Whether you have had permanent makeup done yourself or hired a professional, you will want to follow proper aftercare guidelines. These procedures are not easy to remove. You must also be aware of the risks of infection and flaking. Below are some things you should do to ensure your permanent makeup machines look amazing.
Aftercare:
In addition to PMU pigments and tools, a successful permanent makeup professional also uses PMU aftercare products. These products promote the skin’s healing process and ensure the longevity of the pigments. Aftercare products are important for promoting healthy skin and protecting pigments.
Aftercare for eyeliner:
Following your permanent eyeliner procedure, cleaning the liner every 15 minutes is important. It would help if you continued to do so for a few days. This will prevent the liner from drying out and allow the color to heal evenly. You should keep the area iced, but not directly on the eye. The swelling will gradually decrease, and your eyes will look great!
Aftercare for brows:
Aftercare for permanent makeup machine brows includes cleansing the brow area with a gentle cleanser, lukewarm water, and a clean paper towel. After cleansing, apply a healing ointment or moisturizer to the brow area and repeat every hour. Blotting the area with a clean cotton round will remove excess lymph fluid, and you may want to apply a calming moisturizer to the brow area.
Aftercare for scar camouflage:
Scar camouflage is a highly specialized procedure that requires an artist with artistic vision and skills in permanent makeup techniques. The procedure blends pigments into the damaged skin area to create a more natural, blended look. The procedure is effective for most skin types, but not all scars are good candidates. Some patients require multiple sessions to achieve the best result.
Bleeding:
Bleeding during the permanent makeup is rare, but it can happen for some clients. The procedure isn’t painful, and scar tissue is rare. All instruments and devices used in the process are thoroughly disinfected before use. Depending on the location, clients may experience redness, swelling, or even crusting. The healing time is approximately three weeks, and clients are encouraged to plan for this timeframe.
One of the risks of permanent makeup is infection. The FDA is investigating a reported outbreak of infections caused by the inks used in the procedure. The firm that manufactures the pigments used in the procedure has voluntarily recalled certain colors, but the outbreak may have been larger.
