Hours 0–24 The protective film
You leave the studio with a second-skin film over the work. Keep it on, untouched, for 24 hours. Behind it the body is producing plasma — that is normal. Do not peel, drain, or wipe.
Days 1–3 First wash and dry
Remove the film under lukewarm running water. Wash gently with fragrance-free pH-neutral soap, no cloth, no rubbing. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Air-dry for ten minutes before applying the recommended healing balm — a thin film, never a thick layer.
Days 4–14 Light peeling
The skin starts to flake like a sunburn. This is the body lifting the surface. Do not scratch, do not pick. Wash twice a day, balm twice a day, and let the flakes fall on their own. Itching is normal — tap, do not scratch.
Weeks 3–6 Deep settling
The piece can look slightly cloudy or matte. The deeper layers are still settling. Keep it moisturized, keep it out of direct sun, and avoid swimming pools, ocean, gym mats, and saunas until fully closed.
A piece that heals well looks alive. A piece that heals badly looks tired. The protocol is simple — follow it, and the work earns the next thirty years.
