After Your Permanent Eyeliner Appointment at Ellebrow NYC
Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare - Eyeliner Tattoo Aftercare: Preserving the Artistry of Your Eyeliner
Following the captivating transformation of Ellebrow's Permanent Eyeliner in NYC, maintaining the vibrancy and precision of your fresh eyeliner is crucial. Key to achieving those captivating results is the aftercare. Let’s discuss the essential steps to maintaining your new eyeliner look.
The initial 24 hours are pivotal. At your appointment, we'll give you comprehensive instructions and provide all you need to cleanse and care for your eyelids for optimal healing. Your new eyeliner will radiate confidence on this first day.
Contact Lenses:
Expect minor swelling and some irritation during the first 1-2 days. If you wear contacts, it's recommended to use glasses during this period to prevent added irritation and discomfort.
Hands Off the Eyes:
Keep your fingers away from the treated area to prevent possible infections. Only touch your eyes when applying the provided aftercare ointment, and always wash your hands beforehand or use a Q-tip. While infections are uncommon, consult us or your healthcare provider immediately if something seems unusual.
Gentle Cleansing:
After the initial healing period, gently cleanse around the eyes using a soft, non-abrasive cleanser to remove any residual makeup or debris. Always pat dry with a lint-free, delicate cloth.
Hydrate Thoughtfully:
Moisturizing is vital for healing. Apply a dab of the technician-recommended aftercare ointment to keep the skin around your eyes hydrated. Only a thin layer is necessary. Ensure the skin doesn't get too dry.
Avoid the Rub:
The healing process can sometimes cause a mild itch, but rubbing or touching your eyes can interfere with the healing timeline and impact the final appearance of your eyeliner.
Smart Sleeping:
Try to sleep on your back during the initial healing stages. If you're a side sleeper, consider using a soft protective eye mask.
Activities to Sideline:
a. Water Activities: For the first ten days after the procedure, refrain from any swimming or sauna sessions. These can hamper the healing process and impact the integrity of the eyeliner pigment and increasing infection risks.
b. Limit Sweat: For about a week, reduce activities causing excessive sweating. Sweat, containing salts, can affect the fresh eyeliner pigment, disrupting optimal healing and increasing infection risks.
Protect Against Sunlight:
Avoiding prolonged sun exposure during the first ten days post-procedure is crucial. UV rays can fade the pigment and alter its hue. Consider stylish sunglasses or a hat for protection when outdoors.
Treating Your New Eyeliner Right:
Post-session, a bit of extra care can work wonders. Avoid applying makeup or skincare products near the eyes close to the eyeline for the initial ten days. This minimizes infection risks and ensures the pigment settles properly. When cleaning, use water delicately, avoiding full submersion.
Remember, each individual's healing process is unique. Always communicate with us and follow our tailored aftercare advice for the best results with your permanent eyeliner.
