Procedure before
Lip - Brow - Eyes Preparation:
-Keep your lips well moisturized before the procedure. Use lip balm to prevent dry or chapped lips, which could affect the result.
-Avoid harsh lip care products or exfoliants a few days before the procedure to reduce the risk of irritation.
-Stop certain treatments: Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, and any other blood-thinning medications at least 24 to 48 hours before the procedure unless medically necessary and approved by your doctor.
-Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Reduce your alcohol and caffeine intake the day before the procedure, as they can increase sensitivity and lead to increased bleeding during Lip pigmentation.
By following these preparatory steps, you increase the chances of obtaining satisfactory results and avoiding complications during and after your pigmentation session.

Brows
Semi-permanent eyebrows are one of our most popular beauty treatments, enhancing our clients’ natural beauty by defining and shaping the brow to frame their faces. As the pigment will be placed around hair follicles, it is important to note that you may expect some itching around the area as new hairs try to push through the surface.
The biggest piece of semi-permanent eyebrow aftercare advice that we can give is to make sure that you do not pick the scabs. Picking the scabs will remove the pigment from the treated area, and it can also affect hair growth. To avoid large patches of baldness on the eyebrow, we highly recommend leaving the area as much as possible, meaning not to pick the scabs, get the area wet or apply makeup while healing.
Semi-Permanent Eyebrows Healing Stages
Total healing time: 3-4 weeks
Days 1-3: Tenderness, swelling, redness and bruising. The pigment colour is dark.
Days 3-12: Eyebrows will flake off, and the pigment will change in appearance.
Days 12 onwards: The true colour of your semi-permanent eyebrows will be revealed.
Eyeliner
The application of semi-permanent eyeliner requires special attention. Whereas the skin on your eyebrows is quite thick, on your eyelids, it’s at its thinnest, most sensitive, and can be easily irritated.
One of the most common side effects of this treatment is that it can cause the eyelids to become hot and slightly sensitive. For this reason, our best semi-permanent eyeliner aftercare advice is to apply a cold compress onto the eyes, such as a gel mask that can be placed in the fridge. This will help to reduce any swelling, redness, heat, and discomfort. We advise that you clean the mask after every use, and when popping it back in the fridge, put it into a box or bag to avoid contact with anything else. This will help to reduce the risk of bacterial infections in the healing area.
Semi-Permanent Eyeliner Healing Stages
Total healing time: 6 weeks
Days 1-2: Soreness, irritation and swelling. The eyeliner will look dark and bold.
Days 3-10: Skin will start to flake, and the liner will look faded.
Days 10 onwards: The liner’s colour will return, and your skin will continue to heal.
Lips
When it comes to semi-permanent lip blush aftercare, you will most likely need to take extra precautions compared to if you were to have semi-permanent eyebrows or eyeliner. The reason for this is that the lips are easy to pick, and you will need to take precautions when eating or drinking. Try to avoid hot drinks for the first couple of days, as the heat can cause the already sensitive area to become damaged. We would recommend drinking through a straw, and where possible, try eating foods that require a knife and fork so that you are less likely to come into contact with your lips.
In addition to this advice, you must also avoid using lip balm as many products have chemicals that dry out the lips, and it can increase the chances of spreading bacteria. You may also experience a slight swelling of the lips, which will give the illusion of lip fillers, but this should subside in a few days. To help the swelling, apply a clean, cold compress onto the area, and try your best to not touch your lips.
