Permanent Makeup Indianapolis Part 3: Post Procedure Guidelines

There will be an epithelial crust that forms in the days following the procedure. It will be more noticeable on eyebrows and lips. This crust is dried pigment mixed with the formation of a scab. It is important that the scab is not picked, and that it falls off naturally in a few days. Picking the crust will result in a loss of pigment. Swelling is more noticeable in eyeliner procedures, but ice will reduce the swelling. Eyes will be slightly swollen until midday of the day following the procedure.

For the first few days following the procedure, the area will feel similar to that of a sunburn. Ointment can help soothe the area while healing. An antibiotic ointment should be applied only twice daily, and Vaseline should be used for additional lubrication.

The following is a list of post treatment instructions for Permanent Makeup.
- If swelling occurs, apply ice.
-Do not expose treated areas to the sun for five days.
-Apply antibiotic ointment twice daily for 5 days.
-Do not expose treated area to the full pressure of water while showering.

-Do not soak treated areas in a swimming pool with chlorine.
-Absolutely no scrubbing is allowed.
-Makeup can be worn over the area.
-Do not use soaps, chemicals, or cleansing creams for five days.

Failure to follow post procedure instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration, or infection.

Permanent Makeup in Indianapolis Part 2: The Procedure

When you arrive for your procedure, you will first read and sign a consent form that covers all aspects of your permanent makeup. This is a good time to ask any final questions before you permanent makeup treatment begins. That way you can relax during your permanent makeup procedure.

The first part of the permanent makeup procedure involves numbing the area to be treated. This is done with either topical cream or local injections. Topical creams are left on the skin for about thirty minutes before the permanent makeup procedure starts or local injections are performed around the area and begin working in minutes. This is one advantage of permanent makeup at Ology Spa. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Eppley, performs all local injection for permanent makeup procedures. Once the area is numb, the design of your permanent makeup can begin.

Next, you will draw on your makeup as you do everyday. This is particularly true for eyebrow permanent makeup. Then the technician can perfect the shape by measuring the placement of your eyebrows based on the shape of your face. The technician will most likely be more conservative at each end of the eyebrow because length can always be added at a follow up treatment.

Now the permanent makeup procedure can begin. If the makeup is already drawn on the skin, the technician can proceed directly on top following the outline. The skin is held tight in position while the procedure is performed. Several passes are made in order to implant as much pigment as possible. The area may be rinsed or wiped between passes to see if the pigment is implanting correctly. With each pass, the pigment becomes more opaque. If discomfort is felt during the permanent makeup procedure a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to the open skin for additional numbing.

When your procedure is finished, the permanent makeup will look darker than it will heal and will appear shiny. An antibiotic ointment is applied before you leave. The technician will give you both Vaseline and an antibiotic ointment along wit your post treatment instructions to take home. You will also need to set up a follow up appointment for six weeks. For people receiving permanent eyeliner, it is recommended you have someone drive you home because your vision may be slightly blurred or have sensitivity to light.
