eyeliner post-care
Please note everyone’s skin heals differently
THE MORNING AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE, APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF AQUAPHOR OR ARGAN OIL ON Q-TIP TO THE TREATED AREA AND MORNING + EVENING FOR TWO WEEKS. AFTER 24 HOURS, clean the treated area daily with mild warm water and non-alcohol soap. Apply the soapy solution on a sterile gauze and blot 4 to 5 times to clean. Then blot completely dry. Use patting motions only. NO SCRUBBING. NO RUBBING. NO WIPING. NO SCRATCHING. Make sure the area is completely dry because germs love moisture! Do this until healed.
Remember, place NOTHING on the treated area (except as directed above) until healed. This means no makeup, creams, water, etc.
AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE, your skin will start forming a protective scab. You may see fluid or ooze on the skin from lymph secretion. The fluid should be dabbed and blotted off with a sterile gauze pad. It can crust the skin over and prevent it from breathing and healing.
Immediately after the procedure, the eyelids will be slightly swollen. Because of the swelling, the eyeliner may appear to be much thicker and can be distorted. Also, the color will appear to be extremely dark. In 2-3 days, the liner will be reduced to the desired thickness and will be more even as the swelling goes down. The color will lighten as the healing process progresses. Full healing is complete within 4-6 weeks. After that, your final color and shape can be assessed and touched up if necessary.
Following the procedure, you can expect any of the following: mild to moderate swelling, redness, bruising and bloodshot eyes. IF THE SWELLING PERSISTS BEYOND 48 HOURS OR BECOMES WORSE, OR IF THE EYES BECOME INFLAMED (RED, ITCHY, WATERY, ETC.) PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. Please call us if this happens. This is a very rare occurrence, but it can develop in patients with extremely sensitive eyes
Please apply the aftercare product gingerly and don’t cake it on. However, try to cover the protective scabs completely. Try to put it directly on the scabs. The skin must be able to breathe to heal. Too much product may actually fade the pigment. It is specifically meant to put on the scabs and to keep them soft so they stay on longer. Pat, and do not rub, the ointment on the area with a Q-tip. If you put too much on, then blot off the excess ointment with sterile gauze.
You can stop using the ointment when you have no more scabs. This can last 4 to 10 days, but sometimes as long as 14 days. It is hard to say because people have different healing periods.
DO NOT USE SALINE EYE DROPS OR MASCARA UNTIL HEALED IN 14 DAYS. DO NOT USE OLD TUBES OF MASCARA. Replace old tubes with new ones. Old eye makeup can contaminate wounds.
DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES AFTER THE PROCEDURE FOR 24 HOURS.
SAMIRA BROW COUTURE DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE HEALING PROCESS OR RESULTS AS EACH PERSON AND SKIN TYPE VARIES.
