Aftercare
The Journey After the Treatment
Care, attention and respect for the skin’s natural healing process
The result does not end with the treatment session.
The days that follow are an integral part of the process.
During the first few days, the colour may appear more intense.
This is a normal and temporary phase.
The skin is going through its natural healing process.
What to Expect
- The colour may appear 30–40% darker
- The treated area may appear slightly drier
- Thin flakes may form
Essential Aftercare Instructions
- cleanse the area gently
- avoid touching or rubbing the treated area
- avoid applying products that have not been recommended
- avoid sun exposure, saunas and swimming pools
- do not remove any flakes that may form
The Second Session
Approximately 6–8 weeks later, the refinement session is performed.
This is an integral part of the Method.
Its purpose is to stabilise the colour, refine the intensity and ensure long-term harmony.
What NOT to Do During the Two Weeks Following the First Session
Try Not to Sweat: sweat can soften the pigment and interfere with the healing process. Avoid physical activity and take a break from jogging and the gym (you finally have a good excuse to rest!).
Avoid Long or Very Hot Showers: avoid steam, as it can negatively affect the healing process. For the same reason: avoid sunbeds, saunas and Turkish baths..
Wash your face in sections, using cotton pads, soft sponges or cleansing wipes to rinse the area without allowing your cleanser to come into contact with the eyebrows.
Do Not Use Other Products on the Treated Area: avoid applying makeup, creams, cleansing milk, petroleum jelly or Bepanthenol to the treated area.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to the Sun.
Do Not Touch the Treated Area with Your Hands: use cleansing wipes as previously recommended and, from the third day onwards, apply the product I advised you to use.
Do Not Rub, Scratch or Remove Any Flakes or Scabs.
Do Not Undergo Facial Aesthetic Treatments.
Avoid Swimming in the Sea or in a Pool.
The lips also require the same care and attention, and during the first few days the colour may appear more intense.
After approximately 3 days, these effects will fade and the lips will already be healed. The second session, scheduled 6–8 weeks later, will refine the treatment and perfect the final result.
A Carefully Built Result
The Alessia Di Carlo Method is gradual, safe and controlled.
Every stage, including the period following the treatment, contributes to the quality of the final result.
