permanent makeup aftercare

Proper aftercare is key to achieving the best results from your permanent makeup treatment. Following the right steps of permanent makeup aftercare will help with healing, colour retention, and long-lasting results. Here’s everything you need to know to take care of your treated area in the days and weeks after your treatment.

permanent makeup aftercare: Brows

Love your new brows? Follow this advice to get the best from them!

The aftercare following your procedure is extremely important. To achieve the best results from your treatment you must follow the aftercare, if this is compromised in any way it will affect your healed result.

Keep in mind that in many cases some unevenness of colour is to be expected; this is the purpose of the top up visit.

Included in your initial treatment price is one retouch only. Any additional re-touches after this will be charged at a fee of £75 within the first 7 months from your original first treatment date.

It’s normal to experience the following for up to 72 hours after your treatment: Tenderness, Redness, Puffiness and the Oozing of clear lymphatic fluid.

important Brow Aftercare RULES

NO sweating (avoid vigorous exercise)

NO swimming

NO facial massage or facial treatments

NO sun exposure (sunbeds or sunbathing)

NO saunas / steam / hot baths

NO direct shower spray

NO make up or products applied to the direct area (apart from the aftercare products I’ve given you)

DON’T pick the scab when it forms or touch the area

DON’T get the area wet, if you do, pat dry gently with a clean tissue

DO use the post procedure products as advised and provided by myself

Brow Aftercare: Please Refer To The Healing Timeline And Don’t Panic!

Day 1 – (Your brows may be tender and red) Clean your brows roughly every hour with cooled boiled water on a cotton wool pad and apply the aloe vera gel provided. Do this again last thing before bed.

Day 2 – Repeat the above steps 2 to 3 times today.

Day 3-14 – Clean your brows as before, morning & evening and then apply the ink of Coco healing balm (grain of rice size).

After the 2-week healing period you can now wash your brows as normal but I recommend you still treat the area gently and avoid any harsh products.

Remember your brows may still be a little patchy & uneven at this stage.

Any corrections will be made at your top-up session.

permanent makeup aftercare: Lip Blush

Love your new lips? Follow this advice to get the best from them!

Its normal for your freshly blushed lips to feel a little tender & for some swelling to be present.

This will normally settle within the first 24 hours.

After the 2 week healing period please keep your lips moisturised and protected from sun exposure by using a lip balm with sunscreen in.

important lip blush Aftercare RULES

Your lips will feel very dry and may be slightly flaky normally around day 3. 

DO NOT PULL OFF ANY DRY SKIN FLAKES as this may cause the pigment to heal patchy.

Remember your lips will look much darker/brighter at first and then they will go much lighter around end of week 1. 

The true colour result will be seen by week 4.

You may or may not decide on a top up depending on what result you want to achieve.
