After-Care

Careful attention needs to be taken when caring for your semi-permanent makeup post procedure, within the next three days your procedure will lightly scab over and then ‘slough’ away, do not pick or pull at the treatment area, and only use aftercare provided.
Do not get the area wet or allow the jets of the shower to hit you directly in the tattooed area for at least 7 days immediately following treatment.It will take 24 hours for the area to create a protective barrier; your final colour result will take 28 days.
A retouch cannot in any circumstances take place until 28 days as scarring any occur.
Your procedure will take three phases, 1) heal 2) peel 3) fade.
We do not recommend that make up is worn post procedure or during the healing process..
If aftercare is not followed procedures will not heal correctly and results will be poor.

Eyebrows: Initial 48 Hours clean every 1 to 2hours with cooled boiled / sterile water and a clean cotton pad.
Then after apply a small amount of aftercare with a cotton bud once / twice a day when needed for up to three days.
If your skin is oily in the t-zone area we recommend that aftercare is not applied.
Ensure no make-ups ,creams, soaps or cleansers touch the area for at least 7 days.
DO NOT PICK PULL OR TOUCH the treated area, swelling may appear in the next 24 hours but will be minimal.  

The Red Cross has advised not to give blood for 6 months following a semi-permanent make up procedure.
Do not have any form of laser in the direct area; the pigment will alter due to titanium dioxide in the pigment.
For MRI scans inform the operator of your spmu procedure, you may feel a slight tingling sensation in the area.
Ensure the procedure is healed before considering botox or collagen fillers in the direct area.
