After Care
Eyebrow After Care:
Post Procedure information for lips:
- Continue taking the antiviral prescribed medication from your doctor
or dentist if you have a history of cold sores.
- It is normal for your lips to be extremely bright and swollen after
your appointments.
- Gently apply Vaseline unto your lips several times a day until they
completely exfoliate.
- Your lips will exfoliate in approximately 4 days, resulting in a
soft natural color. The color may seem to have completely disappeared.
After 3-4 weeks you will notice the color reappearing. It takes at
least two applications of pigment to achieve optimal color; a "lipstick
look" cannot realistically be achieved.
- Do not apply lipstick for one week after procedure.
- Lips tend to be extremely dry for a few weeks after procedure. Chap
stick or a lip moisturizer with a sunscreen will help your lips to
feel moist during this healing period.
- Avoid hot tubs, chlorinated swimming pools, and tanning booths for
one week.
- Sun damage, scar tissue, cold sores, dense lip tissue and a history
of smoking may limit the amount of color your lips will take. Some
clients obtain great color saturation, and others retain little color.
Final results cannot be guaranteed.
Eyeliner After Care:
- At first your eyeliner will appear extremely dark. This is normal. You may lose up to 40% of the color after the 1st appointment. When applied for the first time, eyeliner usually requires two sessions to achieve optimal color.
- Eyes will be tender and swollen for a few days. This is normal and will dissipate in 24-48 hours.
- You may elevate your head and apply cold compresses. This is most effective if done during the first 24 hours.
- Apply a very small amount of Vaseline with a clean Q-tip at least twice a day (morning and night) for 3-4 days. Do not allow eyeliner to dry out for the first 72 hours.
- Be careful not to get Vaseline in your eyes and do not apply Vaseline over tear ducts.
- Itching is also common. Do not scratch or pick as this may cause insufficient pigment to the area.
- Keep eyeliner clean by allowing water to gently flow over them in the shower.
Avoid direct water pressure. You may pat them with a clean cool or warm washcloth.
Do not wash with soap or facial cleanser for 3-4 days, during the healing
period.
- Do not wear contacts, eye shadow or mascara during the healing period of 3-4 days.
- Avoid tanning booths, pools and hot tubs for at least one week after procedure to prevent infection.
Eye Infections:
- Eye infections are not common, but of course they can happen at any time.
- Do not use too much Vaseline! Vaseline acts as a magnet to allergens like smoke, dust, dirt, chemicals and pet dander, which can cause an eye infection. Do not place Vaseline over tear ducts.
- Do not touch your eyes with dirty fingers. Wash hands extremely well or use clean Q-tips!
- If eye irritation occurs, stop using the Vaseline immediately. Clean eyes by washing off Vaseline, and rinse with buffered eyewash. Contact your physician for antibiotic eye drops.
