Achieving the perfect permanent eyeliner requires not just a skilled technician but also meticulous aftercare. At Browlady, we provide expert services for permanent eyeliner in Dallas, ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful result. However, proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the pigment and avoiding complications. Here’s everything you need to know about post-procedure care to ensure a flawless finish.
Dos for Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare
1. Keep the Area Clean and Dry
For the first 24 hours after your procedure, keep your eyelids clean and dry to prevent infection and promote healing. Use a clean cotton pad to gently blot away any lymphatic fluid that may appear.
2. Apply a Healing Ointment
Your technician will provide a specialized aftercare ointment. Apply a thin layer using a clean cotton swab to keep the area moisturized and aid in healing.
3. Use a Cold Compress (If Needed)
Mild swelling is common after the procedure. You can apply a cold compress wrapped in a clean towel to reduce puffiness, but avoid excessive pressure on the treated area.
4. Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your stomach or side can cause friction and may lead to pigment loss. Try to keep your face off the pillow for the first few nights.
5. Follow Your Technician’s Instructions
Each person’s skin reacts differently to permanent makeup. Trust your technician at Browlady for personalized aftercare tips suited to your skin type.
Don’ts for Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare
1. Avoid Rubbing or Scratching
Your eyeliner area may feel itchy as it heals, but resist the urge to scratch or rub. This can cause scabbing, premature pigment loss, and even infections.
2. No Makeup on the Eyes
Avoid applying eye makeup, such as mascara and eyeliner, for at least 7-10 days post-procedure. Bacteria from makeup can cause infections and interfere with the healing process.
3. Stay Away from Water and Sweat
Avoid swimming, steam rooms, and intense workouts for at least a week. Excess moisture can cause the pigment to fade unevenly.
4. Do Not Use Harsh Skincare Products
Refrain from using retinol, glycolic acid, or any exfoliating products near your eyes, as they can cause premature fading of the pigment.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure
Direct sun exposure can cause fading and color distortion. Wear sunglasses and apply SPF around the area once healed.
What to Expect During Healing
- Day 1-3: Slight swelling and tenderness, with a darkened appearance.
- Day 4-7: Light peeling or flaking as the skin heals.
- Week 2: Color starts settling, appearing softer and more natural.
- Week 4-6: Full healing, with final results visible.
