Post Care Advice
-
Swelling and redness is to be expected immediately after the procedure as the skin is very thin in this area. Itching is also normal. The length of time it takes to heal varies from person to person. The swelling shall subside in a few hours. It takes an average about 4-5 days for the scabs to naturally fall off. Your true color will not be apparent until the 4-6 week mark.

After the procedure, cleansing should be done by compresses with water wipes for the first 4 hours to clean the eye area in a padding motion, this is to absorb excess lymph fluid. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of any blood/lymphatic fluids and lessens the chance of scabbing. Do not apply ointment!
Evening: Wash your eyes gently with lukewarm water before bedtime (do not use rubbing motions, use dabbing motions).
Dry the area: Allow to air dry, or dry with a paper towel. Do not apply ointment!
Eyes may vary from slightly puffy to swollen, heavy lids; light sensitive and possibly bloodshot eyes. Sleeping in a slightly elevated position can also reduce any residual swelling of the eyes.
Ice packs can be applied for 10 minutes each hour for the first 4-8 hours following the procedure. The ice is used to reduce swelling and provide comfort. If you experience any residual swelling the following day, you may ice them again. After the first 24 hours the use of ice is no longer beneficial.

Apply Ointment: Apply ointment sparingly 2 to 3 times a day. Use the Q-tip in a gentle dabbing motion as not to disrupt the pigmentation bonding process. This will keep the area moist and accelerate the healing. If scabs form, keep ointment on them at all times. Do not rub the area in any way.

Long Term Care Advice
-
Future touch-up appointments are required to maintain their shape and depth of color. If you do not maintain, the color will lighten over time. Fading greatly depends on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, pigment color used, broken capillaries, and iron deficiency. We suggest that if you want to maintain your eyeliner looking its best, that you plan on scheduling a touch up once a year for best results.
-
The regular use of eye drops, lash serums or other preparations instilled in the eyes can cause premature fading of permanent eyeliner.
-
Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment.
Avoid using chemical exfoliants or heavy creams on the eyes, as it will cause fading.
Do not laser near your eye are (IPL). Some lasers distort the color causing it to darken or lighten.
Additional eye makeup application may still be required post tattoo to achieve your desired look.
If you are planning a laser procedure or MRI scan, inform the technician of your cosmetic tattoo.
The use of Retin-A/Tretinoin, hydroquinone, or any other rapid skin exfoliation used regularly on any area surrounding the eye area will cause your cosmetic tattoo to fade prematurely.
The use of chemical peels, acid peels, lightening or any brightening product that targets hyper-pigmentation used regularly near the eye area can cause permanent eyebrows to fade prematurely.
The use of exfoliating cleansers, scrubs, cleansers with acne fighting ingredients or “acid” in the name will cause rapid exfoliation of the skin containing the pigment and will increase odds of premature fading.
