Aftercare
How to heal beautifully
Roughly half of your final result is technique and half is healing. This page is the healing half — bookmark it, and follow it closely for the first two weeks.
Please do
- Blot the area gently with a clean tissue for the first few hours if it feels damp.
- Sleep on your back for the first few nights where you can.
- Keep your hands clean and away from the area.
- Use only the aftercare product we give you, exactly as often as we say.
- Let every flake fall away on its own, in its own time.
Please don’t
- Do not pick, scratch or peel — this is the single most common cause of patchy healing.
- No swimming, saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga or heavy sweating for seven days.
- No direct sun or tanning beds on the healing area.
- No makeup, retinol, acids or exfoliants over the area until fully healed.
- No facials, peels or laser treatments near the area for four weeks.
A note on the ugly stage. Around days four to ten almost everyone panics — the colour looks too dark, then patchy, then as though it has vanished. That is the process working, not failing. Judge nothing until week four, and call us if you are worried rather than sitting with it.
NanoBlading
Healing your nanoblading
Keep the area dry for seven days: no swimming, saunas, steam or heavy sweating. Avoid direct sun and do not apply makeup over healing brows. Let all flaking fall away on its own.
Days 1–3
Brows look darker, sharper and bolder than the final result. This is normal and it is temporary — nearly every client is surprised at this stage.
Days 4–10
Light flaking begins. Do not pick, however tempting. Pigment lifting away with the flakes is part of the process, not a mistake.
Days 10–21
Colour appears to fade, sometimes dramatically. The strokes are still there, sitting under fresh skin that has yet to settle.
Weeks 4–6
True colour returns and the shape settles. This is when we book your touch-up and refine anything that healed unevenly.
PowderBrows
Healing your powderbrows
Keep brows dry for seven days — no swimming, saunas, steam rooms or heavy exercise. Avoid direct sun and skincare acids on the area, and let flaking resolve without help.
Days 1–3
Brows appear noticeably darker and more solid than the finished result. Expect this.
Days 4–10
A fine flaking begins across the shaded area. Let it lift on its own — picking is what causes patchy healing.
Days 10–21
Colour looks light or uneven while new skin settles over the pigment. Judgement at this stage is always premature.
Weeks 4–6
Colour and softness return in full. Your touch-up refines density and evens out any areas that healed lighter.
Lip Blush
Healing your lip blush
Keep lips hydrated with the balm provided and avoid spicy or acidic food for several days. No swimming, saunas or heavy sweating for a week, and keep lips out of direct sun.
Days 1–2
Lips are swollen and colour looks far brighter and more saturated than the final result. Both settle quickly.
Days 3–5
Peeling begins, similar to a healing chapped lip. Keep them moisturised and let the flakes come away naturally.
Days 5–14
Colour looks pale, sometimes almost gone. It has not gone — it is returning as the skin regenerates.
Weeks 4–6
True, soft colour has surfaced. Your touch-up deepens the tone if you want more, or evens out any patchy areas.
Permanent Eyeliner
Healing your permanent eyeliner
Keep the area dry for seven days and skip eye makeup, lash extensions, lash serums and mascara until fully healed. No swimming or saunas, and sleep on your back if you can.
Days 1–2
Mild swelling is normal, most noticeably the morning after. The line looks thicker and darker than it will heal.
Days 3–7
Fine flaking along the lash line. Do not rub the area, and let the flakes lift on their own.
Days 7–14
The line looks softer and lighter as new skin settles over the pigment.
Weeks 4–6
Final density and definition are visible. Your touch-up adds thickness or extends a wing if you want more.
Something not right?
Please just ask
If the area is painful, unusually swollen, hot to touch, or you are simply unsure whether what you are seeing is normal — contact us. We would far rather hear from you early.
Signs of infection need a doctor, not us. If you have spreading redness, pus or a fever, seek medical care promptly.
