Eyeliner Post-Care Instructions

Immediately After Procedure:

You will receive a postcare bag with necessary items.

Day 1-7:

Pat your lash line dry with a clean cotton round or gauze every hour (or when lymph fluid appears) until bedtime.

Use visors in the shower to keep eyes dry. Avoid water on the lash line until the dry skin peels off. Use makeup wipes instead of washing your face.

Do not rub, pick, or scratch the area. Let scabs fall off naturally.

Apply an ice pack with a paper towel for swelling in the first 24 hours.

Avoid makeup, mascara, makeup remover, face cleansers, and washcloths on or near the tattooed area.

Avoid contact lenses for 72 hours; use glasses if possible.

Protect your eyes with sunglasses and hats outdoors.

Avoid sweating, salt water, chlorine, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for 7 days.

Avoid hot, steamy showers and keep your face out of the water using the provided face shields.

No facials, Botox, harsh cleansers, exfoliants, sun exposure, or tanning for 4 weeks.

Avoid sleeping on your face and use a clean pillowcase. Elevate your head to reduce swelling. Try blinking actively in the morning to help reduce puffiness.

Healing Phases:

Day 1-2: Lash line enhancement may appear 2-3 times darker, thicker, and uneven due to swelling. Swelling, redness, and slight stinging are normal.

Day 3-7: The area may appear dark and scabby. Under the scabs, the color might look light or missing, which is normal. Do not pick at the scabs.

Day 7: The enhancement may look patchy and lighter. True color will develop between weeks 3-6. You can resume normal activities but continue to care for the area gently.

Day 7-Week 6: Color will start to reappear and darken. Healing time varies by skin type and age, from 4 weeks for younger skin to 6-8 weeks for more mature skin. It’s normal for color to fade 30-50% after scabs fall off. A touch-up at 6-8 weeks is recommended for perfecting the shade and shape.
