AFTER-CARE

LOOKING AFTER YOUR COSMETIC TATTOO

Immediately after a cosmetic tattooing procedure the area treated will look about 30% darker than the final results. This is temporary, the color will lighten and soften over 3 to 14 days. It is normal for the area to feel slightly tender or dry. Here are some instructions and tips to follow to care for your cosmetic tattoo.

FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS

NO SOAP, CLEANSERS, SUN, TANNING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, MAKEUP & EXCESSIVE SWEATING

ONLY USE ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP TO CLEAN

 

DO NOT SCRATCH OR PICK AS THIS CAN CAUSE COLOR LOSS/SCARRING. TAP AREA IF ITCHY.

 

NO BOTOX, FACIALS, CHEMICAL TREATMENTS OR MICRODERMABRASION.

 

AVOID LONG HOT SHOWERS, AND SLEEPING ON YOUR FACE.

 

USE A FRESH PILLOW CASE TO AVOID CONTACT WITH DUST/BACTERIA.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHOWERING

LIMIT YOUR SHOWERS SO THAT YOU DO NOT CREATE TOO MUCH STEAM.

 

KEEP YOUR FACE/TREATMENT AREA OUT OF THE WATER WHILE YOU WASH YOUR HAIR AND BODY.

 

YOUR FACE SHOULD ONLY BE GETTING WET AT THE END OF THE SHOWER.

 

I SUGGEST DOING A SPONGE BATH FOR YOUR FACE AFTER SHOWERING.

 

AVOID EXCESSIVE RINSING AND HOT WATER ON THE TREATED AREA.

 

ONCE SCABS HAVE ALL FALLEN OFF, YOU CAN START GETTING YOUR FACE WET AGAIN.

LONGTERM CARE

APPLY SPF/SUNSCREEN DAILY. EXPOSURE TO THE SUN OVER TIME CAN CAUSE COLOR FADING

 

AVOID GLYCOLIC ACID OR PEELS. ANYTHING WITH THESE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS WILL LIGHTEN THE COLOR WITH CONTINUOUS USE.

 

CHECK MOISTURIZERS AND CLEANSERS AS THEY CAN ALSO FADE TATTOO COLOR IF THEY CONTAIN VITAMINS OR AHA’S.

EYEBROW AFTER-CARE

IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND FOR NEXT 24 HOURS CONTINUE TO GENTLY DAB THE AREA TO REMOVE FLUID.

 

APPLY COCONUT OR GRAPE SEED OIL TO KEEP EYEBROWS HYDRATED AS NEEDED.

 

YOU MAY WASH BROWS AFTR 72 HOURS FROM YOUR PROCEDURE.

 

YOU MAY APPLY MAKEUP AROUND THE AREA, NOT ON TOP UNTIL SCABS

EYELINER AFTER-CARE

EYELINER USUALLY HEALS WITHIN 3 DAYS.

 

COLD PADS CAN BE APPLIED TO MINIMIZE SWELLING.

 

AVOID RUBBING YOUR EYES.

 

NO EYELINER, MASCARA OR EYE MAKE-UP.

 

NO WEARING CONTACT LENSES FOR 3 DAYS.

LIP AFTER-CARE

THE COLOR WILL BE MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE FINAL COLOR FOR 7-8 DAYS.
 

IT WILL THEN FADE & RE-APPEAR AFTER 3-6 WEEKS.
 

AVOID SPICY FOODS, LIPSTICKS, HOT DRINKS, RED WINE, KISSING OR CITRUS FOR 5 DAYS.
 

KEEP LIPS MOIST AS YOUR LIPS WILL BE DRY.
 

DO NOT PULL OR PICK.
 

LET THEM EXFOLIATE NATURALLY.
