DAY OF TREATMENT!!

BLOT your lashline with the 6 HOCI soaked pads (pink) every 10 minutes for the first hour. It’s normal to see a little brownish on the pad and seeing nothing on the pad is also normal.

*what is HOCI cleansing liquid? Scroll to the bottom if you’d like to learn more about it

AFTER 1 HOUR:

You will now blot with white damp pad EVERY HOUR for the rest of the day, followed by a thin layer of Aquaphor healing ointment (once lashline is totally dry after blotting.)

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. Right before bed, cleanse eyes with the provided cleanser, pat dry and apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.

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, then do you eye cleansing routine as outlined below.

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 a tissue or paper towel. Once completely dry, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.

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 needs to be treated as such.

DAYS 2 through 10:

Every morning and evening, cleanse with the provided cleanser, rinse with tepid water, pat dry, then apply Aquaphor.

Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor ONE more time in the middle of the day.

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. On DAY 5, you may apply mascara to the tips only, do not let it touch your actual lash line and use a brand new tube of mascara. You may resume your normal makeup routine on day 10 as long as everything looks fully healed.

• 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!
