YOUR NEW TATTOO WILL GO THROUGH SEVERAL PHASES DURING THE HEALING CYCLE. The following is a general expectation but will vary from person to person. Day 1-5: Oxidation of the pigment will begin. Pigment appears dark and bold. Procedure site may be swollen and red, but shall subside as time goes on. Itching may occur. Do not scratch! Tapping around the area is okay. Day 5-10: Tattoo will begin to flake or peel. DO NOT TOUCH and allow skin to come off naturally. Picking at site may cause removal of pigment and/or scarring. This is just the superficial color and dry skin is being naturally removed from your eyebrows. The final look of your tattoo will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin’s natural healing process. Day 10-15: Your tattoo may seem light as if all color has come off/not retained. Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period (peeling), color might appear lighter than before. This may give you the impression that color is fading too quickly. The epidermal layer is healing itself and may become opaque in the process. The pigment sits in a deeper layer of the skin which will rise to the surface as the skin cells regenerate. Day 15-30: Skin cell regeneration is still occurring and color is slowly being pushed up to the surface of the skin. Color returns at this time. For ALL permanent makeup procedures the following MUST be avoided until superficial healing process is complete: DO NOT let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch the procedure site DO NOT pick, peel, or scratch tattoo. This may cause pigment loss and/or infection. Excessive sweating Swimming or getting into any bodies of water Steam (including hot showers/baths, saunas, jacuzzi, etc.) Tanning (including spray tanning) Drinking alcohol / smoking in excess (leads to slower healing) Contact with animals, dirt, airborne debris MAKEUP APPLICATION AT/AROUND PROCEDURE SITE Do not expose treated area to the sun for 30 days post procedure. Avoid sleeping on your face during the first 7 days AHA’s (lactic, glycolic, citric, retinoic, and tartaric acids) or any OTC creams and lotions for tone correction, anti-aging, exfoliation, etc., can discolor or fade permanent makeup faster. For Eyebrows: Beginning 24 hours post procedure, wipe eyebrows clean with cotton pad and bottled water (NO TAP WATER). Clean eyebrows like this every 2-3 hours until eyebrows have completely flaked or peeled. Apply sheer layer of tattoo salve after every cleaning. For Lip procedures: Lip aftercare is as important to the retention of the pigment as the actual implantation process. During this period, the primary objective is to allow the bonding process to be completely sealed inside the dermis. Your compliance will ensure that you receive maximum benefits from the procedure and reduce follow up visits. Ice packs are highly recommended for 10-15 minutes each hour for the first 4-8 hours. This will help reduce swelling and provide comfort. After 24 hours ice is no longer beneficial. Additionally, to reduce swelling, we recommend Arnica Montana in pellet form used sublingually 3 times per day. Do not get toothpaste or mouthwash on the lips as these may remove lip color. Clean lips by gently dabbing with a Q-tip and bottled water. Follow with a thin layer of tattoo salve. Apply salve several times per day (with a clean Q-tip). This will keep lips moist and accelerate healing. Do not let the area dry out, keep moist at all times. Apply heavy coat of salve before bed time, washing of adjacent areas, and immediately upon rising in the morning. When brushing teeth for the first 3 days, coat lips with a lot of salve before brushing and use a minimal amount of toothpaste. For the first 2 days, use a straw when consuming liquids; avoid eating foods that cause you to open your mouth widely (i.e. burgers, sandwiches, etc.), spicy foods Smoking is discouraged during the healing process For Eyeliner Procedure: Apply a thin layer of tattoo salve to the eyes with a Q-tip if it gets dry and uncomfortable. Be sure to keep the eye area clean at all times. Do NOT rub your eyes, if you accidentally rub your eyes, wash with mild soap, rinse, allow time to dry and then apply a thin layer of salve for comfort. Do not work out/ sweat Do not take hot showers Do not expose yourself to extreme heat/sun/UV light (including saunas, tanning indoor or outdoor) Be sure to wear a hat while outside. Do not pick scabs as this will lead to color loss, scarring or infection. Absolutely no makeup on the eye area until the superficial healing is over and all scabs have fallen off. Please be cautious applying makeup for up to two weeks following the superficial healing as well. Refrain from drinking alcohol within 2 days following procedure as this can slow the healing process. *You must wait until eyeliner is fully healed before reapplying eyelash extensions. https://www.cultivatedbeautyca.com/before-care daily 0.75 2022-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622e5b0e41736a50a497de6a/1647281454485-RUD6HO5K5U62FN85HMBX/Wordpress+Transparent-01.png Before Care Preparing for Your Appointment It is VERY IMPORTANT to prepare your body for any permanent cosmetic treatment.
