PRE & POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Liner–What to expect

  • 5-7 days Healing Time
  • Day 1: Eyes may be puffy and slightly swollen after the procedure. They may bruise, but that tends to dissipate within hours. Expect some heaviness to your lids, light sensitive and sometimes bloodshot eyes. If you feel like you need to use lubricating eye drops you may but only if they feel dry or irritated.
  • It’s advisable to sleep in an elevated position to help reduce swelling at night. Consult with your doctor about taking Tylenol or Benadryl the night of the procedure to help reduce swelling.
  • Day 2: Eyes will be swollen and perhaps a bit ‘crusty’ upon waking. The swelling will reduce after being in an upright position and from blinking and increased circulation to the area. Avoid heavy lifting, physical exertion, and crying.
  • Day 3: Eyes will be less swollen, but will feel tight. The lash area will feel slightly sore if touched. You may apply a small amount of ointment with clean hands if they feel very dry and tight.
  • Day 3-4: The top layer of skin will begin to flake off in little stitch looking lines, although some people do not notice the exfoliation. DO NOT PICK– you will pull pigment out and end up with uneven color. Blinking helps eliminate the flakes that have detached. It is important not to pick at it or rub the eyes. 
  • Day 7-9: All shedding should be complete. You are safe to put your face back in the shower spray. During this time, the tattoo may appear to have vanished, this is a normal part of the healing process, and the pigment will re-emerge as the days go on.
  • Day 10: Pigment, if it faded, should have returned. What you see now is very close to the healed result. If it is not as you like, please wait an additional 4 weeks and return for a touch up procedure.
  • Day 30:  Now is the time to critique your brows. Any adjustments can be made at a touch up.
