Eyeliner Aftercare Advice

HEALING CARE

Swelling and redness is to be expected immediately after the procedure. 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.

Day of the procedure:

·        Expect the color to be harsh and appear darker and thicker due to swelling.

·        After the procedure, cleansing should be done with a clean cotton pad in a padding motion for the first 4 hours. This is to absorb excess lymph fluid. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of any blood/lymphatic fluids. DO NOT APPLY OINTMENT!

·        You can use ice packs for the first 48 hours for 10 minutes.

Day 1-3:

·        Expect swelling due to gravity.

·        Change your pillowcase and avoid germs and pets around the area for 3 days.

·        Don't get the area wet, only clean it from lymph with a damp cotton pad from time to time.

Day 4 - 10:

·        Clean the area with lukewarm water morning and night and air dry.

·        Start ointment on the 3rd or 4th day. Apply a thin layer of ointment 2x daily for 3 to 4 days.

WHAT TO AVOID DURING EYELINER HEALING PHASE:

·        Do not scrub.

·        Do not sleep on your face.

·        No contact lenses.

·        Do not heat up body temperature (no exercising. hot showers, saunas) for 7 days.

·        No touching or picking.

·        No Latisse or lash extensions for 4 full weeks.
