PERMANENT EYELINER
- PRE-TREATMENT -
- From now until your appointment please stop using lash serums and do not start using them again until 6 weeks after your second appointment. Note, eyelash serums may cause permanent eyeliner to fade faster than normal.

- If you you have a history of eye styes or any eye conditions that may affect your treatment, please advise prior to treatment day.

PERMANENT EYELINER AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS & HEALING PROCESS
Post treatment care contributes to 70 per cent of the treatments success. Following careful instructions will give you the best possible results for your skin type and promote good healing.

Day 1: You’ll love your new eyeliner!
Your eyeliner will appear slightly larger than it will heal in just a few days. This is due to a small amount of swelling that is a normal part of the healing process. You will have no trouble driving home and going about the rest of your day normally. It’s unlikely that anyone will notice you’ve had your eyeliner permanently done except for possibly those you know very well.
Using a fresh Q-Tip and water, lightly wipe over your eyeliner every 30 mins for the first 2 hours, followed by a light coat of aftercare cream. After the initial 2 hours, apply the aftercare cream to the tattooed area every hour until bed.

Day 2 - 3: Your color will darken temporarily and thin scabs will form.
If you should experience swelling, an ice pack may be applied using a thin protective barrier such as a paper towel. Icing is most effective in the first 24 hours following the procedure. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated can also reduce any residual swelling. Your eyeliner will feel tight and dry, but not painful.

Using a fresh Q-Tip, apply a light coat of aftercare cream to the tattooed area 3 to 5 times a day. Keeping the area slightly moist for the first 7 days will help the tattooed area hold color and heal evenly.

Day 3 - 7: Your eyeliner will begin flaking until there is no scabbing left.
You want to allow healing to shed naturally. Once all scabbing has finished flaking, it is common for the color to appear lighter than it will eventually heal. This lighter color is only temporary as your freshly healed skin is hiding the true color underneath. Over the next several weeks your eyeliner color will bloom.

Using a fresh Q-Tip, apply a light coat of aftercare cream to the tattooed area 3 to 5 times a day. Keeping the area slightly moist for the first 7 days will help the tattooed area hold color and heal evenly.

Day 8: You can stop washing your face and hair normally again

Day 42: At 6 weeks your eyeliner is fully healed.
It’s now okay for you to come back in for your follow up. Any adjustments such as darkening the color or altering the shape can be done at this appointment. It is normal for the pigment to fade 30-50% within the first two weeks. Whatever colour did not stay will be gone over in your touch up, remember, this is a two-step procedure!! TRUST IN THE PROCESS!!!

Remember to schedule a touch up appointment within 1-3 months to avoid paying an additional touch-up fee.
