Avoid Activities That Cause Pigment Loss

​

For at least 4-6 weeks, avoid:

Swimming pools (chlorine can fade pigment

Hot tubs & saunas (heat and moisture can soften scabs prematurely)
Excessive sweating (sweat contains salt, which can pull pigment from the skin)

  • Keeping the area dry and protected ensures optimal healing and long-term vibrancy.

  • Support Healing with a Healthy Lifestyle

  • Eat a nutrient-rich diet and stay hydrated to promote skin regeneration.

  • Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can slow healing and impact pigment retention.
