HEALING: WHAT TO EXPECT
- The process you are about to go through is known as the HEAL. Β PEEL. Β FADE. Β process.
- Β Of course, it’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is different and therefore each individual person will have a slightly different experience when following microblading, medical tattooing andΒ permanent makeup aftercare advice.Β
- In some cases, the process may be slightly quicker and in others may take a little longer.
DAYS 1-7 (HEAL)Β – The area begins to dry out, forming a light crust.
DAYS 7-14 (PEEL) – The crust begins to flake away.
DAYS 14-21 (FADE) – The new skin underneath looks light and the colour looks faded.
DAYS 21-28 (RESULT) – The new skin heals and you begin to see the healed result.

THINGS TO REMEMBER DURING MICROBLADING, MEDICAL TATTOOING & PERMANENT MAKEUP AFTERCARE:
- Healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet. Please let me know if you are ill for more than a few days during the healing period so I can allow more time between your initial procedure and yourΒ follow up.Β
- Keep in mind that in many cases, during the two week microblading, medical tattooingΒ andΒ permanent makeup aftercare period, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. Β Your enhancement may not be finished and will likely take a further application to complete the full treatment.
- Loss of some eyelashes during the healing process is a possibility. Lost eyelashes will normally grow back within a 4 month period. (Eyeliner Only)
- If you suffer with cold sores at present or anytime in the past use an anti herpes medication for example Zovirax, 5 times daily for a period of 1 week. If an outbreak does occur it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process. (Lips Only)
LONG TERM MICROBLADING, MEDICAL TATTOOING & PERMANENT MAKEUP AFTERCARE:
- Use a moisturiser/body cream with built in SPF to protect your enhancement daily.
- Use a good sunscreen in hot weather, ideally factor 50 wear sunglasses in hot weather to avoid premature fading of your results. Sun exposure will fade your results prematurely.
- Avoid applying anti ageing skin care directly on the area, these have been known to prematurely fade results.
- If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please tell the technician that you have a cosmetic tattoo.
- Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you will not be eligible to give blood for 4 months.
LIFT & EMERGENCY LIFT AFTERCARE:
Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a salt saline lightening product service like Lift or laser. Please be patient and give the process time to work. Expect visible results in 2 to 5 sessions. How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be removed for the desired result. In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process by colour correcting covering tyhe old work. In cases where there is migration or poor placement, colour correction will not likely be an option and removing as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal. Results cannot be foreseen, predicted or guaranteed.
Emergency removal can be performed within 48 hours of an unwanted result. Once 48 hours has passed you will need to wait at least 8 weeks before removal can be attempted.
- Keep the area clean and dry during healing
- Use the saline provided to gently cleanse the are twice per day for 10-14 days
- Allow the scabs to form and flake away by themselves. Do not use the balm provided until all scabs have flaked away
- Do not pick peel scratch or rub the area during healing under any circumstances – approximately 14 days.Β PIcking will cause scarring
- After 10-14 days you may use the provided Microbalm to help the area healΒ
- Please make an appointment for a check up 4 weeks after an emergency removal to evaluate results and devise a future treatment plan
- Allow 8 weeks in between future sessions
