TATTOO HEALING WITH ULTRADERM
This progressive solution eliminates any need for lotions and ointments by locking in the body’s natural fluids and enzymes to keep the skin moist. The bandage has a breathable, gas permeable design that allows the skin to get the oxygen it needs to heal while still protecting it from water, dirt, germs, and friction. This reduces scabbing and allows the skin to heal efficiently and naturally without any interferences. The Ultraderm bandage is incredibly light and flexible. It will stay adhered to your body while providing full range of motion, whether you need to shower, want to work out, or tend to toss and turn in bed.
By providing this level of protection, dramatically reduces overall healing time, scabbing, fading, itching, and pain. Clients have found that their healed tattoo colors remain more vibrant.
WHAT TO DO
1. Leave bandage on for 7 days. If the edges roll up trim them with scissors.
2. Keep new tattoo out of sun for 2 weeks.
3. Do not soak your tattoo. No bathtubs, pools, jacuzzis, river or ocean water until tattoo is healed.
4. To remove second skin, use cool clean water and mild antibacterial soap. Gently pull off. After removal of second skin, wash area with water and antibacterial soap, pat dry and apply thin layer of light, non-scented lotion. We recommend Hustle Butter.
