After Care Treatment for Permanent Make-Up

Proper care for your Permanent Makeup is vital.
Follow the general instructions then the steps for the particular procedure you have received.

Symptoms Experienced During Healing:

Minor redness, bruising, swelling and tenderness are symptoms to be expected immediately after treatment.

 Dry flaking and mild itching as the treated area heals could be experienced

 Crusting may also be experienced.
These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process. The length of time the above that symptoms take to settle varies from one person to another.

Hygiene Instructions:

Prevent Cross - Contamination

Wash your hands before applying your healing product. 

Use a cotton bud to apply the healing product. Do not return the cotton bud back into the healing product once it has been in contact with the injured skin. Use a clean bud each time you apply the product. 

Do not use facial cleanser on the treated area until it has healed.

 Do not PICK, PEEL OR RUB any dry flaking skin or crusting of the treated area as this could encourage the risk of infection or scarring of the skin.

Allow the skin to heal in its own time with the assistance of the healing product.

 Do not touch the treated area with your hands

.  Do not use make-up near the area for at least 3 days

 Do not receive skin-care or beauty treatments until the skin has healed.

General care after Permanent Makeup procedures:

The average healing time for most skins can range from 5 to 14 days

 Do not expose treated skin to sunlight, tanning treatments, jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools, direct shower spray.

 Do not receive bleaching treatments, waxing treatments, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to the treated area.

 Do not ever use Retin-A, Vitamin C or products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids as these products will fade the pigment colour.

 Do not use Antibiotics on pigmented skin. Antibiotics cause a severe allergic–like reaction

 Do not exercise for the first 3 days as sweating can affect the healing of the pigment.

Eyebrows

For the first 12 hours after the treatment, wipe the brows with a wet cotton wool pads to remove body fluids as they appear. 
 Use a clean pad for each brow to prevent cross– contamination.  Pat the area dry with a clean tissue then apply the antiseptic healing product with a cotton bud. Reapply healing product 2-3 times daily during healing process.  Towards the end of the healing process apply only once or twice a day.  Please follow Hygiene and General instructions

Eye-Lining

Rinse your eyes after treatment with cold water as often as you deem necessary. 
Instead of rinsing you may place wet cotton-pads in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes and place on the eyelids to reduce swelling. 
Do not put pads in the freezer as they could burn the tender skin around the eyes.
 Use eye drops as often as you wish after treatment to sooth

 
 
Remember, your selected brow colour will be stronger and more sharply defined for 10-14 days after treatment. As the healing process proceeds the colour will soften and lighten.
 
 
 

Lip Procedure

Wet cotton pads cooled in the fridge for 15 minutes will help to reduce the swelling.  If there is a history of cold sores or fever blisters, use Zovirax cream immediately after treatment for the next 3-4 days. Apply at least three times per day, with a cotton bud.  Then use Antiseptic product as discussed with your technician.  For full lip procedure, do not use lipstick until lips are completely healed.  Healing time for full lip procedure could take up to two full weeks or longer to heal.  Wipe the lipstick before applying to the lips to remove any stale residue. This will help eliminate the risk of cross- contamination.  It may be necessary to drink through a straw after treatment.  No kissing for five days to prevent infection.

Follow-Up Procedure:

The follow up procedure appointment is an important step in the whole Permanent Makeup procedure. Some unevenness of the colour can be experienced after healing is completed. This can be corrected at the follow-up visit. 
You must complete your follow up procedure within 3 months from your first treatment. Any additional add-on required or colour change needed can be achieved at the follow-up appointment.
