PMU/TATTOO AFTERCARE

For Permanent Makeup, healing process is very important and might make you very emotional as well. If you notice something that you may concern, please reach me out and DO NOT PANIC! That is why touch up is MANDATORY to complete your brows. It is pretty common that some spots (especially inner, arch, and tails) lose color because the skin heal very differently. We will be able to correct at the touch up appointment.

 

What to expect during Healing process:

​

Day of the procedure

The area you got work done will be red and tender. 
It’s an adjustment for you to get used to your new brows!

Although I won’t tattoo on your face unless I’ll get full approval

from you, it is a BIG change for your face. At this point,

they are dark and big. But remember, the color usually

fade by 30-40% and overall shape will shrink by 10%.

 

Day 1 - 3 

Okay, so they will be even more DARKER! Imagine you cut yourself. Once you get freshly cut, your wound is bright pink. Then the wound start dry out and get darker color right? Same thing! Once the pigment get dried, the color get darker! Like much darker. PLEASE KNOW THIS!. You will start putting healing cream that I’ll provide.

 

Day 5 - Day 14

Alright, here is comes. The SCABBING and ITCHING! You’ll be like "What is happening"! Whatever it is happening, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR BROWS! Picking the scab or itching will cause loss of pigment. If this happen, I’ll take longer time to work on your brows and have to charge you accordingly. Leave your brows alone and trust the healing process. Some take 5 days to scabbed off, some are 14+ days depending on your skin type.

 

After all scabs are off NATURALLY, the pigment you will see is a lot lighter than Day 1. You might be like

"Uh-oh.  where they go?". Don’t worry, the color will come back a bit after couple days. At this point, you can start wearing your skincare or makeup.
.
.
The skin will take 6-8 weeks to completely heal. This is why you will need to wait to get touched up 6-8 weeks after initial appointment. Some color loss is normal. I will fix on your touch up appointment. Some minor changes are able to fix on touch up day as well!

Basic Aftercare for Ombre Powder Brows

​

There will be a little tenderness and possibly, redness. You may also experience a white halo surrounding the area. It is from the anesthetic that was used and will be gone in an hour or so. When the exfoliation begins, remember not to pick, as this will remove your color. Avoid all topical makeup on the procedure area. This includes gels, powders and pencils. Use a clean q-tip to apply your ointment. If you see some dark pieces of pigment, do not be alarmed. This is the process of exfoliating and is totally natural.

​

Absorb (Day of)

After the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid.

Do this every 5 minutes until the oozing has stopped.

Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

​

Wash (Days 1-7)

• Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

• Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented cleanser like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or baby shampoo. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.

• Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

​​

Moisturize and hydrate (Days 1-7)

• Apply a tiny, rice grain amount of healing cream which I provide 2 times a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area.

• Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The product should be barely noticeable on the skin.

NEVER put the product on a wet or damp tattoo.

​

​

Failure to do so may affect results.

GENERAL AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL PERMANENT MAKEUP APPLICATIONS FOR 7-14 DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE

​

• Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers. They may have bacteria on them and create an infection. Always use a clean cotton swab or Q-Tip. Apply ointment that is provided once per day for 7 days or untill all scabbing is gone.

• The procedure may have some peeling on or around the third day. This is a normal part of healing on some clients. The lip procedure generally will have the most peeling. DO NOT PICK! Picking can result in scarring and loss of color.

• Do not apply makeup over healing areas. No tinting of lashes or brows. Avoid sun, tanning, saunas, and swimming (including chlorinated pools or jacuzzis, the ocean, or recreational bodies of water), contact with animals or gardening for 7 to 10 days after the procedure(s).

• Do not rub or traumatize the procedure area while it is healing (pigment might be removed along with the crusting tissue)

. • Use a broad spectrum sunblock after area has healed to slow fading.

• Do not use products containing AHA’s on or near pigmented areas including glycolic or lactic acids or Retinol-A products (they will fade the color).

• Avoid products containing Aloe Vera or vitamin E during the healing time.

• Do not donate blood for one year after the procedure, per the Red Cross.

• Follow up appointments should be scheduled between 6 to 8 weeks after the initial procedure. Permanent Makeup procedures are a two step process and final results are sometimes not determined until the follow up visit is completed. Do not judge your procedure while it is in the healing process as it may require a follow up.

• If you experience excessive itching, swelling, blistering, or other complications post procedure, stop using the aftercare product and call your technician immediately. You may be allergic to the aftercare product.

• If you have excessive redness, swelling or tenderness or any red streaks going from the procedure area to the heart, elevated temperature, or excessive drainage contact your physician and your technician as the area may be infected.
