Cosmetic tattoo aftercare

 

 All Procedures - No cleansers, makeup, swimming, spas, or direct water on the area until peeling has finished.  It is necessary to keep applying cream to keep the area moist. It will look slightly darker the day after the procedure, very light at 2 weeks after the healing has finished and the true colour will appear at 4-6 weeks.

For some clients it is perfect, others it may be too light, or patchy in some areas. If this is happening you are able to apply colour until your scheduled top up.

                                                                                                                  
Permanent Eyebrows & Eyeliner

• Apply Barrier cream supplied daily, best to always apply before showering
• Gently wash with a dampened cotton pad and light pressure to remove build up and any bacteria if needed.
• If the skin is itchy you are not applying enough cream.
• Some people, depending on metabolism will experience more exfoliation than others.
• Exfoliation is part of the healing process, do not worry.
• Exfoliation usually takes 7-10 days
• The colour underneath the brows will at this point appear to be much lighter in comparison to the skin which is coming off.
• The eyebrows will take 7-10 days to fully appear after the peeling has finished. At this point the colour will be lighter and more natural in appearance.
• Sunscreen is advised to protect the brows from fading.

 

Permanent Lips

• Immediately after the treatment lips will be slightly swollen and tender and colour will appear much darker than the one chosen during the consultation.
• Apply the Bepanthem cream constantly to keep the lips moist. The cream will help with soreness as well as holding the colour in. If you do not apply enough cream the lips begin to tighten and pigmentation will come out.
• Please do not pick – they will exfoliate on their own.
• No hot drinks or spicy foods for the first day, no lipstick, kissing or direct water for the first few days.
• The lips will exfoliate quickly after 3-4 days.
• Full lip treatments do take longer, usually a week before the swelling and flaking has finished.
• Please do not be worried if you loose colour as you can lose up to 80% the first time.

 

Cold Sores

If you have ever had a cold sore, even only one in your life, you will more than likely breakout. This is caused by stress on the lips. Precautions that maybe taken one-week prior to treatment are:

• Lysine tablets or Famvir Tablets from the Chemist
• Zovirex Cream
• Doctors Prescription of anti viral medication

The above are only precautions and cannot guarantee you will not breakout as the Herpes virus is always present in your system
