After your permanent cosmetics procedure, slight redness and irritation of the area should be expected. Depending on your skin sensitivity, swelling of the area may persist. Keep the area clean, free from dirt and oil. Wash your hands with an antibacterial soap when tending to the area. Keep a thin coat of ointment on the treated area at all times. Never put ointment on a wet tattoo.
Immediately following your procedure and for the first few days, your permanent makeup will appear very dark and prominent. The area will begin to peel lightly in about 3 – 6 days. After the area peels, the pigment will appear light or faded. This is due to excess pigment peeling off and leaving behind a layer of new granular skin cells over the pigment. The color will reappear in about 2 – 3 weeks as it heals. Depending on the skin sensitivity, it may take more than one session to achieve the desired outcome. All adjustments will be made during the touch up procedure.
