AFTER-CARE

Immediately after a cosmetic tattooing procedure the area treated will look about 50% darker than the final results. This 15 temporary, the color will lighten and soften over 3 to 14 days. It is normal for the area to feel slightly tender or dry. Here are some instructions and tips to follow to care for your cosmetic tattoo.

​

​

FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS NO SOAP, CLEANSERS, SUN, TANNING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, MAKEUP & EXCESSIVE SWEATING

​

• Do not scratch or pick as this can cause color loss/scarring. Tap area if itchy.

•  No Botox, facials, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion.

•  Avoid long hot showers, and sleeping on your face.

•  Use a fresh pillow case to avoid contact with dust/bacteria.

​

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHOWERING

• Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/treatment area out of the water while you wash your body. Then. At the end of your shower, wash your hair.

• Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower.

• Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.

​

LONG TERM CARE

• Apply SPF/sunscreen daily exposure to the sun over time can cause color fading

• Avoid glycolic acid or peels. Anything with active ingredients will lighten the colour with continuous use. Check moisturisers and cleansers as they can also fade tattoo colour if they contain vitamins or aha’s.

​

EYEBROWS

• Immediately after and for next 24 hours continue to gently wipe the area to remove fluid.

• Apply aftercare cream three times a day for the first week then twice a day for the following two weeks until the skin healed and smooth.

​

​

EYELINER

•  Eyeliner usually heals within 3 days. Cold pads can be applied to minimise swelling.

•  Avoid rubbing your eyes.

• No eyeliner, mascara or eye make-up & no wearing contact lenses for 3 days.

​

​

LIPS

•  The color will be much brighter than the final colour for 7-8 days. It will then fade & re-appear after 3-6   weeks.

•  Avoid spicy foods, lipsticks, hot drinks, red wine, kissing or citrus for 5 days.

• Keep lips moist as your lips will be dry. Do not pull or pick. Let them exfoliate naturally.
