Post Procedure Instructions

For 14 days following  application of permanent cosmetics:

Apply antibiotic ointment sparingly once a day, for 2 days.  Use Vasoline 5 to 6 times a day, keeping moist until the procedure has healed. Use a clean cotton swab. Do not use your fingertips.

Do not rub or pick at the epithelial crust, allow it to flake off on its own. Absolutely no scrubbing, no cleansing creams or chemicals. Gently cleanse the area with a mild antibacterial soap. You may rinse with water and lightly pat the area dry.

Do not expose the treated area to full pressure of the water in the shower.

Do not soak treated area in bath, swimming pool or hot tub. Do not swim in fresh, salt, or chlorinated pool water.

Use a total sun block after the procedure area has  healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.

Do not use mascara or eyelash curler for seven days post procedure. When you resume use, purchase a new tube. The old tube may  contain harmful bacteria.

If you are a blood donor, you cannot give blood  for one year following your procedure. (Per the American Red Cross)

Use sterile bandages and dressings when necessary.

Remember, colors appear brighter and  more sharply defined immediately following the procedure. As the healing progresses, color will soften. A touch-up procedure may or may not be necessary.   Final results cannot be determined until healing is complete. Touch-up procedures  must be made between 30-90 days following the procedure. Additional fees  will apply for touch-ups made after 90 days following the procedure.
