Eyeliner/Lash Aftercare

• You will be provided an after-care kit.  

• Always wash your hands before performing after-care. 

• Notify your artist or your healthcare professional of any abnormal inflammation/swelling or possible infection immediately.  

• Day 1 (Day of Procedure): 

• If lymph fluid is draining from the lash line, pat dry with a clean cotton round.  You may do this as frequently as needed to keep the area dry from lymph fluid and to avoid scabbing.  

• Do not touch the eyes.  Before bed, you can ice the eyes by applying the ice pack over a clean cloth.  Do not apply ice directly to the skin.  

• Do not wash your eyes.  Try to keep them dry. 

• If the eyes are swollen, you may take Tylenol.  

• Day 2 (Day after Procedure): 

• The eyes may be swollen. Swelling is a normal reaction and some clients swell more than others.  The swelling should start going down this day and the eyes should begin looking better by the end of the day. 

• Day 3

• If the skin feels very dry, you may apply a very thin layer of the ointment provided.  Do not apply too much.  

• During Days 1 - 7 (Or Longer) 

• Until the scabs are gone, avoid water and makeup directly to the treatment area.  Avoid excessive sweating, sauna, swimming, sunbathing, tanning beds. 

• Do not peel the scabs at all, as this may cause scarring.  

• Do not apply any ointment other than what has been provided or Aquaphor.  

• During the first 4 weeks, do not use products that contain acids or ingredients that will lighten or exfoliate the skin.   

• Important Reminders: 

• Do not rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.  Let any scabbing and dry skin naturally fall off. 

• Do not apply makeup, mascara, makeup remover, face cleansers, or other creams to the area for 7 days or until the scabs fall off.  

• Avoid hot, steamy showers for 7 days or until the scab falls off. 

• No facials, botox, harsh cleansers, exfoliants, direct sun exposure, or tanning for 4 weeks following the procedure. 

• Avoid sleeping on your face until the scabs fall off.  

• Always use a clean pillowcase.  

• Long-Term Care: 

• Use a good sunscreen on your brows and try to stay out of the sun.   

• Use of Retin-A/Retinol/Tretinoin, chemical or acid peels, or any rapid skin exfoliation products used on the forehead area will cause the permanent makeup of the brow area to fade prematurely.  

• Schedule your annual touch-up appointment.
