The entire healing process may take 4-6 weeks, this is dependent on several factors, including your age, new cell reproduction and healing. There are several phases in the healing process, it is important to be patient until they are fully healed. The pigment may appear unnatural or very intense immediately after your treatment. Once completely healed you should ensure you wear SPF suncream. We recommend SPF 50, however SPF 30 should be worn at a minimum. Sun exposure can cause the pigment to fade in colour and intensity at a greater speed.
