Please follow aftercare instructions, as failure to do so may result in poor treatment results.
ALWAYS wash hands before touching area.
3D NIPPLE TATTOO:
You may safely keep your Tegaderm bandage on for 3–5 days and shower with it in place. Avoid directing water straight onto the area. When it’s time to remove your bandage, do so gently in the shower by slowly peeling it off.
Once removed, cleanse the area using your fingertips with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. No exfoliation. Pat dry with a clean paper towel—be gentle and avoid rubbing.
Apply a very thin layer of ointment twice daily for two weeks.
SCAR CAMOUFLAGE:
Gently wash the area with your fingertips using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Avoid exfoliating. Pat dry with a clean paper towel—no rubbing.
Apply a very thin layer of ointment twice daily for two weeks.
To enhance healing, a silicone-based topical like Cicaplast B5 Gel is recommended. You can begin using it right away in place of your ointment, or start after two weeks.
No vigorous exercise for 3 days as it can raise your blood pressure and cause more swelling. Sweat will also dilute the pigment.
DO NOT scrub, rub, pick, peel, or scratch treated area. Continue applying ointment.
AVOID direct sun exposure for the first two weeks following your treatment.
DO NOT swim, or get into a hot tub for at least 7 days.
DO NOT expose area to sun or tanning beds because your colour will fade more quickly. If it is difficult to conceal from sun exposure, use sunscreen to protect the pigmented area.
DO NOT get laser treatments on pigmented area as the colour may turn black.
THE KNOWN POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM MICROPIGMENTATION ARE:
Redness, hyperpigmentation, swelling, bruising, dry patches, and tenderness.
Applying cold compresses on the treated area will help reduce swelling and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
EXPECTED CONSIDERATIONS FOLLOWING PROCEDURE:
It is expected to lose approximately 1/3 of color during the healing process.
​
After the initial procedure, it is normal that the colour may appear darker for the following few weeks.
