General

Micropigmentation (permanent makeup) procedures are affected by the “canvas” (your skin) that they are performed on Lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, facial surgery, other procedures and age of the skin all contribute to fading. The initial application is always applied conservatively, because every person’s skin is different and the final color can only be precisely determined and adjusted during a follow-up appointment after the initial application has fully healed. Because of this, the micropigmentation process is not complete after the initial procedure. In all cases, a follow-up appointment is required 4-6 weeks after your initial application to fine tune and ensure the best result. Though rare infection is possible. If you see signs of infection such as persistent increased redness or swelling, fever, drainage, or oozing, contact your doctor immediately.

 

• Keep your hands clean and avoid touching the affected area(s).

• Do not scrub or pick treated areas.

• Avoid exposing the area excessive moisture or humidity, such as: facials, swimming, whirlpools (hot tubs), saunas, steam rooms, and steamy showers.

• Avoid Retin-A, moisturizers, glycolic acids, exfoliants and anti-aging products at all times (not just during healing) on all micropigmented areas. These can cause pigments to fade and lighten prematurely.

• Avoid tanning beds, sun, chlorine, pools and chemicals (including skin cleansers, makeup removers, alpha hydroxyl creams, and tooth whitening toothpaste) near the treated area until healed.

• Periodic touch ups will ensure longer lasting results.

• Do not resume any method of eyebrow hair removal or coloration for at least two weeks.

• Avoid eyebrow tinting within four weeks before and six weeks after the procedure. it is very important to follow the aftercare instruction, in order to allow your skin to regenerate quicker, avoid any complications and get better colour retention.

Steps to follow:

​

1. Clean the treated area every hour with damp cotton pads on the first day and every few hours in the next few days of the initial procedure. Dry the treated area with clean tissue and apply healing balm (if recommended).

2. For first seven days don’t let your skin on the treated area to get soaked in shower, bath, washing your face etc.

3. Do not take steaming hot shower of bath- avoid steam!

4. 14 days no make up on eyebrows.

Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post micropigmentation procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these aftercare instructions these symptoms may quickly disappear.

Eyebrow Micropigmentation healing schedule

​

If you’ve never had micropigmentation before, there are a lot of unknowns. One of the most common questions we’re asked is what to expect during the healing process. While every person is different and some heal more quickly or slowly than others, here’s generally what to expect. Temporary side effects from micropigmentation include but are not limited to: redness, swelling, puffiness, bruising, dry patches and tenderness. The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still seating on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment in the cotton swab as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin. Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

 

You should expect to lose approximately 1/3 often initial color during the healing process. We have selected the optimal pigments for you with this in mind. In approximately ten days it may appear too light. After about 20-30 days, the color will show more. It will appear softer when completely healed.

 

​

Day Effect:

​

1. The eyebrows are approximately 50% bolder and darker in than they will be when healed. Expect light to moderate swelling and redness. The skin’s redness causes the color of the pigment to appear darker. There is some swelling, although difficult to actually see due to the thickness of the skin in the eyebrow area. This will subside. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow to flake away and a more narrow appearance will result. New skin will heal over the pigmented area and result in a softer appearance of your eyebrows. Don’t be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker and heavier in size than you desire. This is all part of the process.1

2. Conditions remain the same

3. Eyebrows start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. Exfoliation begins.

4. The skin begins to flake, peeling from the outside edges first.

5. Color finishes flaking off and appears softer and grayer/ginger for a few days until color clarifies. 10-15. The color has lightened from its initial overly dark appearance. For the next few days, the color may now be lighter than what the final color will be. 20-30. The final color begins to stabilize and show through. The color will continue to soften as the healing process completes.

​

 

Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 50 in your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the colour pigment to fade away more quickly.

 

You can now enjoy your beautiful new semi permanent eyebrows. You will simply love your new gorgeous fresh look!
