Home Care Instructions For Tattooed Cosmetics
After Your Permanent Cosmetics treatment slight redness and inflammation of the area is normal and should be expected. Depending on your skin sensitivity, swelling of the area may persist. This can be remedied by applying a clean ice pack or cold compress over the area in 10mins intervals. Keep the area clean and free from dirt and oils.
Things To Do To Avoid Infection
Please make sure you keep your hair off of the treated area for at least 3 days, clip back your fringe.
Use a clean pillow case for sleeping.
Do not let your children/pets ect touch the treated area whilst healing.
Only use the recommended aftercare cream.
No exercise for at least 24 hours, Avoid hot or dusty environments.
Fingers must be clean when applying the aftercare.
No make up on the treated area for 5 days at least.
First Day After Treatment
Wash your hands with antibacterial soap before tending to the area , wipe the area every hour or so and every 2-3 hours the second day with a clean damp cotton wool pad or fragranced free baby wipe, blot dry with a tissue or paper towel. They may weep a clear fluid (this is normal) Wipe them firmly to remove the fluid otherwise a crusting or scab will build up which is what you need to avoid.
Do not exfoliate or use any acid based products.
You may apply a very thin layer of aftercare balm which I will provide you with.
Reapply only after wiping and blotting the area dry, maintaining a thin, moist barrier protecting the area at all times. Repete this for 3-4 days after treatment (no balm is required for eyeliners).
For Brows & Lips it is recommended to apply for at least 7-10 Days.
Important Rules
Applying an excess amount of aftercare balm my cause infection.
Make sure to remove previous balm before reapplying. Keep the coverage sheer and minimal.
Do not apply any other healing agents to the area, as they may strip out the applied pigment.
If scabbing or peeling occurs, DO NOT, pick or peel the scab.
DO NOT Apply makeup directly on top of the treated area for at least 5 days.
If you wear make up around the area, remove it with water and a mild fragranced free ph neutral soap.
Avoid make up removers or harsh cleansers.
No plucking, tweezing, waxing, threading, within the tattooed area or around it whilst healing.
After the flaking has come off the tattoo will look very light underneath and could be patchy, this is normal. Remember the colour will at times look light and then dark. The true colour will be seen at 4 weeks.
DO NOT Pick the flaking off this can cause patchiness and even scarring
Looking After Your Make Up During Healing & Once Healed
Once your make up has healed apply sunblock stick over brow & Lip Tattoos (factor 45+) For eyeliner or if still healing brows/lips/eyes use Sunglasses/Hat if you are going on holiday or if the weather gets very hot and sunny.
Cover your Tattoo if you use a Sun bed as it can lighten them dramatically and change the colour.
Cover the tattoo with Vaseline when swimming in salt or chlorinated water to avoid bleaching effect. Any chemicals of any kind can interfere with the bonding process. Any Glycolic Acid or peels must be kept completely away from the tattoo as it changes the colour and lightens them with constant continuous use. Check moisturisers and cleansers as they can also fade tattoo colour if they contain Retinol A, Aha's Or Skin Brighteners, Fruit enzymes.
Smoking, Medication, Alcohol, Poor Diet/Compromised Immune system, can also effect the colour and retention.
Colours will appear brighter and more sharply defined immediately following the procedure. Colours will lighten and soften in 3-10 days. Often clients think they have lost their colour, it has lightened to much.
This is the reason your adjustments have to wait to be done after 4 weeks and a second treatment will then take place.
Please be aware hairstroke's usually soften and become more of a powdered effect over time.
Once healed when applying makeup, apply around the tattoo or wipe excess foundation off the tattoo so the colour shows through. If you cover the tattoo with foundation/powder the colour will appear lighter and cooler.
Generally darker colours will heal cooler in the skin.
