After you have finished your semi permanent makeup service, expect the following:
- The applied area will appear two to three shades darker within the following days
- There will be mild to moderate redness and inflammation depending on the sensitivity of your skin type and area of the semi permanent makeup service and should return to normal within a week
- The skin will feel drier, as the most external part of the skin will create a light scab to protect the tissues underneath from germs.
- At this stage, it is most important that you follow the aftercare instructions to prevent infections. Usually, your body’s immune system will protect the wound, in the form of clear fluid oozing from the wound called serum or sometimes lymph. This fluid helps clean the area and should not cause concern.
- As healing continues, you may notice that the area might feel itchy. Please do not scratch! Clients can accidentally take off more of their color by pulling off or peeling off the scabs. Do not use any exfoliating products.
- Keep the micropigmentation clean and well-moisturized. The more moisturized the skin is, the better the color will last.
- The dead skin will slough off by the end of the first week of healing, and the remaining color will look lighter than initially applied. This is normal and should not cause concern.
We recommend that clients refresh their shape and color at their leisure; however optimal time is about a year up to two years since the last micropigmentation session.
