Pain Preparation

PMU (permanent makeup) can be an uncomfortable procedure. However, there are great numbing solutions that can be used for comfort throughout your procedure.

Post Procedure:

There will be an epithelial crust that forms in the days following the procedure. This crust is a combination of dried pigment and plasma that forms externally. It is important that you do not pick it. Picking the crust will result in a loss of pigment. The crust will fall off naturally within a few days. For the first few days following the procedure, the area will feel similar to that of a sunburn.

While healing avoid long hot showers, cleansers, exfoliants, Botox, facials, peels, sweaty exercise, direct sunlight, sun beds, sauna, steam rooms. No makeup, topical products. While showering avoid getting your procedure area wet.

Follow This Daily Regime
  • Do not touch the treated area unless applying ointment. No scratching, rubbing, or picking of the treated area
  • Keep the area clean.
  • Be cautious around the area (such as pulling clothing over your head)
  • Do not apply makeup on treated area until healed
  • Apply ointment 1 – 2 times a day on treated area until peeling comes off; normally 5 to 7 days. (Again, do not peel the area yourself, let this fall off naturally). THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU ARE ADVISED TO USE OINTMENT
  • Your procedure will begin to oxidize immediately. This causes the pigment to become darker. Do not be alarmed it will lighten
  • It will scab, please do not be alarmed
  • After scabbing is complete color may appear more faint, do not be alarmed it will return
