How to care for eyebrows after permanent makeup?

Permanent eyebrows as a good substitute for traditional makeup

Permanent makeup is an excellent alternative to having to spend a significant amount of time on each, sometimes almost daily, activity to maximize our beauty.

It is definitely worth swapping the hours spent in front of the mirror for a single visit to a professional beauty salon. Permanent eyebrow makeup treatment allows for permanent effects (they usually last for about two years), but for them to be satisfactory, proper care is necessary.

Skin reaction to permanent makeup treatment

Permanent makeup is a micropigmentation procedure that involves inserting special pigments under the skin (but they do not penetrate as deeply as permanent, hard-to-remove tattoos).

Intense peeling of the skin (and with it about 20-30% of the dye introduced by the linergist) is a natural reaction to a procedure of this kind. Full recovery usually takes about thirty days.

The guarantee that the effect, which becomes apparent after this time, will be fully satisfactory (we are talking about the correct intensity of the color and its proper placement), is to choose a professional beauty salon.

What are the risks of postoperative complications?

Trusting a specialist definitely reduces and even minimizes the risk of unwanted effects. For the most part, the list of potential risks coincides with what we have to take into account when deciding to get a permanent tattoo.

By far the most serious threat is the risk of infection, the cause of which may be improper disinfection of the site, as well as insufficient sterility of the instruments used during the procedure. Choosing the right place (prepared in a professional manner, as well as enjoying the trust of previous clients) allows you to almost completely exclude the above eventualities, and thus derive full satisfaction from the effects of the procedure.

Deciding to use the services of an experienced linergist is also a guarantee that the pigment will be inserted into the skin at the optimal depth, and thus the makeup will last as long as generally expected.  

How to care for eyebrows after permanent makeup?

Due to the high likelihood of irritation immediately after treatment, it is necessary to protect the skin from a number of additional irritants. You should definitely avoid contact with all sorts of substances of chemical origin.

During the first week after permanent makeup, it is advisable to refrain from using products designed for traditional color makeup. Visits to the sauna and swimming pool will also be strongly discouraged.

Excessive exposure to sunlight will also not favorably affect the durability of permanent makeup. It is then necessary to take care of proper protection of the eyebrows - most often it is recommended to apply a good quality sunscreen (it is good if it will be a preparation designed for sensitive skin - remember that the area subjected to micropigmentation in the initial period after the procedure remains irritated).

Immediately after the permanent makeup, consuming excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages of any kind, will also not be advisable (of course, this statement is not meant to be a suggestion that excessive alcohol consumption is recommended in other circumstances). Adherence to the above tips is of considerable importance for the course of the entire recovery process (it can significantly accelerate it), as well as for the degree of durability of the effects obtained through the procedure.

Are there contraindications to permanent eyebrow makeup?

Yes. The presence of potential contraindications to permanent makeup cannot be underestimated, because carrying out the procedure at a time when it is not fully safe to do so will definitely have a negative impact on our health.

Above all, the condition of the skin in the area of the eyebrows is important - whether there are no moles on it, whether it is in a good overall condition, free of discoloration. Taking certain medications, such as antibiotics or steroids, as well as preparations used in advanced treatment of acne-prone skin, should also be considered a serious contraindication to permanent makeup.

People suffering from various autoimmune conditions, diabetics, pregnant (and breastfeeding) women, as well as allergy sufferers, psoriasis patients and those who have observed other types of worrisome skin changes should also not opt for the procedure.

However, there is no exaggerated reason to worry - the performance of permanent makeup in a good salon, as a rule, is preceded by a professional, detailed consultation, during which the presence of any unfavorable factors can be excluded.
