Aftercare

Your permanent makeup will appear darker and more defined for the first few days. As your skin heals, it will soften and lighten - this is normal.

Key rules while healing (first 7–10 days):

• Keep the area clean, dry and gently moisturised.
• No heavy sweating, swimming, saunas, or steam rooms.
• No makeup on the treated area.
• Do not pick, rub or scratch - this can cause patchiness and pigment loss.
• Avoid strong skincare ingredients (AHA/BHA, retinol, exfoliants) near the area.
• Avoid direct sunlight and sunbeds for 14 days.

A follow-up appointment is recommended at 6–8 weeks to perfect the healed result.

BROWS

• Blot brows for the first few hours.
• Cleanse once around 6 hours post-treatment using mild soap and water.
• Apply a thin layer of aftercare balm with clean hands/cotton bud.
• Continue balm as needed for the next few days.
• Expect: darker colour, flaking, lightening.

LIPS

• Cleanse 6 hours after treatment, then apply balm. Repeat the next morning.
• Balm regularly to prevent dryness.
• Avoid hot drinks, spicy food, kissing, and tanning.
• Expect: swelling, tightness, flaking, colour fading before it brightens again.

Cold sore history? Use antiviral cream (e.g., Zovirax) for 14 days post-treatment.

EYELINER

• Gently wipe with a damp cotton pad for the first 6 hours.
• Apply a thin layer of aftercare balm for up to 7 days (if advised).
• No contacts or eye makeup for 7 days.
• No lash serums, lash lifts, or false lashes for 14 days.

NORMAL HEALING SIGNS

• Redness, tenderness, swelling
• Flaking or tiny pigment “specks”
• Colour softening/lightening

Seek advice if:

• Yellow/green discharge, increasing redness, or strong irritation

FINAL NOTE

Healing takes up to 30 days, colour settles gradually, and a touch-up is part of the process.
