DAY OF TREATMENT!!

BLOT your lashline with the HOCI soaked pad every 10 minutes for the first hour. It’s normal to see a little pinkish/brownish on the pad. 

*Scroll down to learn more about HOCI cleansing liquid and why we use it in our aftercare!

AFTER 1 HOUR:

You will now blot with damp pad every hour for the rest of the day. 

You may keep the bag w/ damp pad in the fridge if you want the extra soothing of the pad being cool.

Throw the damp pad away after your last blot of the day.

Do your best to sleep on your back for the next week. Change out your pillow case.

CLEANSING YOUR FACE & KEEPING BACTERIA AWAY:

During this 7-10 day healing process, cleanse your face in the sink, not in the shower. You may choose before or after your shower. Cleanse as normal but avoid eye area.

During this time, please do not use a cleanser (at least near the eye area) with active ingredients such as salicylic or glycolic acid. Pretty much anything that is to treat acne or strong anti-aging most likely have ingredients you should avoid. Please feel free to send me a pic of the ingredients list if you are unsure. 

After cleansing, rinse with TEPID or COOL water. 

You may dry your face with whatever you would normally dry with but PAT DRY your eyes with something clean and disposable such as cotton round, tissue or paper towel. Once completely dry, apply the HOCI cleansing liquid and fan or air dry.

Do your best to sleep on your back for the next week. Change out your pillow case (incase eyes touch pillow). Be extra aware of absent minded touching of the eyes. Don’t rub your eyes.

Always keep in mind, your lashline is an open wound for the first few days and need to be treated as such.

DAYS 2 through 4:

WITH CLEAN HANDS, apply a drop or 2 of HOCI healing liquid (dropper bottle) to one of the provided applicators and dab brows 3 times daily. 

You may apply a small drop of the provided grapeseed oil ONCE a day ONLY if your lashline feels EXTREMELY dry and uncomfortable. If not, do not use oil during this time. You can apply with a clean, dry finger and dab across.

Days 5 through 10:

Continue with the same routine you’ve been doing, only now you will add a tiny drop of the provided grapeseed oil morning & night. You may apply with your finger as long as your hands are clean. Do this AFTER you apply the HOCI healing liquid and it has completely dried (fan dry with hand or air dry). You can now apply the HOCI with a cotton swab.

Things to avoid during first 7-10 Days of Healing:

• Do not pick, scratch or peel the healing area.

• Do not apply any make-up or skincare products on eye area. 

• Avoid sleeping on the face. 

• Avoid direct sun exposure. 

• Avoid working out to prevent sweating.

• Avoid direct shower spray on eyes for at least 7-10 days or until healed.

• Avoid facial massage, facial steaming, sauna, hot tubs, long hot showers, long hot baths, ANYTHING that can make you sweat. 

• Once ALL the peeling and flaking is totally done, you can go back to your normal skincare and makeup routine.

  In The Next 30 Days:

Avoid sunbathing (natural or tanning bed), light therapies, chemical peels, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, and creams that increase cell turnover such as acids & retinols. 

Always & forever avoid laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel Laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

What to expect during the healing process:

•Day 1 Dark and swollen 

•Day 2 slightly darker, possibly slightly swollen 

•Day 3 No longer swollen

•Day 4-6 flaking/peeling begins and should be done between days 7-10. Following proper aftercare on day one will prevent scabbing. Do not pick or pull at flaking!! Your lashline may look patchy. This is normal during this phase.

•After flaking phase is done, a “ghosting phase” happens because the top layer of the skin is healed but bottom layers are not yet. White blood cells have rushed to the area to heal and a thicker, more opaque layer of skin is on top of the pigment that is now in the lower layers of skin, making the tattoo look lighter.

•Day 30-35 you are fully healed!

It is normal for them to look too light after fully healed from initial appt. We will perfect them at your Touchup!
