General aftercare to 7-14 days Post procedure.
Proper aftercare is a very important aspect of the long term success, effectiveness, health and overall satisfaction with your new treated/tattooed area.
It is very important to follow aftercare instructions in order to achieve the best possible results from your Semi Permanent Makeup procedure. Post treatment care contributes to 70 percent of the treatments success.
During the initial healing period, make sure you give the tattooed area approximately 2 weeks to heal and set. All tattoos carry the inherent risk of infection and/or allergic reaction, if pain or tenderness persists for longer that a few days, consult your doctor.
- Wash your hands before and after application and use a clean cotton swab each time to avoid infection.
- DO NOT apply make up over healing areas
- DO NOT itch, pick , scratch or rub the area while healing
- For the first few days after procedure you should avoid wash your face (unless cleaning with wet hygienic tissues is allowed)
The following must be avoided during 14 days post-treatment procedure
- Increased sweating
- Practising sports
- Swimming
- Hot sauna, hot bath or Jacuzzi
- Sun tanning or salon tanning
- Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck. Stay about 1/4 inch away from tattooed area
- Picking, peeling or scratching of the micropigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment
- Performing task related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
- Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab
- Always avoid laser treatments, because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns
- Do not use antibiotics and hormonal therapy as this can lead to a faster pigment fading
- Do not apply topical cosmetics over area while healing
Itching and flaking may appear during the first 7 days post-treatment procedure.
The healing of deeper wounds might last between 14-21 days. Touch ups and/or correction of the shape is recommended only after this period.
Once completely healed,always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF30 up to SPF50 in your tattooed area. Sun exposure might cause the colour pigment to fade away more quickly.
