Semi Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare Everything You Need

Because of its excellent reputation, long-lasting results, and minimal side effects, semi-permanent makeup is becoming increasingly popular. You will get fantastic, natural results whether you choose our semi-permanent brows, eyeliner, or lips. Get rid of your morning brow shaping and lipstick application routine and wake up ready to face the day.

Although the quality of the consultation, treatment, and top-up appointments is dictated by the expertise of your chosen semi-permanent makeup artist, it is the client’s responsibility to ensure adequate aftercare is carried out. Taking care of the treatment area is essential for achieving the best results. Glitz by A.D Beauty has created a comprehensive guide to semi-permanent makeup aftercare.

Semi-Permanent Makeup Aftercare for Long Lasting Results

There are various methods for applying semi-permanent makeup, particularly brows, being a popular option. The process involves tattooing ‘hair strokes’ onto the brow, which results in significant skin cutting. Glitz by A.D Beauty’s Powder Brow technique uses a lighter touch, implanting the pigment into the skin rather than cutting it. This significantly shortens the healing process. It is normal for a small amount of bleeding to occur during the procedure due to the needle penetrating the skin, which means the treatment area will likely experience slight redness, and scabbing, and feel tender to the touch.

For the next four days after your semi-permanent Eyebrows, you may experience the following symptoms:

  • Minor redness,
  • bruising,
  • swelling
  • Itching and dryness in the treated area.

General Aftercare Advice

If you have semi-permanent lips, eyeliner, or brows, you will experience similar side effects, which typically include slight swelling, redness, and scabbing. Though this is completely normal, you should consult your doctor if they last longer than the timeframes specified persist for longer than the timescales mentioned. You should also look out for signs of infection or allergic reactions. These symptoms are common during the healing process.

1. Ease Swelling With A Cold Pack

While applying a cold pack to the treatment area will not completely eliminate side effects, it will help to reduce swelling and provide effective comfort. Always use a cold refrigerator pack rather than one that needs to be frozen. Your treatment area is already sensitive, and applying freezing temperatures to it risks complications due to frost damage.

2. Do Not Pick, Peel, or Scratch

If you only remember one piece of advice, it should be to never pick, peel, or scratch the treatment area. Scabbing and itching are normal; they indicate that your body is naturally healing itself, so let your skin do its work. Allow the skin to shed naturally, even if it does not look appealing.

Picking scabs, itching, or peeling dead skin will not only result in uneven pigmentation but will also significantly increase the risk of infection. There will be no scarring if you allow the skin to heal naturally.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure

It is strongly advised to avoid sun exposure on the treated area until the healing process is complete; this includes both natural sunlight and the use of sunbeds. As previously stated, the treatment area will be tender and delicate, and exposure to the sun will only exacerbate this and increase the likelihood of complications.

4. Keep the Treatment Area Dry

To get the best results, avoid heavy exercise for five to ten days after your treatment; this varies depending on the individual and the speed with which they heal. Sweat contains salt, which can fade the pigment in semi-permanent makeup. Because salt is used to remove cosmetic tattoos, you should wait for the skin to heal before beginning to exercise again.

5. Avoid Heavy Exercise

To get the best results, avoid heavy exercise for five to ten days after your treatment; this varies depending on the individual and the speed with which they heal. Sweat contains salt, which can fade the pigment in semi-permanent makeup. Because salt is used to remove cosmetic tattoos, you should wait for the skin to heal before beginning to exercise again.

6. Sleep on A Clean Pillowcase

The more precautions you take to prevent bacteria from entering the treatment area and the cleaner you keep your skin, the faster the healing process. With this in mind, we recommend sleeping on a clean pillowcase every night for the first week or so. If you don’t think you’ll have time to wash your pillowcase every day, cover your pillow with a clean towel before going to bed.

7. Avoid using Cosmetic Products

Do not apply any cosmetic products to the treatment area during the healing process, including makeup and skincare. Applying makeup, moisturizers, serums, or any other product to the skin risks causing a reaction against the pigment, which can lead to an infection.
