Proper care following your enhancement is necessary to achieve the best results. Please review the following instructions and refer to them as necessary. If during the healing process you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact us.

Aftercare For Eyeliner Enhancement

You may experience the following symptoms for 4 days

~Minor redness, bruising, swelling and tenderness of the eyelids.

~Eyelashes that stick together, particularly at night.

~Dryness and itchiness in the treated area.

~These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process.

Daily care to follow for 7 days

~Apply either a very tiny amount of vaseline a minimum of 2 times a day, using a cotton bud. Wash your hands before applying the product and prevent cross-contamination of the product by using a clean cotton bud for each eye. Dry healing is recommended and vaseline is used only to stop from feeling tight.

~It is advisable that you get an antibiotic cream from a chemist or your doctor in order to avoid conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis in relation to permanent cosmetic eye enhancement is however a rare occurrence.

~We recommend that you use a gentle facial cleanser to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face. Do however clean your enhancement twice daily with damp cotton pads.

~If your enhancement gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.

~Keep your hair away from your enhancement to prevent the possibility of infection.

~Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your enhancement as the colour may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring. Allow the colour to flake away by itself.

~Do not wear contact lenses while you are using antibiotics for the eye.

~Use your normal eye cream sparingly taking care to ensure it is not applied directly over your enhancement.

~Use sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and pollution.

~No makeup should be applied close to your enhancement for 3 days. A new mascara must be used after the 3 day period.

~Do not receive skincare beauty treatments for 5 days after the application of your enhancement.

Avoid for 2 weeks

~Do not expose your enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools and direct shower spray.

~Do not receive bleaching, waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to your enhancement.

Important notes

~Loss of some eyelashes during the healing process is a possibility. Lost eyelashes will normally grow back within a 4 month period.

~Remember, your selected colour will be stronger and more sharply defined for 5 to 7 days after application but as the healing process occurs the colour will soften and lighten.

~The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet.

~Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. This is the purpose of the re-touch visit allowing us to fine tune your enhancement. This is included in the initial cost (unless on offer), however if you do not attend your scheduled re-touch appointment you will be charged for any further treatment. Cancellation notice is always 48 hours.

Long term care

~If you are planning a chemical peel, eye surgery or a MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.

~Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for a year post application.

For the first 2 days

~Ice packs protected with fabric may be applied as necessary to reduce any swelling.
