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.
