inkOUT™ Aftercare: The Healing Guide

Proper aftercare is essential to support optimal healing and treatment outcomes following inkOUT procedures. Adherence to the recommended aftercare protocol supports the skin’s natural recovery process as unwanted pigment is expelled through the skin’s surface. Restoration of normal skin pigmentation and tolerance to sun exposure may take several weeks, depending on individual healing responses and treatment characteristics.

Ongoing Support Throughout the Healing Process

Patient care extends beyond the initial inkOUT treatment. Providers are available to address questions, monitor healing progress, and offer guidance throughout the recovery period. Open communication and adherence to aftercare protocols are essential to supporting proper healing and optimal treatment outcomes.

Post-Treatment Care

Immediate Post-Treatment Care (First Hour)

Step 1:

  • At the end of the treatment day, remove the non-stick gauze applied at treatment.

  • Re-apply the Silver Gel and sterile non adherent gauze.

  • The Silver Gel and gauze will be re-applied daily for two more days.

    NOTE: When treatment is on the face, only apply gauze at night

Step 2:

  • The next day, you may gently wash the treatment area with clean fingertips and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap and immediately pat dry. Do not wipe.

  • Apply a thin layer of the Nano Silver Gel to the treated area.

  • Then apply fresh, clean non adherent gauze. You may shower, but do not let the shower stream directly touch the treatment area.

Step 3:

  • On day 3, stop the Silver Gel; just apply gauze to cover the wound until day 8.

Step 4:

  • Beginning on day 4, apply Aquaphor or Vaseline as often as needed to keep the wound moist and keep covered. Continue this until all scabs fall off.

Step 5:

  • Continue hydration with ointment after the scab falls off and use physical SPF daily until your next treatment.

**IMPORTANT: DO NOT scratch, pick, or rub the treated area. Correct formation of the scab is critical to the success of the process. All scabs must be allowed to fall off naturally.**

  • Do not submerge in water (tubs, pools, lakes, or ocean) for two weeks.

  • Do not sweat for 72 hours after treatment

  • At your four-week follow-up with your technician, they will assess the healing progress and determine when to schedule your next treatment.

CAUTION: Failure to follow these post-treatment instructions will likely reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and potentially cause scarring. Final results are not guaranteed and can only be determined once healing is complete. Healing can take several months. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your technician.

Day 1 Protocol:

  • Leave the non-stick bandage applied by your technician on for exactly 1 hour

  • After 1 hour, remove the non-stick bandage

  • Replace with dry, loose weave gauze (specifically 4x4 surgical sponges)

  • Keep covered with gauze until crusting layer sloughs off

  • Change gauze at least once daily
