Post-Procedure Care Instructions

Immediate Care: - Apply frozen peas in a baggie to the treated area to reduce swelling as often and as soon as possible.

DO NOT EXPOSE TREATED AREA TO THE SUN!
After 1O days apply a strong sunscreen to the pigmented area for protection from the sun.

• Prior to facial cleansing, apply treated area with a generous application of Vaseline. DO NOT apply soaps, cleansing creams, or chemicals to the pigmented area for at least 7 days.
• Do NOT soak your face in the shower, hot tub, or chlorinated water for at least 7 days. Chlorine can lighten your permanent makeup.
• Do NOT ever apply Retin-A or any other type of glycolic acids directly to the pigmented area- EVER. Leave at least a 1/4 inch buffer area around your permanent makeup and any area of facial treatment.
• Apply Bacytracin ointment to the treated area until the second night.
• As the treated area is healing, it may feel extremely tight. Use Vaseline, Vitamin E or A&D ointment continuously to minimize dryness and for protection when washing. It is important to keep the treated area coated in order to prevent scabbing.
• Do NOT ever pick, scratch, or pull at the healing area!
• If it itches, apply Vaseline and gently work into the area in a light circular motion. If you experience increasing redness or itchiness after a few days, discontinue the use of any ointments. You may be reacting to them.

I would like to THANK YOU for choosing me as your permanet makeup technician. Enjoy your new face!

REMEMBER: The treated area(s) will appear VERY dark, exact and intense for approximately 3 to 6 days. This is NORMAL! You may use a light makeup on the area after the 3rd day to tone down the color. What appears to be too dark after your initial visit, in most cases will exfoliate (flake) in approximately one week. As the healing progresses, the color will soften". However, with lips, in rare cases this softening" healing process can take longer. The treated area may then appear to be too light in color. This is NORMAL and your final lip color will show in about 4 weeks time. This completes your initial visit, and is the starting point for determining whether a follow-up visit is necessary. Allow 30 days after your first procedure before determining whether this follow-up is required. Please call me immediately if you have questions or concerns.
