Aftercare

You, as the client, take an active role in how your freshly-done permanent makeup heals. The following are aftercare instructions we recommend at Mae Belle Beauty. If you have any questions during your healing process, please contact the studio.

The long-term results of your permanent makeup depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to sun exposure, your age, your skin type, use of retinol or other skincare products, and how well your skin reacts to and retains pigment. Clients typically desire a touch-up every 1-3 years.

POWDER/NANO/COMBO BROWS

Day of Procedure

Thirty minutes after the procedure, wet a clean cotton round with water and very gently pat the brows. Fan dry them
Repeat every thirty minutes for two hours
Brows may be leaking lymph fluid immediately after procedure, and doing this will help reduce scabbing

Days 2-14

Twice a day (morning and night), using clean hands, wet a clean cotton round with water and very gently wipe brows
Pat them dry using a clean paper towel
Then, apply a small amount of grapeseed oil. If it appears too shiny, you have used too much. Only use a tiny dab total for both brows

Things to Avoid

For the first 7 days, avoid getting brows wet in shower, sweating, going in hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, pools, and other bodies of water
Avoid direct sun exposure during first 1-2 weeks, and in the long-term be sure to use daily SPF on brows and wear a hat when in the sun for a long period of time
Scabbing might occur within the first two weeks. Avoid picking any scabs, and allow them to flake off on their own
Avoid wearing makeup on or around the brow area until the scabbing process is finished, typically after two weeks

Important Notes

Please note that after the scabbing has healed, pigment may not be visible, and color can appear “off.” This is normal and there is no need to worry about this. Color will pop up over the next few weeks, and it can take up to 8 weeks to see the true color
Also note that this is a multi-step process. The first appointment, in some cases, is just for laying the template. Fading and spottiness is completely normal and has no bearing on how you will heal after the second appointment. Pigment layers with each appointment. Any additions or adjustments will be made at your second session
The aftercare instructions are goaled toward minimizing risk of infection and aiding in pigment retention. It is ultimately up to you to follow these instructions in order to heal your fresh PMU properly
Please contact the studio if you have any questions or concerns

LIP BLUSH

Day of Procedure

Thirty minutes after the procedure, wet a clean cotton round with water and very gently pat the lips. Pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel. Apply a fragrance-free, medication-free lip balm such as Aquaphor
Normal swelling occurs after treatment and should subside within 24-48 hours. To help with swelling, apply an icepack with a sterile barrier such as a clean paper towel or take ibuprofen if it is medically safe for you to do so. Be sure to stay hydrated to help heal. Avoid irritation from salty or spicy foods for the first week. Use a straw while drinking for the first week (no hot beverages).

Day of Procedure Through Day 7

Keep your lips clean and dry of any fluid that may present itself
Lips will typically scab after a couple days and will be done with the scabbing process after a few days of peeling. Lips will feel super dry, so be sure to keep your lips constantly moisturized with a fragrance-free, medication-free lip balm such as Aquaphor

Things to Avoid

Do not touch or pick the peeling on your lips as this could lead to infection or loss of pigment.
Do not apply cosmetics, cleansers or lotions to lips for the first 2 weeks.
No tanning or chemical treatments until your lips are healed (4-6 weeks)
Avoid getting lip fillers 1 month before or 1 month after getting lip blush.
For the first 7 days, avoid irritation from salty or spicy foods, avoid sweating, going in hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, pools, and other bodies of water
No hot beverages for the first week, and be sure to use a straw while drinking
