Permanent Makeup Care Guide

Because beauty deserves care, before and after your appointment.

To ensure the best healed results:

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before.

  • Discontinue use of retinol, glycolic acid, or acne treatments one week prior.

  • No tanning, sunburns, or intense facials for at least one week.

  • Arrive with clean skin, free of heavy makeup around the treatment area.

  • If you are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions, please consult your physician first.

Pro tip: Well-hydrated, healthy skin retains pigment beautifully. Drink plenty of water and moisturize leading up to your session.

Before Your Appointment

Aftercare Instructions

Healing is just as important as the procedure itself. Follow these steps for stunning, lasting results:

Days 1–10: The Healing Phase

  • After the first 24 hours, you can cleanse eyebrows with gentle cleanser.

  • Do not touch, scratch, or pick as this can remove pigment and cause scarring.

  • Apply the provided ointment sparingly with clean hands (a thin layer only).

  • Avoid water exposure, sweating, and steam (showers, saunas, swimming).

Days 10–14: Shedding & Softening

  • Light scabbing and flaking are normal. Let them fall off naturally.

  • Pigment may appear lighter or uneven — this is part of the healing cycle.

  • Continue to avoid makeup, skincare acids, or oils directly on the area.

Days 14–28: Settling In

  • The color will soften and settle into the skin.

  • At your 6–8 week touch-up, we’ll perfect shape and color.

Long-Term Care

Your permanent makeup is an investment — here’s how to keep it fresh:

  • Always wear SPF on healed brows, lips, or liner to prevent fading.

  • Avoid excessive sun, tanning beds, or harsh exfoliants.

  • Schedule refresh appointments every 1–2 years to maintain color vibrancy.

Healing Expectations

Every client heals uniquely, but here’s a general timeline:

  • Day 1–3: Bold, darker than expected.

  • Day 4–7: Scabbing, dryness, and itching.

  • Day 7–14: Flaking, pigment may look patchy or too light.

  • Day 14–28: Color resurfaces, softens, and balances.

  • Week 6–8: Touch-up session for refinement.
