  • You are not a candidate for Permanent Makeup if, you have keloid scaring, are pregnant/nursing, or taking certain blood thinners.
  • If you have previous permanent cosmetics in the area you wish to schedule, you must have a consultation before your procedure.
  • It is your responsibility to disclose any concerns regarding pre and post care to ensure the best outcome.

 

Aftercare

  • Following your procedure, expect the color to be sharper, darker, and bolder than the final result. Once you have healed fully, the pigment will look about 20-30% softer and lighter.

  • Expect to see redness and slight swelling around the brow area. Pigment may appear warmer than expected due to red, irritated skin.

 

DAY 1-10

  • A permanent makeup procedure is equivalent to a skin-deep wound – like a scratch you might get around the house. The day of your procedure, expect a small amount of fluid, weeping or blood. Firmly blot brows with a clean gauze or slightly damp paper towel to remove lymph. Excess lymph may dry and forms scabs too early. Blotting typically only needs to be done the day of your visit.

  • Cleanse brows morning and night with mild, gentle cleanser and pat dry or allow to air dry.

  • Apply After Inked supplied with clean q-tip or clean finger on dry skin only. After Inked may be applied several times during the day, however only a THIN layer should be used at any time. You may need to apply once a day, and you many need to apply 3-4 times a day… This is dependent on your skin. A good rule of thumb is apply whenever your skin looks or feels tight and dry.

  • Brow area may begin to itch and appear slightly thicker in texture before taking on a flaky, dry, narrow appearance. Do not pick/scratch any flakes! Allow flakes to fall off completely on their own.

  • After all peeling/flaking is done, color may take on a hazy, dull, light, muted appearance. This is known as the “Foggy Phase”. The color will return/bloom after healing is fully complete, typically between the 3rd and 4th week.

 

Keep in mind, when healing is complete, it is normal to have lighter/less saturated areas.

 

FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE:

  • Sleep only on a CLEAN PILLOWCASE.

  • Do not use active ingredient products on or around the eye/eyebrow area including, but not limited to: Retin A, Glycolic or Salicylic acid.

  • Do not use Peroxide or Neosporin to treat the area.

  • Do not Scrub/Pick/Scratch the treated area.

  • Avoid vigorous exercise and strenuous activity.
