Day of your appointment:

– Arrive with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or SPF on the treatment area.

Permanent Makeup Post Care

The healing process is just as important as the procedure itself. Here’s how to insure the best results:

For the first 5-7 days:

– Keep the area clean and dry—no water (except during your daily cleanse), sweat, or steam.

– Gently blot the area with a clean tissue if needed.

– Apply only the healing ointment provided using clean hands or a cotton swab. Less is more.

– Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area as it flakes or peels.

Avoid for 7-14 days:

– Direct sun exposure, heavy sweating and saunas.

Ongoing care:

– Always wear SPF to extend the life of your permanent makeup.

– Avoid resurfacing treatments (lasers, peels) directly over the tattooed area.

– A touch-up session is required 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment.
