WHAT HAPPENS The aftereffects
What should you expect after a permanent makeup procedure? It is important to discuss your lifestyle and expectations with your technician beforehand
Immediately afterward: The procedures result in visible redness, some swelling and occasional bruising. Applying ice to the area can help reduce these symptoms.
Up to one week after application: Most swelling and tenderness will be gone. There will be peeling of the skin and sloughing off of the pigment trapped in the epidermis. As the skin heals, the color will continue to change for the next few weeks.
Two months later: Healing is complete. You may add to or adjust your permanent makeup to suit your lifestyle. The application of sunscreen and good sun sense will help preserve your makeup for years to come.
What it is: Permanent makeup is the placement of pigment just beneath the epidermis of the skin. Sterile, single-use needles are used with every client. The technician is gloved at all times.
