General After Care Instructions for
Permanent Make-up Applications &
Eyebrow Embroidery
-
Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers, they may have bacteria on them and create an
infection. -
Apply a thin layer of Vaseline 2 times daily until the procedure area has healed (not to the eye area).
Always use a clean cotton swab and not your fingertips. We suggest Vaseline as it is non-reactive with most
clients. -
No make-up, tinting of lashes or brows, sun exposure, soap, sauna, steam, exercise, Jacuzzi, swimming in
chlorine pools or in the ocean. -
Before bathing, gently apply a light coating of Vaseline on the procedure area using a clean cotton swab.
Continue this regime until the procedure is completely healed. -
Do not rub or traumatize the procedure 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.
-
If you are a blood donor, you may not give blood for 1 year following your PMU application (as per RED
CROSS). -
Touch up visits should be scheduled between 30-45 days post procedure. All PMU procedures are a twostep process. Results are not determined until touches up applications are completed.
-
There is a fee for each top up session.
-
If you experience any itching, swelling, blistering, or any other complications post procedure, stop using product and call your technician immediately. You may be allergic to the after-care product you are using. If you had an eyeliner procedure, do not use Vaseline, do not rub, scratch or irritate your eyes.

-
Clients need to follow ALL After Care Instructions in order to obtain optimum results of their procedure(s).
-
Aloe Vera can pull the colour out of some clients, so we suggest that they do not use this product while they are healing.
-
Remember all procedures must HEAL, PEEL, and FADE! This process may take 7 to 10 days.
-
Clients colour will look much darker in the first 10 days as the procedure has blood and lymph in it. After the area peels, the colour will be softer.
-
Do not use ANY products that contain AHA’s, Vit A, Retinol A or similar lightening and peeling products on the procedure area. Example: Lactic Acids Glycolic. (Check your product labelling and read the ingredients on the back of the bottle of product you are using). It will fade your pigment colour.
-
Failure to follow the above advice will result in less than desired results.

Lip Aftercare
General Care Instructions
-
If you have ever had chicken pox, a fever blister or a cold sore, you must take Zovirax, Famvir, Valtrex or other anti-viral, pre and post procedure to prevent the outbreak of cold sores. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you do have an outbreak, it will usually occur on the third day after application as well as after each touch up.
-
Do not eat citrus fruits and juices, greasy, salty, oily or spicy foods until your lips are completely healed.
-
While eating, do not constantly wipe your lips with a napkin or keep licking your lips as this will impede the healing process.
-
Be careful when brushing your teeth. Toothpaste may pull the pigment out of the lip vermillion. Also, do not bleach your teeth while your lips are healing.
-
Using products with Lidocaine in them will help to soothe the ‘chapped’ feeling.

Keep lips well lubricated for at least two weeks post procedure. (Vaseline is a good choice)
