Q: What are the LASH LINE PMU aftercare instructions?

What to expect: • Your eyelids may be slightly swollen for 24-72 hours, which is normal. • To relieve swelling, apply a soft gel ice pack and take Ibuprofen or Benadryl as needed. • Do not pick or peel any scabs. • Swelling and redness should decrease within 24-48 hours. Cleansing: • On the first night, splash your eyes with water to remove any pigment residue. Gently pat dry with a clean tissue or towel. • Wash the skin around the eyes twice daily (morning and night) using a gentle, unscented soap. Use your fingertips to cleanse gently, and pat dry with a clean tissue. • Apply the provided aftercare product 2-3 times a day for up to 14 days for eyeliner (omit for lash line enhancement). Avoid petroleum-based products. • Avoid using chemical exfoliants or heavy creams on the eyes, as they may cause fading. • The color may fade approximately 30-50% when the scabs fall off, which is normal. Additional color can be added during the touch-up session. Things to avoid: • Avoid activities that cause sweating for three days. • For two weeks, avoid applying any makeup to the eye area. • Do not scratch or remove scabs, dry skin, or flakiness, as it may result in color loss. • Avoid using Vaseline, Neosporin, and other petroleum-based products. • Refrain from swimming in pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water. • Stay away from UV exposure, including tanning booths. • Avoid laser light therapy.

Q: What is the EYEBROW PMU healing process like?

• Day 1 • Brows will appear dark in color and slightly swollen. • Day 2 - 4 • Your brows will start to itch and will appear thicker. Excess pigment will begin flaking away. • Day 4 - 6 • Your brows may continue flaking and may look and feel dry. DO NOT PICK your brows, let any dryness fall off naturally. • Day 10 • Your brows will appear much lighter in color. It will take 4 to 5 weeks for your brows to fully heal. • Your brows may not heal perfectly after the first session. We will address any imperfections at your touch-up procedure (6 to 8 weeks after the initial procedure). To avoid during healing: • Picking, peeling, scratching the brow area. • Do not apply makeup on the healing area. • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning on the brows. • Avoid heavy exercise and sweating, swimming, sauna, jacuzzi or hot steamy showers. • Avoid heavy water flow directly on your eyebrows. Allow no water to collect or sit on the brow area. • Avoid tinting the brows for 3 weeks following the procedure.
