• Keep the area completely dry for 10 days .
• Apply the aftercare ointment given  1-3 times a day (for the amount of days recommended by your artist) with freshly washed hands.
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate. Picking can cause infection, scarring and pigment loss!
• COMPLETELY avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure.  Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.
• Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 3 weeks.
• Avoid sweating for a full 10 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results.
• Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 10 days.
• Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face for the first 10 days.
• NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for two weeks.
• NO facials, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
• After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading.
• Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 4 weeks after your procedure.
• Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels and Microderms around the brow area once healed.

Prep, Preserve, Perfect: Unleash the magic of Permanent Makeup with essential pre and post-care, elevating your beauty journey to extraordinary heights.

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, is a cosmetic technique that involves applying pigments to the skin to enhance certain features or create the appearance of makeup. It is a form of tattooing where specialized techniques and equipment are used to implant colored pigments into the upper layers of the skin.

The purpose of permanent makeup is to provide long-lasting enhancements to various facial features, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip color. It is commonly used to shape and define eyebrows, create the illusion of fuller lips, and enhance the eyes by adding permanent eyeliner or eyelash enhancement. Some individuals also opt for permanent makeup to camouflage scars or correct certain imperfections.

The process of getting permanent makeup involves a trained professional using a handheld device or machine with fine needles to deposit the pigments into the skin. Before the procedure, a consultation is typically conducted to discuss the desired results and select the appropriate colors. Topical anesthetics are often applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure, which can take several hours depending on the area being treated.

It’s important to note that although it is called “permanent” makeup, the pigments do fade over time due to the natural exfoliation process of the skin. The longevity of the results can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and individual body chemistry. Touch-up sessions may be necessary every few years to maintain the desired look.
