CURACARE AFTERCARE

General aftercare indicates that for the first 48 hours for all procedures please restrict physical activity, avoid being submersed in water such as when bathing or recreational water activities.  Avoid gardening and contact with animals.

CRITICAL - The First 24 hours are about preventing infection. The procedure area should be protected using a barrier ointment and dressing as recommended by your technician. 

Every 4 hours, the treatment area cleaned delicately with lukewarm water and blotted dry with a non-fibrous towel. Ointment and fresh dressing to be reapplied. Do not swim, do not be in direct sun, do not exercise or perspire. Avoid drinking alcohol. 

Days 1–7: Immediate Aftercare

• Do not swim, submerse in water, sweat or steam the treated area.
• No touching or picking: Any scabbing should flake off naturally to prevent pigment loss or scarring.
• Apply ointment: Use a technician-recommended healing balm sparingly, usually 1–2 times daily.
• Avoid other product: Keep perfumes, skin treatments, creams and other topical products away from the treated area until fully healed.

Weeks 2–4: Ongoing Care

• Skip exfoliants: No scrubs, retinol, or acids near the brows.
• Protect from sun: Use a hat or gentle SPF once skin is healed to prevent fading.
• Expect fading: Color may lighten and soften—this is normal.
• Touch-up ready: Schedule your follow-up around weeks 4-6 to refine as needed.
