Do not touch the treatment area with unwashed hands as they may contain bacteria resulting in an infection. Do not use products that contain AHA’s on the treatment area as they will fade your pigment. Discontinue the use of Rogaine as well as Head and Shoulders as it contains a harsh agents that can dry the scalp.
DAY 1-4
Avoid touching, showering, or shaving the treatment area. Avoid any physical contact activities that may cause excessive perspiration. Refrain from washing your head and getting it wet.
DAY 5-7
Wash your head gently with cold water and a gentle baby shampoo (Aveeno has a good one). With clean hands, apply a moisturizer 3x day to prevent the skin from drying out. We recommend using a non-perfumed baby moisturizer (Aveeno has a good one). You may resume activities where you may lightly perspire. You may lift light weights, but avoid intense cardio.
DAY 7 ONWARD
Resume normal activities, and you may shave your head again if you wish. However, everyone heals differently. If you notice that you are still healing from your treatment, please wait until fully healed before shaving.
DAY 30 AND AFTER
All regular activities are now permitted, swimming, saunas, and exercise. A quality, 30-50 SPF sunscreen is HIGHLY recommended when you will be exposed to the sun. Wearing hats are also strongly recommended sunscreen is unavailable. Sunlight can expedite the fading process of the treatment, needing touch up treatment sessions sooner.
MOISTURIZING
It’s recommended that you moisturize daily with a light, all natural/organic lotion.
