Post-care
Please be advised that the healing process may take longer if you do not take proper precautionary measures.
Healing takes approximately 7-10 days.
Swelling and redness is normal for the first few days.
Slight stinging sensation in the first few day is also normal.
It is normal that colour will fade approximately 30-70% lighter once all the scabs fall off. Colour retention varies depending on skin type.
To achieve your desired eyeliner, we need to see how your skin accepts the initial application. Touch up will be done accordingly to perfect the shape and colour.
No makeup application around the eyes until all scabs have fallen off.
Avoid cleansing products, eye serum, cream, moisturizer around the eyes during healing process.
Water contact is allowed 5 hours after the procedure
Rinse eyes with cold water o Pat dry, do not rub!
During healing process, the eyeliner will start to form scabs and they will darken and thicken the following day after procedure. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off in random pieces throughout the eyeliner. It is normal that healing site might look patchy.
Flaking and crusting on eyes may occur.
Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried out on the lashes. Wet a cotton swab, gently glide off the dry flakes stuck onto the lashes.
Swelling may occur up to 3 days especially in the morning.
Exercising the eyes can help reduce swelling and puffiness.
To relieve the swelling, you can ice the area with soft gel ice packs. Alternative method would be storing two clean metal spoons in a zip-lock bag, leave them into the fridge over night; pat these two metal spoons around the eyes to cool and reduce the swelling around the eyelids.
