1. AVOID WATER EXPOSURE

AVOID WATER: KEEP THE TREATED AREA DRY FOR THE FIRST 10 DAYS. AVOID SWIMMING, STEAM, SAUNAS, AND LONG SHOWERS THAT COULD EXPOSE THE AREA TO EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.

BE CAREFUL WITH WASHING YOUR FACE: WHEN WASHING YOUR FACE, AVOID GETTING THE TREATED AREA WET. USE A DAMP CLOTH AROUND THE AREA. USE DISPOSABLE FACE SHIELDS PROVIDED BY YOUR PRACTICIONER WHILE SHOWERING.

2. APPLY AFTERCARE OINTMENT AFTER 5 DAYS

USE RECOMMENDED OINTMENT FROM DAY 5, ALLOW TO DRY HEAL FOR THE FIRST 5 DAYS.: YOUR PRACTITIONER MAY PROVIDE OR RECOMMEND AN OINTMENT OR CREAM TO APPLY TO THE TREATED AREA. USE THIS AS DIRECTED, USUALLY A THIN LAYER ONCE A DAY.

AVOID OVER-APPLYING: APPLYING TOO MUCH OINTMENT CAN SUFFOCATE THE SKIN AND DELAY HEALING. DO NOT APPLY ANY OTHER AFTERCARE CREAMS UNLESS ADVISED BY YOUR PRACTITIONER.

3. NO PICKING OR SCRATCHING

AVOID TOUCHING: RESIST THE URGE TO TOUCH, SCRATCH, OR PICK AT THE TREATED AREA AS IT HEALS. PICKING CAN LEAD TO SCARRING, PIGMENT LOSS, OR INFECTION.

ALLOW NATURAL HEALING: LET ANY SCABBING OR FLAKING HAPPEN NATURALLY. THE AREA WILL LIKELY ITCH AS IT HEALS, BUT IT’S IMPORTANT NOT TO DISTURB IT.

4. AVOID MAKEUP AND SKINCARE PRODUCTS

NO MAKEUP: DO NOT APPLY MAKEUP ON OR NEAR THE TREATED AREA FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS.

AVOID SKINCARE PRODUCTS: AVOID USING EXFOLIANTS, ACIDS (LIKE GLYCOLIC OR SALICYLIC ACID), RETINOL, OR OTHER ACTIVE SKINCARE INGREDIENTS ON OR NEAR THE TREATED AREA FOR 2 WEEKS. NO FACIALS FOR 2 WEEKS.

5. PROTECT FROM SUN EXPOSURE

USE SUNSCREEN: ONCE THE AREA IS HEALED, USE SUNSCREEN TO PROTECT THE TREATED AREA FROM SUN EXPOSURE. SUNLIGHT CAN CAUSE THE PIGMENT TO FADE MORE QUICKLY. (CAUSES BLUE/GREY/ORANGE TONES)

AVOID DIRECT SUN: AVOID DIRECT SUN EXPOSURE, SUN BEDS, OR SUNBATHING FOR 2 WEEKS.

6. AVOID PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

NO SWEAT: FOR THE FIRST 10 DAYS, AVOID HEAVY EXERCISE THAT MIGHT CAUSE SWEATING, AS THIS CAN INTERFERE WITH THE HEALING PROCESS AND SALT IN SWEAT BREAKS DOWN PIGMENT

7. FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR PRACTITIONER

ATTEND FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS: IT IS MANDATORY TO ATTEND YOUR 6-8 WEEK TOP UP AS THE FIRST SESSION IS ONLY 50% OF THE TREATMENT. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU FAIL TO ATTEND YOUR 6-8 WEEK TOP-UP APPOINTMENT, YOU WILL NEED TO SCHEDULE A 6-12 MONTH TOP-UP INSTEAD. THIS LATER TOP-UP IS MORE COSTLY AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL WORK TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS

REPORT ANY URGENT CONCERNS: IF YOU NOTICE ANY SIGNS OF INFECTION (OR PUS), CONTACT YOUR PRACTITIONER OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT CAN TAKE UP TO 6 WEEKS FOR THE FINAL RESULTS TO BECOME FULLY VISIBLE. UNLESS YOUR SITUATION IS URGENT, WE KINDLY ASK THAT YOU REFRAIN FROM CONTACTING US REGARDING THE RESULTS UNTIL THE FULL HEALING PERIOD HAS PASSED.

8. LONG-TERM CARE

TOUCH-UPS: PMU MAY REQUIRE TOUCH-UPS TO MAINTAIN THE DESIRED APPEARANCE, USUALLY AFTER 6-24 MONTHS, DEPENDING ON HOW WELL THE PIGMENT HOLDS.

MOISTURIZE REGULARLY: AFTER THE AREA IS FULLY HEALED, KEEP THE SKIN MOISTURIZED TO PROLONG THE VIBRANCY OF THE PIGMENT. SPF 50 DAILY TO AVOID FADING.

• Do NOT use a tanning bed 2 weeks prior. If you have a sunburn at the time of the appointment, you will be rescheduled and forfeit your deposit.
• Avoid waxing or tinting 2 weeks prior to service.
• Do not take long or super hot showers within the first 7 days. It can cause perspiration and push the pigment out.
• Do not scratch or pick the treated area when it starts to itch or become patchy while healing., pat instead. This will avoid scarring and pigment loss.
• Do not pick at the area during peeling stage. It is part of the natural healing process. Your permanent makeup will appear softer and greyer until the color clarifies. Your new permanent makeup will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
• It is normal for clients to lose original hair strokes or pigmentation. Everyone’s skin is different! It is absolutely normal and possible to heal unevenly. This is why a touch up session is required to add more strokes or pigmentation and perfect the shape if needed.
• Keep your face away from the shower head while healing.
• No makeup on treated area until peeling is finished. No exceptions.
• Avoid sleeping positions that will rub your treated area while healing. Try sleeping on your side or wearing a silk or satin face mask to avoid friction
• Cover your brows or treated area with a hat if you’re in the sun. The sun will cause the area to fade, resulting in an undesired color. Always wear sunscreen on the treated area after they heal if you aren’t wearing makeup.
