Post-Treatment Care

Aftercare is key. If you can keep the area clean and don't pick, your procedures will heal quickly and look beautiful. You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is quite normal and will subside in a few hours. Do not allow water to go directly onto the treated area - if it does, please blot dry with clean gauze - do not wipe. The area may still be numb and slightly swollen. The numbing will subside within a couple of hours. The swelling should subside within 2 days.

In some cases there may be bruising. This should last no longer than 1 week. If the area weeps, you can gently blot the area with tissue to remove the moisture. Do not rub. If you are given some aftercare ointment for lip liner procedures use sparingly. Apply 1-3 times a day with clean hands and a clean cotton bud. If your lips feel dry, apply more frequently but do not overuse. Overuse may affect pigment retention.

For brows: We now recommend dry healing for best results. Simply keep the area dry for the first 2 days and do not apply any cream or ointment, let them dry up, scab up & then flake off all by themselves when ready.

DO NOT PICK OR PULL AT THE AREA - IT MAY RESULT IN INFECTIONS OR PIGMENT LOSS

• Heal: as soon as your procedure is finished your body will start to heal. the skin will close and you may see a thin scab which protects the area whilst healing.
• Peel: after a few days the scab will fall away and you will see pigment.
• Fade: you will see a lighter hue of impaled colour. This colour will change over 4/6 weeks. In some cases healed lip colour will not be seen for up to 3 months. In some cases eyeliner can disappear entirely during this phase.

• VISIT 1 IS THE 'BASE COAT'
• VISIT 2 ' PERFECTS'

Your procedure is not deemed complete until you have had both treatments. Your second visit can be booked after 5 weeks and before 3 months. If it is after 3 months it is deemed a re-touch and you may be charged accordingly.

Tips for keeping your procedure looking beautiful:

• Consider using a waterproof, total sunblock. Sun exposure will fade your procedure and the colour may change.
• Strong chemical or gyycolic/acid peels of any kind may cause pigment to lighten.
• Keep your procedure looking its best. Book a colour boost procedure 12/18 months following the second visit.

* If you have any concerns or problems occuring after your treatment please consult your GP immediately *

Giving Blood

The Red Cross advise against giving blood for 4 months following your treatment

MRI Scans

Please inform your radiologist that you have a micropigmentation procedure. It has been known for pigment to show up on a scan. You may also experience a tingling sensation.

Laser

Do not allow a laser to hit the skin near the pigmented area. You must inform the laser technician who should cover the area as a precaution. Lack of care could cause the pigment to turn black.
