Healing Schedule for Permanent Makeup Application

 

EYEBROWS:    Typical Effects -

 Day 7                         The eyebrows are approximately 30-40% darker and bolder in width than they will be 

                                    when healed. Your skin is red under the pigment, which causes the color of the 

                                    pigment to appear darker and warmer in tone. There is some swelling, although 

                                    difficult to actually see due to the thickness of the skin in the brow area. Brows will 

                                    be tender and may feel similar to sunburn, though this will subside. Exfoliation, 

                                    which begins in a few days will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow 

                                    area procedure to flake away in a more narrow appearance of your eyebrows. Don’t 

                                    be concerned that your eyebrow initially appears darker and heavier in shape than 

                                    you desire, this is all part of the process. 

Day 8                          Eyebrows start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. Exfoliation begins. 

Day 9                          The skin begins to flake/peel from the outside edges first. Brows may appear pink.

Day 10                        Color finishes flaking off and appears softer and gray for a few days until color clarifies.

NOTE: Permanent makeup procedures are affected by the canvas (your skin) in which they are performed on. If your skin is sun damaged (even from tanning beds), thick and uneven in texture, or excessively dry or oil, the result cannot be expected to be perfect after the initial procedure. Scars on the lips from fever blisters cause pigment removal. Lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, facial surgery and the age of the skin, all attribute to fading. Touch-ups are needed 30-45 days after your initial procedure to ensure the best results and to keep your permanent cosmetics looking their best. Your procedure maintenance, directions given to you are very important.
