It's easy to look after new Cosmetic Tattoo…

When you arrive at Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo, many of you are full of apprehension and/or excitement at having your cosmetic tattoo.  Of course you soon relax (it’s so beautiful here) and I’m listening to what you want and can see right away as well!  During your procedure possibly not much about your ‘after-care’ advice has sunk in.  Here is a simple overview of what you will need to do.

Please keep your semi-permanent makeup clean.  As soon as you walk out of my clinic there are many times you may want to touch your face.  Please wait till you get home or work to wipe away any lymph fluid on brows and apply cream with cotton buds.  I know, it all sounds so alimentary just as not looking in your rear vision mirror at your new brows, but it’s so important!

Bepanthen is ideal for applying to your permanent makeup for the first few days, mainly as it is so soothing and contains an antiseptic.  You may not realize when your makeup tattoo has exfoliated – it will be smooth and shaded (or stroked) as the case may be.  Let your tattoo makeup peel naturally, it will happen in just a few days.  Avoid swimming in any chlorinated water, no sea, or pools until healed and saunas, spa and long showers are best avoided.  Look after the new work and just be sensible.  It’s not long to wait, and very much worth the extra care.

Contact your physician if your tattoo has become red or uncomfortable.  There may be infection.

UV is a common problem for micropigmentation.  Again, look after yourself and use a sun block.

There is usually a degree of swelling on lips and eyes straight after cosmetic tattoo.  You may like to use a cold pack or apply ice for a few seconds at a time.  Again, please cover the items used in Cling Wrap to ensure everything is clean.

It is simple to be aware and again, continue to keep your cosmetic tattoo clean and moisturised after  you leave the clinic.  Simple!

Cheers,

Janey
