SUITE 115 <br />FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA 92708 <br />(714) 841-7422 <br />GENERAL AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL PERMANENT MAKE-UP APPLICATIONS FOR 7-10 DAYS FOLLOWING THE PROCEQURE <br />• Wash the area with mild soap and water 3 hours after your procedure. Using your fingertips and a mild soap, be <br />very gentle, and pat dry. Mild soap - Use Dial, Neutrogena, or a soap that has no perfume or exfoliantes, Retin A, <br />Alpha -hydroxy acids. <br />• Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers. They may have bacteria on them and create an <br />infection. Always use a clean cotton swab or Q-tip. <br />• Apply a very thin coat of Bacitracin or Vaseline ointment 3 to 5 times daily for the first 2 days. Discontinue <br />Bacitracin and switch to Aquaphor for 5-7 days. If slight crust appears on pigmented surface do not force <br />removal by picking or scratching! (You will remove pigment along with the crusting) <br />• Wash the area daily with fingertips and water, then pat dry. <br />• The procedure may have some peeling on or around the third day. This is a normal part of healing on some <br />clients. The lip procedure generally will have the most peeling. Do not pick... picking can result in scarring and <br />loss of color. <br />• Do not apply make-up over healing areas. No tinting of lashes or brows. Avoid sun, saunas and swimming <br />(including chlorinated pools or Jacuzzis, the ocean or recreational bodies of water), contact with animals or <br />gardening for 7 to 10 days following procedure(s). <br />• When bathing, keep the area dry as much as possible. <br />• Do not rub or traumatize the procedure area while it is healing (pigment might be removed along with the <br />crusting tissue). <br />• Use a broad spectrum sun block after area has healed to slow fading, after 30 days. <br />• Do not use products containing AHA's on or near pigmented areas including glycolic or lactic acids or Retin A <br />products (they will fade the color). <br />• Avoid products containing Aloe Vera or vitamin E during the healing time. <br />• Follow-up appointments should be scheduled between 4 to 6 weeks after the initial procedure. New procedures <br />can be a two-step process and final results are sometimes not determined until the follow-up visit is completed. <br />Do not judge your procedure while it is in the healing process as it may require afollow-up. <br />• If you experience excessive itching or swelling or any blistering or other complications post procedure, stop <br />using the aftercare product and call your technician immediately. You may be allergic to the aftercare product. <br />• If you have excessive redness, swelling or tenderness or any red streaks going from the procedure area to the <br />heart, elevated temperature or excessive drainage contact your physician and your technician as the area may <br />be infected. <br />Failure to follow these instructions may result in pigment loss. <br />We suggest a yearly color refresher to maintain your procedure's color integrity. <br />
