AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

LASH LINE ENHANCEMENT & EYELINER

What to Expect

• Swelling, redness, or itching, which subsides in hours to a few days.
• Scabs form and fall off in 7-10 days. During the scabbing phase, the liner may look dark and thick. As the scabs fall off, the color can fade approximately 30-50% lighter. This is completely normal and will be resolved during touch-up.
• Eyes may feel puffy, heavy, light-sensitive, or bloodshot temporarily. 
• Slight stinging sensation in the first few days is also normal.

Day 1 (Appointment Day)

• Gently wash the area with clean tissue to remove excess lymph fluid until oozing stops. This prevents crusting and keeps the area clean.

Days 1-5: Wash and Moisturize

• Wash: Twice daily (morning and evening), gently clean with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap using patting motions. Avoid acid-based or exfoliating cleansers.
• Moisturize: Apply a rice-sized amount of provided ointment 2-3 times daily with clean Q-tip. Blot excess to avoid trapping moisture or bacteria. (OMIT THIS STEP FOR LASHLINE ENHANCEMENT)
• Note: Let scabs flake off naturally. Picking can cause scarring or loss of pigment.
• Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried on the lashes. When you try to pull off the scabs that are hanging on your lashes, ensure the scabs are soft enough to slide off from the lashes. Use a mascara brush to help remove the scabs.
• Swelling: Apply ice packs for 10 minutes hourly for the first 4-8 hours to reduce swelling. Ice is not helpful after 24 hours.
• Sleeping: Sleep slightly elevated to reduce residual swelling.

Avoid for 2-4 Weeks

• Direct sun exposure or tanning beds (wear a hat or sunglasses).
• Heavy sweating, exercise, sports, swimming, saunas, or hot showers (2 weeks)
• Skincare / cosmetics on the treated area, especially exfoliants / acids (4 weeks).
• Facials, microdermabrasion, microneedling, peels, or laser treatments (4 weeks).
• Sleeping on your face or using dirty pillowcases (10 days).
• Heavy household cleaning with airborne debris.

Additional Notes

• Results may appear lighter or uneven due to natural skin renewal, which is normal.
• A touch-up session 6-12 weeks after the initial procedure is recommended to perfect color and symmetry (additional cost may apply).
• Contact us with any questions or concerns during healing.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before your treatment

When you book your first permanent makeup appointment, you will receive our Precare instructions for the weeks leading up to your appointment. These instructions are designed to ensure your skin is in optimal condition to provide the best results as well as minimize bleeding and maximize your skin’s healing abilities. Following Precare instructions can have a significant impact on your end result. 

Day of your appointment

Upon arrival, if you have not already visited for a consultation, we will discuss your medical history and desired results. We will then map the design on your skin and work with you to tweak it as needed, ensuring we are in agreement about the design before we begin. 

During the procedure, you will be lying down. Remaining relaxed and limiting movement will both help the artist ensure accuracy and complete your service on time. A numbing agent will be used throughout and the reported pain level in clients is typically minimal. Appointments range from 2-4 hours depending on the treatment area, complexity of the design, and your unique skin qualities. 

After your treatment

After your treatment, you will receive your Aftercare Instructions. It is critical to follow these instructions to ensure proper healing and desired results. All permanent makeup treatments require a 6-12 week follow-up which is included in your initial cost. This appointment allows the artist to analyze the results and make any minor adjustments needed post healing. It is very common in permanent makeup for the area to heal unevenly, to some extent, and very rare for a touch up to be unnecessary. 

To maintain your desired tone and saturation, a touch up will be recommended every 1-2 years. If your initial treatment was provided by Sunflower MediSpa, a touchup between 1 and 3 years will be offered at a lower cost than your initial treatment. If your previous work was performed elsewhere, or you exceed the 3 years, your treatment will be the full price.
