permanent makeup

aftercare

Taking care of your new brows/ lips after treatment is extremely important to how your eyebrows will look after they are fully healed and the longevity of your eyebrows.

DAY 1- Brows will be sore, swollen, and appear red. Keep clean and dry, do not touch your eyebrows!

DAYS 2-4- Brows will appear bolder, thicker and start developing a thin layer of scab, continue keeping your brows dry and clean.

DAYS 5-14- Scabs will flake and shed, DO NOT PICK!! Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment on each eyebrow with a cotton swab and clean hands, spread a VERY THIN layer of the ointment across the treated area every morning and night. Brows should not appear greasy, glossy or shiny, if so you used too much, as this can suffocate the skin and delay healing. Never apply ointment on wet or damp tattoo.

Continue ointment until your brows are no longer scabbing.

DAYS 15-30- After day 14 you may return to your normal routines. After the scabs shed off the brows will appear very light, this is called the "ghosting" phase. It will look like they have disappeared or the pigment didn't take, don't worry this is a normal part of the process.

DAY 30- Brow pigment will return to a soft natural color. You will still need the 6 week touch up to perfect the shape and color.

*After healing be sure to protect your brows with SPF as UV Rays will fade the color faster.

tattoo

aftercare

LEAVE SANIDERM ON

Keep the Saniderm bandage on for the next 3–5 days. During this time, your tattoo may release plasma and ink — this is completely normal.

REMOVE GENTLY

To remove, wash your hands and slowly peel the Saniderm off under warm water. Do not rip it off dry — this can damage your skin.

WASH & DRY

Gently wash the tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air dry. Do not scrub.

KEEP IT CLEAN & MOISTURIZED

After removing Saniderm, apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, tattoo-safe ointment or lotion 2–3 times daily. Avoid over-moisturizing.

NO PICKING OR SCRATCHING

Flaking and itching are normal as your tattoo heals. Do not scratch or pick — this can cause fading or patchy spots.

AVOID

• Direct sunlight

• Swimming, hot tubs, or soaking

• Tight, dirty, or abrasive clothing over the tattoo

Fine line tattoos are more delicate by nature and can fade or soften more quickly than traditional bold tattoos. Some areas may heal lighter or less crisp depending on your skin type and lifestyle. A touch-up may be needed once fully healed to maintain detail and definition.

Healing time is typically 2–4 weeks.

Your tattoo may appear dull or faded during this time — this is part of the healing process. Full vibrancy will return once fully healed.
