• Day 1-10 – NO Swimming, hot tubs, jacuzzis, saunas, or steamy baths
• Day 1-10 – NO Sun tanning or salon tanning, this includes spray tanning

• Day 1-10 – NO Exposure to airborne debris (Cleaning sprays, dust, dirt, open-air vehicles)
• Day 10-30 – Avoid scrubbing the area for 30 days after the procedure. After 10 days you may gently wash the area with clean fingers and you may apply makeup and eyelash products if desired.
• We recommend on a week long of dry heal. Clearly, our eyes are naturally wet but just refrain from soaking your eyes area in water (shower/ bath/ swimming), avoid saunas, wearing eye makeup, applying moisturiser, etc. What to expect? Some puffiness can be normal for right after and the following couple of days. Unless one has extremely sensitive eyes and they experience more than the usual puffiness or redness, it shouldn’t affect normal day-to-day activities.

What to expect after procedure

There maybe some residual swelling which is normal for ALL procedures. Reaction and healing is very different from one client to the next.

Dry skin, itching, and tenderness are all very common and normal especially within the first 3-4 days following the procedure. These symptoms will dissipate each day and will vary on an individual basis.

You can expect the colour to fade and soften 30-50% once healed. The touch-up will enhance any areas that have faded too much. Healing and colour retention is specific to each client and their skin type.

You will have to book for follow-up (4-6 weeks after the initial appointment) to achieve the best result that we are both pleased with. Some clients may desire or need an additional touch-up which will be subject to an additional fee.

It is important to understand that you will need a color boost every 2-4 years to maintain a fresh, natural-looking appearance.

If you are out in the sun a lot, use anti-aging products, oily skin creams, chemical peels, or sweat frequently, you will likely need a colour boost every 6 months to 1 year.

The better you take care of the treated area, the longer it will last.

General healing timeline:

Please remember that each person heals at a different rate from the next. This is just a general guideline so you have an idea of what to expect.

DAY 1-2

Your eyeliner will be approximately 20% darker and bolder looking than they will be when healed. Your skin may be red around the pigment which may make the pigment look darker. There may be some swelling in the area — this will subside. Don’t be concerned if your eyeliner initially appear darker and larger than what you desire, they will change many times throughout the healing process.

DAY 3

Your eyeliner will begin to itch and will appear thicker. Natural exfoliation will begin which will cause excess pigment surrounding the procedure area to flake off. Do not pick, peel, rub, or otherwise exfoliate yourself. Let the flaking slough off naturally.

DAY 4-5

More flaking and the edges of the eyeliner will look softer and may even appear to lose some pigment. Do not be concerned with this. As the skin heals, new skin will heal over the pigmented area which will diffuse the stroke lines and colour. As the layers of the skin regenerate from the inside out, the pigment will resurface and the strokes will clarify after about 4-6 weeks.
