Before the procedure 

To ensure the best results and a smooth procedure, please follow these recommendations before your permanent makeup appointment:

  • Wash your hair before your appointment (you should avoid water on the treated area afterward).

  • Get a good night’s sleep and come well-rested.

  • Stay well hydrated — drink plenty of water, especially before lip pigmentation.

  • Avoid coffee, energy drinks, and alcohol on the day of your treatment — they can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.

  • Avoid eyebrow waxing or plucking within 24 hours before brow pigmentation.

  • Do not wear contact lenses on the day of your eyeliner procedure.

  • If you have ever experienced cold sores, take antiviral medication (e.g. Zovirax, Valtrex, Acyclovir) ask your doctor, as a preventive treatment starting 2–3 days before the lip procedure and 3 days after.

  • You may take L-Lysine from the pharmacy to boost immunity before the procedure.

  • You may also take Arnica (e.g. Pronteochoc) to reduce the risk of bruising.

  • Avoid very salty or acidic food for 3 days after lip pigmentation and drink using a straw.

Proper preparation helps your skin heal beautifully and ensures better pigment retention!

Procedure after care 

To ensure the best healing and longlasting results, please follow these aftercare instructions carefully.

During the first week after pigmentation:

  • Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area.

  • Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning beds.

  • Refrain from intense exercise or activities that cause heavy sweating.

  • Avoid hot baths, saunas, hammams, or swimming pools.

  • Take gentle showers and keep the area clean and dry.

  • No water on the treated area for brows and eyeliner for one day

  • Sleep on a clean pillowcase to prevent irritation.

  • Do not apply makeup, creams, or other cosmetic products on the treated area.

 

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal color retention and smooth healing.

 

Come see me after about 18 months to check whether a touch-up (maintenance) is needed to keep your permanent makeup color vibrant and long-lasting, (one session only.) 

Brows  

Semi-permanent eyebrows are one of our most popular beauty treatments, enhancing our clients’ natural beauty by defining and shaping the brow to frame their faces. As the pigment will be placed around hair follicles, it is important to note that you may expect some itching around the area as new hairs try to push through the surface.

The biggest piece of semi-permanent eyebrow aftercare advice that we can give is to make sure that you do not pick the scabs. Picking the scabs will remove the pigment from the treated area, and it can also affect hair growth. To avoid large patches of baldness on the eyebrow, we highly recommend leaving the area as much as possible, meaning not to pick the scabs, get the area wet or apply makeup while healing.

Semi-Permanent Eyebrows Healing Stages

Total healing time: 3-4 weeks
Days 1-3: Tenderness, swelling, redness and bruising. The pigment colour is dark.
Days 3-12: Eyebrows will flake off, and the pigment will change in appearance.
Days 12 onwards: The true colour of your semi-permanent eyebrows will be revealed.


Eyeliner  

The application of semi-permanent eyeliner requires special attention. Whereas the skin on your eyebrows is quite thick, on your eyelids, it’s at its thinnest, most sensitive, and can be easily irritated. 

One of the most common side effects of this treatment is that it can cause the eyelids to become hot and slightly sensitive. For this reason, our best semi-permanent eyeliner aftercare advice is to apply a cold compress onto the eyes, such as a gel mask that can be placed in the fridge. This will help to reduce any swelling, redness, heat, and discomfort. We advise that you clean the mask after every use, and when popping it back in the fridge, put it into a box or bag to avoid contact with anything else. This will help to reduce the risk of bacterial infections in the healing area.

Semi-Permanent Eyeliner Healing Stages

Total healing time: 6 weeks
Days 1-2: Soreness, irritation and swelling. The eyeliner will look dark and bold.
Days 3-10: Skin will start to flake, and the liner will look faded.
Days 10 onwards: The liner’s colour will return, and your skin will continue to heal.


Lips​

When it comes to semi-permanent lip blush aftercare, you will most likely need to take extra precautions compared to if you were to have semi-permanent eyebrows or eyeliner. The reason for this is that the lips are easy to pick, and you will need to take precautions when eating or drinking. Try to avoid hot drinks for the first couple of days, as the heat can cause the already sensitive area to become damaged. We would recommend drinking through a straw, and where possible, try eating foods that require a knife and fork so that you are less likely to come into contact with your lips.

In addition to this advice, you must also avoid using lip balm as many products have chemicals that dry out the lips, and it can increase the chances of spreading bacteria. You may also experience a slight swelling of the lips, which will give the illusion of lip fillers, but this should subside in a few days. To help the swelling, apply a clean, cold compress onto the area, and try your best to not touch your lips.

 

Semi-Permanent Lip Blush Healing Stages

Total healing time: 14 days
Days 1-2: Tenderness and swelling. The colour will be very intense.
Days 3-4: Lips will feel dry, and skin will start to flake off.
Days 7-12 onwards: The skin will finish flaking off, and the true lip colour will settle in.
