AFTERCARE Entire healing process will take from 6-10 weeks depending on your immune system and age YOUR NEW TATTOO WILL GO THROUGH SEVERAL PHASES DURING THE HEALING CYCLE. The following is a general expectation but will vary from person to person. Day 1-5: Oxidation of the pigment will begin. Pigment appears dark and bold. Procedure site may be swollen and red but shall subside as time goes on. Itching may occur. Do not scratch! Tapping around the area is okay. Day 5-10: Tattoo will begin to flake or peel. DO NOT TOUCH and allow skin to come off naturally. Picking at site may cause removal of pigment and/or scarring. This is just the superticial color and dry skin is being naturally removed from your eyebrows. The final look of your tattoo will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin's natural healing process. Day 10-15: Your tattoo may seem light as if all color has come off/not retained. Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period (peeling), color might appear lighter than before. This may give you the impression that color is fading too quickly. The epidermal layer is healing itself and may become opaque in the process. The pigment sits in a deeper layer of the skin which will rise to the surface as the skin cells regenerate. Day 15-30: Skin cell regeneration is still occurring, and color is slowly being pushed up to the surface of the skin. Color returns at this time. For ALL permanent makeup procedures the following MUST be avoided until superficial healing process is complete: • DO NOT let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch the procedure site DO NOT pick, peel, or scratch tattoo. This may cause pigment loss and/or infection. Excessive sweating Swimming or getting into any bodies of water Steam (including hot showers/baths, saunas, jacuzzi, etc.) Tanning (including spray tanning) Drinking alcohol /smoking in excess (leads to slower healing) Contact with animals, dirt, airborne debris MAKEUP APPLICATION AT/AROUND PROCEDURE SITE Do not expose treated area to the sun for 30 days post procedure. Avoid sleeping on your face during the first 7 days AHA's (lactic, glycolic, citric, retinoic, and. tartaric acids) or any OTC creams and lotions for tone correction, anti -aging, exfoliation, etc., can discolor or fade permanent makeup faster.
