After the initial procedure, which action should you avoid performing on the treated area?

• A. Apply cosmetics over treatment area
• B. Gently wash the area with mild soap
• C. Keep the area dry and clean
• D. Expose the area to direct sunlight

Answer: (A)

Right after a PMU procedure the skin is healing and delicate. Any product sitting on the surface, like cosmetics, can trap bacteria, cause irritation, and disturb the healing tissue and pigment. This can lead to infection, scabbing, or uneven color as the area recovers. So, cosmetics over the treated area should be avoided during the initial healing period. You should keep the area clean and dry and wash gently with a mild soap if advised, and protect it from direct sunlight to support proper healing.
