  • Essential Aftercare for Your Permanent Cosmetics

    Proper care of your permanent cosmetics following your initial treatment—and during each touch-up session—is crucial for achieving optimal results. This guide provides both general and specific aftercare instructions to ensure your permanent makeup heals beautifully.

    Understanding Your Healing Process

    After your initial procedure and subsequent touch-ups, expect the color of your permanent cosmetics to appear sharper and darker than expected; this is a normal part of the healing process. It’s common to experience moderate swelling, skin irritation, blotchiness, or changes in color intensity, along with some localized discomfort, within the first two to three days.

    Aftercare Instructions: The First Two Weeks

    1. Maintain Cleanliness: In the first two weeks following your treatment, avoid unsanitary and overly moist environments. Change your pillowcase after treatment, and refrain from sleeping on your face or brows to minimize the risk of infection.

    2. Exercise Caution: Avoid strenuous exercise during the first week, as sweat can increase your risk of complications. It's also essential not to apply any makeup on the treated areas during the initial two-week healing period.

    3. Use Recommended Products Only: Steer clear of skin creams, ointments, or lotions not provided or recommended by your technician. Beware of petroleum-based ointments, as they combined with UV exposure may trigger allergic reactions. Additionally, aloe vera products can discolor your permanent cosmetic pigments.

    4. Let Your Skin Heal Naturally: Allow any scabbing, dry skin, or flaking to exfoliate naturally. Picking, rubbing, or touching the area with unwashed hands can lead to scarring, hinder the treatment's effectiveness, and increase your risk of infection. It's important to note that smoking can cause your permanent cosmetics to fade prematurely.

    5. Avoid Troubling Environments: For the first two weeks, stay away from hot tubs, saunas, saltwater, chlorinated pools, and direct shower spray on your permanent cosmetics. Limit shower time to avoid hot water contact and excessive steam. Cover your forehead and eyebrow area with a shower cap while showering for added protection.

    Protect Your Permanent Makeup from Sun Exposure

    For 30 days following your initial permanent cosmetic procedure, it’s vital to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning, as many people underestimate their daily sun exposure. To protect your investment, wear a wide-brimmed hat and/or sunglasses when outdoors.

    Conclusion

    Adhering to these aftercare instructions will help ensure your permanent cosmetics heal properly and maintain their intended appearance. If you have any questions about your aftercare routine, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional guidance.

  • Day 1 - Allow the treated area to dry, itching and discomfort is normal.

    Day 2-5 - Twice a day, gently dab the treated area with cotton dipped in clean, cool water and blot dry; apply the healing product in the aftercare package with a cotton-tipped applicator. The pigmented eyebrow area will become obviously darker than your original eyebrow shade and/or the targeted color, this is normal. Swelling, itching and discomfort is normal.

    Day 5-10 - Continue cleaning and applying the recommended healing product twice a day, morning and night. Swelling and discomfort should subside, and scabbing should by now have almost or completely exfoliated naturally.

    Day 14 - Your targeted eyebrow color should settle in, but continue to avoid applying any makeup.

    Day 30-60 - You may resume using makeup and touch-up is highly recommended to achieve the best and longest lasting look.

  • Day 1 - Allow the treated area to dry; swelling, skin irritation and discomfort is normal. Do not scratch or touch the pigmented area with your bare hands.

    The suggestive time-line above may vary between people as everyone's skin is different.

    Touch-ups are essential for monitoring and adjusting the healing of your permanent cosmetic, as well as assuring their longevity, and the color will soften within two weeks of each treatment. While touch-ups are recommended every one to three months, this will vary depending on your targeted color, type of skin, type of skin care products used, and your amount of sun exposure.

  • Day 1 - Your lips may feel dry and taut; treat them with the healing product in the aftercare package for moisturizing. Frequently dab the treated area with cotton dipped in clean, cool water and blot dry, and apply the recommended healing product with a cotton-tipped applicator. We recommend drinking through a straw, avoiding hot and/or spicy food, and keeping food and toothpaste from touching your lips for the first two days. Movement of your lips is encouraged to decrease numbness; oozing, discomfort, and swelling is normal.

    Day 2-5 - Continue cleaning and applying the recommended healing product. Swelling and discomfort should subside; allow your lips to peel and exfoliate naturally.

    Day 7-15 - Your lips’ color will become darker and bruised-looking; this is normal.

    Day 30-45 - Your lips’ color will become bright and shiny. Scabs should now be completely exfoliated naturally and your lips will be smooth.

    Day 45-60 - Your lips’ targeted color should settle in and touchup is recommended to achieve the best and longest lasting look. Make an appointment with us for checkup or touchup to ensure the best and longest lasting result.

    Once healed, you should always protect your permanent cosmetic with a good sunscreen; prolonged UV exposure will cause fading. Indefinitely avoid using Retin A or Alpha Hydroxy solutions or creams. All permanent cosmetics appear more vibrant with moistened with emollient products.
