After Care
In order to achieve the best results from your permanent makeup application the proper aftercare is essential. Please ensure you follow the below guidance and should you have any questions or concerns during the healing process or about your treatment do not hesitate to contact me.
For the first day
Please remember the colour is up to 50% darker immediately after your treatment. It will start to become lighter 4-7 days after. The true healed colour will not come through until approximately 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment.
You may experience the following for 72 hours
Ice packs protected with a cloth may be applied as necessary to reduce swelling.
Daily Aftercare routine
Follow this routine for at least 1 week after your treatment or until healed.
IMPORTANT IMFORMATION
During the healing process, the colour may seem to have disappeared as it is obstructed by the healing layers of skin. Under NO circumstances should you have any further permanent cosmetic work during this 4-6 week period.

- Apply moisturising balm a minimum of 3 times daily, using a cotton bud. Wash hands before and after application and use a clean cotton bud each time to avoid infection
- Use a gentle facial cleanser to clean the face during the healing period.

- Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR SCRATCH the treated area or the colour may heal unevenly and you risk scarring and infection. Allow the wound to flake on its own.

- Do not apply Vaseline type ointments to the area for 1 week after the treatment. after this time, ointments of this type can be applied and are recommended if you plan to use chlorinated pools and Jacuzzis.
