The results achieved during your procedure generally last from 18-36 months. However, as with many procedures of this type, there are several factors that will prolong, or reduce, the expected durability.
Aftercare is CRUCIAL!!!
Please follow these instructions for up to 14 days following the procedure to improve and prolong the results.
- Wash the skin around the eyes twice a day (morning & night) using a gentle, unscented soap (Cetaphil or baby shampoo). Use your fingertips to cleanse gently and pat dry with a clean tissue.
- Apply ointment 2-3 times a day for up to 7 days for thick eyeliner (OMIT FOR LASH LINE ENHANCEMENT).
- Scabs will take about 7 -10 days to peel off. Do not pick at the scabs or peel them off prematurely.
- Swelling and redness is normal for the first few days.
- Slight stinging sensation in the first few days is also normal.
- The color will fade approximately 30-50% lighter when the scabs fall off. This is completely normal. Do not feel discouraged if the fading is more than you expected.
- To achieve the perfect eyeliner, we need to see how your skin accepts the initial application and a touch-up appointment is where we will perfect the shape and color.
- No eye makeup is allowed until the scabs completely fall off.
- Avoid sweaty exercises such as hot saunas, hot yoga, and swimming until the scabbing comes off.
SCABBING:
- The eyeliner will start to form scabs and they might look dark and thick. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off in random pieces and might look patchy.
- Flaking and crusting on the tattoo area may occur.
- Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried on the lashes.
- When you try to pull off the scabs that are hanging on your lashes, ensure the scabs are soft enough to slide off from the lashes. Use a mascara brush to help remove the scabs.
SWELLING:
- Swelling occurs up to 3 days after the procedure, especially in the morning.
- Exercising the eyes can help reduce swelling and puffiness. Try blinking actively for 2 minutes in the morning.
- To relieve swelling, you can ice the area with soft gel ice packs.
ENJOY YOUR NEW LOOK!!!
