The result of the procedure is determined by the following.

 

1. Medication

2. Skin Characteristics (dry, oily, sun damaged and thickness)

3. Natural skin undertones (blending with chosen pigment)

4. Personal pH balance of skin, which changes from visit to visit

5. Alcohol intake or smoking 

6. Post-operative care treatment

 

Upon completion of the procedure there may be swelling and redness of the skin, which will subside in between one to four days. In some cases bruising can occur. Clients may resume normal activities immediately following the procedure, however, using cosmetics, excessive perspiration and exposure to the sun on the affected area should be limited. See specific post- procedure instructions for details. Clients can however, be assured that the procedure, even after one treatment, appears acceptable and that they can appear in public without additional makeup on the affected area.
