pigment may look visibily lighter for the first 1- 8 weeks, these are not considered results, this is your pigment and skin settling. True results are shown at 8 weeks.
- Can begin make up if required
- Treat the area gentley no excessive sun exposure or exfoliation
- Treatment cycle is;
First Session
Second Session (after 8 weeks)
Third session if required (after 8 weeks)
All subsequent sessions if required (after 12 weeks)
We leave longer if the skin has not returned to a normal colour
FAILURE TO FOLLOW AFTER GUIDELINES MAY REDUCE THE EFFECT OF THE TREATMENT AND MAY RESULT IN UNWANTED PROBLEMS SUCH AS HYPERPIGMENTATION< SCARRING OR INFECTION. IF INFECTION DOES OCCUR THE YVETTE CLINIC CANNOT GIVE MEDICAL ADVICE PLEASE CONTACT YOUR GP.
