Your pre care is an important step in achieving the desired healed results. As we are working with living tissue, ensuring the skin is in optimum condition is vital to our results:

EYEBROWS:

1. Ensure tinting/waxing/threading is carried out at least 1 week prior to appointment.

2. Drink plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your appointment, hydration is key for skin healing.

3. Avoid any retinols around the brow area for a minimum of 8-12 weeks.

4. Start gently exfoliating any dead skin cells 1-2 weeks before treatment and moisturise the area twice a day.

EYELINER:

1. Lash serums must not be used for a minimum of 2 months before treatment.

2. Please arrive with no eye make-up on.

3. Drink plenty of water 1-2 weeks before treatment to ensure skin is hydrated.

4. Please avoid retinols around the area for 8-12 weeks

5. Lash extensions must be removed a week before treatment.

6. Please remove contact lenses before treatment begins.

LIPS:

1. Use a gentle lip scrub 1-2 weeks before appointment and keep lip well moisturised with a good lip balm (avoid Vaseline)

2. Drink plenty of water 1-2 weeks before appointment.

3. Please avoid retinols around the area for a minimum of 4 weeks before treatment.

4. Fillers are recommended to be completed at least 4 weeks before treatment or after the full treatment is completed.

Aftercare is key to the healing of your permanent makeup and must be strictly followed. If you pick at them you will lose colour and will be liable to pay for additional retouches. (Yes we can tell!)

You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is normal and will subside within a few hours.

You may get some swelling, this is normal and should subside within 2 days.

In some cases there may be slight bruising. This should last no longer than 1 week.

Remember your colour will be darker and more prominent for 5-7 days on average.

Avoid any sauna/swimming/heavy exercise & sun exposure until the area has completely healed.

For the first 6 hours post treatment, keep the area completely clean and dry. Do not apply anything other than your given aftercare to clean.

AVOID anything in the treated area, including make up for 7-10 days, apart from your given aftercare.

EYEBROWS:

After the first 5-6 hours, gently wipe the area clean with a clean cotton pad and cooled, boiled water to remove any lymph, apply a small layer of your aftercare balm with a clean cotton bud if they feel tight. Don’t over saturate the area, repeat this morning and night also or if they feel sore or tight during the day.

EYELINER:

After the first 6 hours, gently pat and clean the area with cooled, boiled water and leave to heal. Repeat twice a day until the area has fully healed. Avoid eye makeup until the area has completely healed. If the area feels sore then the given aftercare can be applied.

LIPS:

You can apply aftercare immediately post procedure and throughout the day as needed. Continue to blot the area with a clean cotton pad and cooled boiled water and then apply the given aftercare when your lips feel tight. Apply before eating, drinking and brushing teeth. Avoid any makeup until the area has fully healed.

DO NOT PICK OR PULL AT THE AREA – IT CAN RESULT IN INFECTION OR PIGMENT LOSS

As soon as your procedure is finished your body will start to heal. The skin will close and you may see a thin scab which will protect the area whilst the skin heals. After a few days the scab will start to come away revealing the pigment. You will initially see a lighter hue of implanted colour. This will change and settle over the next 4-6 weeks. In some cases a true healed colour can not be seen for upto 3 months.
