Have you ever wondered how long your lips and brows take to heal? Which aftercare should I apply for? When can I see the final result? Below is an explanation of the healing process when you’ve had semi-permanent makeup treatment.
Semi-permanent makeup heals completely within 4-6 weeks. Depending on the outcome, colour and shape - you may need a top-up. After the procedure, you may experience a few mild to moderate symptoms which include redness and swelling in the area. There may be slight bruising also. This generally goes away within a few days and most of the time symptoms are minimal and the healing process runs smoothly. If you do experience any redness and/or swelling a clean cold compression can be used to reduce any discomfort.
The following adviser for aftercare will ensure you the best healing possible and will prevent any infections/ complications.
Aftercare for Brows and Lips
Use aftercare balm (given by practitioner).
Keep the area dry and clean.
Do not pick or rub the area - let dry skin and scabs naturally exfoliate away (picking can cause loss of colour/ infection and scarring.
Use fresh bedding and towels after the treatment.
No Botox, facials, microdermabrasion or chemical peels for 1 month.
Avoid sunscreen and topical makeup.
Avoid swimming, spas and hot tubs for the first 10 days.
Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and tanning products for 1 month after the procedure.
Avoid sleeping facedown for the first 10 days.
Long showers are not advisable for the first 10 days.
Exercise isn’t advisable for the first 10 days (as you will get hot and sweaty).
REMINDER!
Be kind to yourself - healing takes time, care and attention.
Best wishes,
The Semi-Permanent Makeup Artist
