Aftercare

Pre-Procedure Guidelines:

• Please refrain from taking blood thinners such as aspirin (consult your doctor if you take aspirin for medical reasons), as well as vitamins C and alcohol for 48 to 72 hours prior to your procedure. Avoid caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Post-Procedure Care: During the healing process, which lasts approximately 10 days, please adhere to the following restrictions:

• No Sun Exposure: Avoid suntanning to protect the healing area.
• Do Not Pick: Refrain from picking at the skin to ensure proper healing.
• Avoid Cosmetics: Do not apply makeup, lotions, or moisturizers on the treated area.
• Keep Dry: Avoid getting the area wet. If it does get wet, gently pat dry—do not rub!
• No Swimming: Stay out of pools and salt water until the area is fully healed, as salt water can affect fading.
• Gentle Touch: Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the area for one month post-procedure.
• Clean Hands Only: Touch the area only with clean hands to minimize the risk of infection.
• Limit Sweating: Refrain from vigorous workouts that induce sweating for the next 10 days.

You may notice that the permanent makeup becomes progressively darker from day one until peeling occurs, typically around day 5 or 6. Please do not pick at any flaking scabs. Full peeling generally completes by day 10.

After peeling, the color may appear lighter, as it hasn’t fully settled yet. Expect it to take about a month for the colour to reach its true depth. If you notice any light areas, don’t worry—these will be addressed during your touch-up session. Once the area has healed, applying sunscreen is highly recommended to prevent fading.

Results and Healing: Please note that results and healing times can vary from person to person, influenced by skin type, health, hormones, and various other factors. Permanent makeup can last up to three years.

Follow-Up Appointment: You should schedule a touch-up appointment 6 to 12 weeks after the initial procedure. During this visit, we can assess whether any adjustments in color or volume are needed.
