Pre Care
Aftercare
Please be advised that the healing process may take longer if you do not take proper precautionary measures​
​
-
Splash your eyes with water and wash off any pigment residue immediately after the procedure. Pat dry with a clean tissue
-
Wash the skin around the eyes twice a day (morning and evening) using a gentle, unscented soap like Cetaphil or Cera-Ve. Use your fingertips and cleanse gently and pat dry with a clean tissue
-
Apply ointment 2-3 times a day for up to 7 days for thick eyeliner (Omit this for lash line enhancement)
-
Scabs will take about 7-10 days to peel off. Do not pick at the scabs or peel them off prematurely
-
Swelling and redness is normal for the first few days
-
Slight stinging sensation in the first few days is also normal
-
Colour will fade approximately 30-50% when the scabs fall off. Do not feel discouraged if the fading is more than you expected
-
To achieve the perfect eyeliner, we need to see how your skin accepts the initial appointment and a touch up appointment is when we will perfect the shape and colour
-
No eye makeups allowed until the scabs completely fall off
-
Avoid sweaty exercises such as hot yoga, saunas, and swimming
​
Scabbing
-
The eyeliner will start to form scabs and they might look dark and thick. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off in random pieces and might look patchy
-
Flaking and crusting on the tattoo area may occur
-
Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried on the lashes
-
When you try to pull off the scabs that are hanging on your lashes, ensure the scabs are set enough to slide off the lashes. Use a mascara brush to help remove the scabs.
​
Swelling
-
Swelling occurs up to 3 days after the procedure, especially in the morning
-
Exercising the eyes can help reduce swelling and puffiness. Try blinking actively for 2 minutes in the morning
-
To relieve swelling, you can ice the area with soft gel ice packs
