GENERAL INFORMATION
All initial treatments require a top-up between 4 to 12 weeks later.
To maintain your permanent makeup treatment in perfect condition, a retouch is typically required every 12 to 30 months. This timeline depends on variables including individual skin type, lifestyle, medication, skin factors, and how well the pigment is retained.
To prevent the pigment from fading for as long as possible, it's important to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50. If you're planning on having an MRI, chemical peel, or any skin or laser treatment, please inform your technician that you have had a permanent makeup treatment.
Following a permanent makeup procedure, you may not be eligible to give blood for at least 6 months. If you have Botox or fillers in the area to be treated, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks before the procedure.
EYEBROW AFTERCARE
For the first three days after your brow treatment, it is important to gently clean and wipe your brows with a damp cotton pad and cool boiled water. After each cleansing session, apply a thin layer of the provided ointment. From the fourth day, apply the ointment once a day until the peeling process has stopped, which can happen between days 4-14. It is important to wait until the flakes have gone and the skin is fully healed before applying any makeup to the treated area, but remember that everyone's healing process is different and cannot be determined.
It is normal for the colour of the brows to appear very dark on the second day, as the healing process begins. The brows typically fade by around 40% after the first session, and remember that the colour will not be fully healed until week 4.
LIP AFTERCARE
After your lip procedure, it is normal to experience swelling, burning, soreness, redness, irritation, and flaking within the first 48 hours.
To ensure proper aftercare, it is important to clean your lips after eating or drinking anything with cool boiled water and a gentle cotton pad, and then apply a thin layer of the provided ointment. It is important to be cautious when eating and drinking - using a straw can be helpful. Additionally, be careful when brushing your teeth. If you are prone to cold sores, it is recommended to take the anti-cold sore medication before your top-up appointment again to prevent an outbreak.
The final healed results of the lips can take up to 6 weeks for the true colour to appear. It is important to be patient and follow all aftercare instructions for optimal results.
EYELINER AFTERCARE
After your eye procedure, it is common to experience puffiness, redness, and soreness around the eye area, which is normal. If you typically wear contact lenses, it is recommended to wear glasses for the next two weeks to keep the area completely clean.
It is important not to undergo any lash treatments for at least two weeks following the procedure. Additionally, makeup, including mascara, and eyelash curlers should not be used for at least 14 days. Following these guidelines can help ensure the best results and healing process for your eye procedure.
