General instructions for all permanent cosmetics make up applications
For 7 days following application of permanent cosmetics:
INITIAL
Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers, they may have bacteria on them and create an infection.
Apply Vaseline 3-5 times daily until the procedure area has healed. Always use a clean cotton swab and not your fingertips. We suggest Vaseline, as it is non-reactive in most clients.
No make-up, tinting of lashes or brows, having eyelash extensions, gardening, being in direct contact with animals, sun, soap, sauna, steam, exercise, Jacuzzi, swimming in chlorine pools or in the ocean for 7-10 days or until the procedure area is completely healed. This applies post procedure and after all touch-ups.
Before bathing, gently apply a light coating of Vaseline on the procedure area using a clean cotton swab. Continue this regime until the procedure area has completely healed.
Do not rub or traumatize the producer area while it is healing, pigment may be removed along with crusting tissue.
Use a 'sun block' after the procedure area has healed to prevent future fading of pigment colour.
Try to sleep on a satin pillowcase while the procedure area is healing.
If you are a blood donor, you may not give blood for 1 year following your PMU application. (per Red Cross)
Touch-up visits should be scheduled between 30-45 days post procedure. All PMU procedures are a two-step process. Results are not determined until touch-up application is completed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please notify your technician immediately.

Remember all procedures must HEAL, PEEL, and FADE! This process may take up to 10 days.
Clients colour will look darker for the first 10 days as the procedure has blood and lymph in it. After the area peels, the colour will be softer.
