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.

DAY 1

OMG MY NEW BROWS ARE PERFECTION!

(Takes 129748 selfies)

DAY 2-4

AGHHH MY BROWS ARE SO DARK!

After 48hrs & staring at your new brows.

DAY 5-10

EWWWW

they are flaking…what is happening!

DAY 10+

WHAT HAPPENED

They’re way too light now.

2 WEEKS

MY BROWS ARE BACK!

Feeling like a QUEEN because my brows are so on point.

AFTER TOUCH UP

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.

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

For the next 24hrs…
Avoid

hot drinks

Avoid

spicy, salty & sharp food

Drink

through a straw until your lips feel less tender

Avoid

any pressure on your lips

Apply

your aftercare balm regularly

Had the colour boost on my brows done last week and Carly has done a fantastic job again. Carly takes the time to go through the options and gives great recommendations and advice.

Amazing PMU artist, wouldn't trust anyone else but Carly, she is an absolute wizard with brows, had mine done at a previous salon and wasn't happy, Carly soon sorted them out for me and I absolutely love them now. If you are thinking of PMU or microblading, look no further, contact Carly and let her weave her magic and guide you through the process, you definitely won't regret it 🖒😀

Carly is fantastic, she really takes time and care to give you the best results for you. I was initially a little worried about having my eyebrows tattooed but the end results were fantastic and really gave me my confidence back ! Can highly recommend.

I’d contemplated PMU for my brows for years before I found Carly on Instagram and decided to take the plunge. I am SO pleased I did. Carly is a true artist, and the loveliest person, and put me at ease from my first consultation and through both my brow appointments. My hairstroke brows look exactly how I hoped they would look - subtle and completely natural. People don’t believe they’re tattooed which is the perfect outcome for me. I can’t thank, or recommend, Carly enough - she is incredible.

I cannot recommend Carly enough...I over plucked my brows back in the 90's when it was trendy to have a thin brow and they never grew back since. After 20 years of hating my brows and having no confidence without (badly) pencilled in brows I now have brows that I absolutely love thanks to Carly. She is so professional and so skilled, put me totally at ease right from my first conversation with her. For my first 'tattoo' to be on my face I was definitely nervous but she took away any worries and concerns with her calm and professional nature. Please don't hesitate about contacting Carly if you are considering permanent make up, it is the best thing I ever did and well worth the 2 and a half hour journey. She is just the best! I just wish I had gone to her years earlier!

I’ve been thinking about having my brows done for a while and decided now was the right time. After a quick google search I found Carly. She had fantastic reviews so I knew I didn’t need to look any further. I had a lovely experience from start to finish. Carly was warm and friendly and made me feel at ease from the first consultation in her lovely salon, where she talked me through everything I needed to know. We decided to go for combination brows. Carly was fantastic and consulted me every step of the way, creating some lovely brows. We had a lovely chat throughout the process, providing a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend going to Carly and I’m very much looking forward to my colour boost appointment in a year or so. Thanks Carly, you’ve been fantastic! X

Fantastic experience getting my eyebrows done with Carly. Excellent pre-appointment to go through everything. Talked through every step and really took the time to see what I wanted. Gave great advice based on my hair and skin colour and skin type. Delighted with the results. Update! I have been back for my top up session today (13 August). Carly looked carefully at how my brows had healed and advised how to make them even better. A slightly darker pigment was used. Over the moon with the results 💕
