WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE?
Typical swelling, redness, and minor blistering will occur. The treated area may scab as the body works to eliminate the permanent ink (please do not pick the scab). At first, the skin will be very sensitive and tender. Discomfort may be relieved by taking an over the counter pain reliever or by using ice packs in 20-30 minute intervals. Apply Aquaphor ointment to wound area 2-3 times a day. Keep the area moist, and let the scab fall off on its own. Cover the treated area with a nonstick Telfa gauze pad (after Aquaphor is applied) until the wound is healed.
These reactions to the treatment will typically fade within 2 weeks.
