Aftercare

Aftercare for all cosmetic and medical permanent makeup

How to care for Facial PMU:

Caring for your facial permeant makeup requires a dry healing process

Day 1: (day of service) No moisture to the area. Apply gentle patting with a damp, clean cotton pad every 10 minutes for the first 2 hours after the service. The purpose is to remove clear lymphatic fluid. Shower as usual, but do not place you face directly into the shower.

It is best to sleep with your head elevated and on your back for the first few days of healing. Please do not use any exfoliated soaps.

Day 2: Gently wash the pigmented area with mild soap & water 1-2 times per day. The area may feel dry or chapped but refrain from moisturizing the area

Day 3-6: Repeat washing. You can now apply grapeseed oil or Aquaphor 2 x per day. Peeling or sloughing of skin may occur. Please try not to pick at the pigmented area

How to care for medical PMU:

Caring for your medical permeant makeup requires a wet healing process.

Day 1-7

Keep the pigment area completely sealed with Vaseline & Tegaderm film for 7 days

Step 1) Clean area with alcohol

Step 2) Place Vaseline on the pigment using a clean Q-tip

Step 3) Completely seal the area with Tegaderm Film and change as needed

Day 7-14

After day 7, apply Vaseline mooring and night while also covering with gauze. Tegaderm is no longer required after 7 days. Can apply a cling film if needed. It is important to keep the area from rubbing directly against your clothing for 14 days.

No long showers, swimming, saunas or sweating during the healing process.

What to expect:

There may be slight swelling or redness the day of your procedure. The area may weep a clear lymphatic fluid. This is normal. Fairer complexions may become more pink or red immediately after you procedure.

The color may be 30-40% darker and appear to have a warmer undertone than when healed. The color can darken the first few days due to oxidation. The pigment maybe the lightest color between day 4-7. The color will then “bloom” over the next 28 days.

What to notice:

Please seek medical attention if a red ring appears of the pigmented area.

For eyeliner service only: Your sclera or white area of the eyeball should not become red. You must seek medical attention immediately if you see signs of bloodshot eyes or drainage. This may be a sign of infection requiring a physician and prescription medication.

What to avoid:

Avoid exfoliating skin products. For example, Retin-A, vitamin C serums, glycolic acid, exfoliating facial soaps and medical grade exfoliating enzymes or facials

No exfoliating skin treatments. For example, lasers, chemical peels, IPL or facials between your initial appointment and your touch up. Please discontinue for 3-4 weeks before and after your appointment.

Avoid placing your face directly into the shower for the first week

Avoid direct sunlight or sweating while healing.

Avoid dirt such as gardening

Avoid exposure to bacteria. For example, saunas, steam rooms, makeup products, or touching the pigment area with your hands.

Never use topical antibiotics like Neosporin

For permanent lip blush only: Avoid salty foods, extended wear lipstick, and plumping gloss while healing. Avoid teeth bleaching for 3 weeks. For day 1 & 2, avoid licking your lips, getting your lips wet, and heavy kissing. Avoid rubbing your lips together or picking.

For Permanent eyeliner only: Due to bacteria, avoid eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara for 3-4 weeks. Avoid eye creams, Latisse, & lash growth products. Absolutely no lash tinting, extensions, or false eyelashes for 3 weeks. Avoid rubbing your eyes.

For areola and scar camouflage: Avoid allowing the pigment area to be in direct contact with the air for longer than 15 minutes for the first 14 days. The area must be sealed day 1-7, and then covered with gauze day 7-14. See aftercare instructions.

A $100 deposit is required upon booking any initial permanent makeup and medical micropigmentation services. A $50 deposit is required for any follow up visits for permanent makeup touchups. This policy is to ensure that you are serious about scheduling your appointment. The deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your appointment. We require 48 hours’ notice if you decide to cancel or reschedule your appointment. In failure to do so, you will be charged a cancellation fee that is equal to your deposit.

A credit card is requested upon booking any injectable or massage therapy service. We currently do not ask for a deposit upon scheduling. We require 24 hours’ notice if you decide to cancel or reschedule your appointment. In failure to do so, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee.

If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment in most cases, your appointment will need to be rescheduled. This is in effort to prevent unfair delays to additional clients. Please plan accordingly, as you will be considered a late cancellation and will be charged the full cancellation fee. In special cases, and when our schedule will allow, we may be able to accommodate the appointment. This will be at our discretion and only with advance notification of late arrival.

We do not provide refunds for any reason as this is an elective service. We ask that you be respectful to our staff. We have the right to terminate any existing client at any time without a refund.

If you have previously had permanent makeup done by another artist and fail to notify us in advance before making an appointment, we reserve the right to refuse service. We also require a clear picture of the previous permeant makeup treated area prior to your appointment.

Healed results will vary with each individual client. No guarantee will be made, and additional sessions may be required to obtain optimal results. Although we give our best efforts to provide you with quality service, many factors can result in a less than desired outcome as each client will heal differently. It is your responsibility to follow all guidelines in order to achieve the best results. Please refer to our FAQ and aftercare instructions to see if the services we offer may be beneficial to you.
