| NOTE:
Permanent makeup procedures are affected by the canvas (your
skin) that they are performed on. If your skin is sun damaged (even
from tanning beds), thick and uneven in texture, or excessively dry
or oily, the result cannot be expected to be perfect after the initial
procedure. Scars on the lips from fever blisters cause pigment removal.
Lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, facial surgery, and age
of skin all contribute to fading. Touchups are needed 30 days after
your initial procedure to ensure the best result and to keep your
permanent cosmetics looking the best. Your procedure maintenance,
as outlined in your pre-post procedure directions, is very important.

"blooms" from within more and more each day until day 21 (3
weeks post procedure). |

| EYELINER |
 |
|
DAY
|
EFFECT
|
| Day
1 |
Swollen,
like you've been crying, with a heavier eye makeup look |
| Day
2 |
Swollen,
usually for a few hours after waking up, with the heavier eye makeup
look continuing. |
| Day

| Day
5 |
Blinking
movements of the eye usually removes all pigment by this day. Color
is somewhat grayish and will take a few more days to clarify to full
color. |
|
| EYEBROWS |
 |
| DAY |
EFFECT |
|
Day 1
|
The eyebrows are approximately
20 to 25% darker and bolder in width than they will be when healed.
Your skin is red under the pigment which causes the color of the
pigment to appear darker. There is some swelling, although difficult
to actually see due to the thickness of the skin in the eyebrow
area. This will subside. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days,
will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure
to flake away and a more narrow appearance will result. Now skin
will heal over the pigmented area and result in a softer appearance
of your eyebrows. Don't be concerned that your eyebrows initially
appear darker and heavier in size than you desire. This is all part
of the process.
|
| Day
2 |
Conditions
remain the same. |
| Day
3 |
Eyebrows
start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. Exfoliation
begins. |
| Day
4 |
The
skin begins to flake - peeling from the outside edges first. |
| Day
5 |
Color
finishes flaking off and appears softer and grayer for a few days
until color clarifies. |
