BROWS AFTERCARE
How to care for eyebrows after the appointment:
1. In 2-3 hours after your procedure, gently wash your eyebrows with a cotton pad and soap, preferably antibacterial.
2. After washing and every 2 hours for a day after the procedure, gently tap brows using a cotton pad dampened with the provided antiseptic.
3. In 3-4 days, in case if your skin will be itchy or feel dry, it should be moistened with the given aftercare ointment in a small rice grain amount on each brow, max. 2 times a day.
4. When the skin begins to shed, DON’T scratch or try comb them, only allow the dry skin to come off on its own. See the picture with the healing process.
5. In 4-7 days, the crusts will go away by themselves. Until then, the brows cannot be made wet for long periods of time, steamed, etc. No scrubs, masks, or steam baths. Very active physical labor (like cross fit) with abundant sweating is strictly prohibited. Decorative cosmetics on the brow area is also prohibited.
6. Expect the color to eventually lighten by up to 80% once the healing process is complete, sometimes the skin does not take the pigment after the first session, this is a normal reaction; that’s why we need a touch up.
Color may appear sketchy at different stages of healing. Be patient. This is a process that does not yield immediate results.
Deep skin tones healing
The healing process for ones with Fitz 4-6 skin tones might become a little unpleasant. When physical process is similar to the picture above, it has a tiny risk described below.
Sometimes the treated area might turn to a lighter tone. In that case, we would need to postpone the touch-up appointment to at least 8-10 weeks after the initial session; every case varies. The skin will get back to its usual skin tone, and the pigment might also get back.
This reaction rarely happens; it is crucial for you to closely follow the aftercare described above.
LIPS AFTERCARE
1. In 2-3 hours after your procedure, gently wash your lips with a cotton pad and soap, preferably antibacterial. If there is any swelling, redness and/or bruising, it will go away in 3-5 days.
2. After washing and every 2-3 hours for a day after the procedure, gently tap lips using a cotton pad dampened with the provided antiseptic.
3. In 3-4 days, your skin should be moistened with the given aftercare ointment in a large rice grain amount on each brow, max. 5 times a day.

Dark lips tattooing side effects
Dark lips warming up is the most challenging procedure out of the entire permanent makeup.
It has a risk of lips getting either darker or lighter than its usual skin tone.
In that case, we would need to postpone the touch-up appointment to at least 10 weeks after the initial session; every case varies.
The skin probably will get back to its usual skin tone, and the pigment might also get back.
This reaction rarely happens, but the risk is there.
I'm putting this scary picture for you to make an informed decision.
I'll do my best during the lips warming sessions but can't give a guarantee for them to take all the pigment we'll imply into your lips. 90% of the lips warming sessions I performed were successful: at least some pigment stayed. The rest 10%, didn't take the pigment at all; neither of them turned to unwanted colors.
EYES AFTERCARE
There is almost no aftercare after eyes permanent makeup session.
The main rule is not to touch it and be ready for eyes to be swollen a little bit two to three mornings after the initial session*. If you want your eyes to be less swollen, you can use an icepack wrapped in a clean tissue. In case if your eyes will feel dry, just use some clear eye drops. It is forbidden to use any makeup or beauty products for eyes until the eyes flake out (usually in 7-10 days after the initial session). DON'T SCAB, SCRATCH, or try to comb out the flakes*; let it fall off themself.
*you can observe the very worst-case scenario on the picture; you probably won't fall under the same case.
