Aftercare eyeliner tattoo Melbourne

In about five days, the epidermis will recover completely. In the first three days, when the skin is fragile and vulnerable, it is necessary to take care of it using the means recommended by the master. After the skin heals, the process of pigment settling continues for about 2-2.5 weeks.

Immediately after Cosmetic tattoos, arrows are saturated and bright in colour. The shape is clearly expressed; there is redness and swelling. Edema independently passes within a day.

In rare cases, the swelling can be prolonged depending on the body’s reaction. If the node does not pass the day after tattooing, it is recommended to take antihistamines according to the instructions.

During the first day after the procedure, lymph fluid will be released from the skin. You may not even notice it, but it will be there. This is the body’s defence mechanism for traumatising the skin. The main task is to keep the skin dry. Lymph fluid should be gently wiped with a cotton swab soaked in chlorhexidine.

Chlorhexidine after eyelid tattooing is considered the optimal skin care product.  If desired, chlorhexidine can be replaced by other drugs with antibacterial properties. The master will tell you about them if necessary. Wipe the tattoo gently and gently, blotting the entire area with a stick. Do not rub your eyes, do not use a linty cloth.

Eyelid tattooing on the second day becomes more saturated. A brighter colour combines pigment and film left by dried lymph at night. During the second day, lymph is no longer released; if desired, you can use chlorhexidine 2-3 times daily to prevent the skin from bacteria and pathogens. If the swelling has not subsided, take antihistamines and apply a dry cold compress to the eyes. Wrap a cooled metal or medical cooling pad in a soft towel and apply it to the eyes for 10-15 minutes. About the probable causes of swelling, we wrote here.

 On the first day after tattooing, you can wash your eyes with cool water. But you can not wipe your eyes. On the second day after washing, you can very carefully blot your eyes with a soft cloth to absorb excess moisture.

On the third day, crusts appear, but they look light, with slightly noticeable peeling. At this stage, your task is not to damage them, not touch them with your hands and not try to peel them off yourself. Otherwise, it threatens to release pigment, leading to light spots and redness of the already vulnerable skin. During the peeling period, do not wear clothes with a neck; remove the fringes from the eyes if it touches the tattoo area.

We do not recommend using any healing ointments or creams. They have a greasy texture, lay a thick film and clog pores. We are in favour of natural skin regeneration, which, moreover, without additional means, is fast and painless.

 Until the moment of complete skin healing is not recommended to paint eyelashes with mascara, use eye makeup or any other cosmetic products, also under the prohibition of steaming the skin. Therefore, a long bath, visiting steam rooms, swimming pools and active sports should be postponed for a week.

On the fifth to the seventh day, the peeling comes off. The colour of the arrows will become lighter. But the healing process is still ongoing. Within a few weeks, the skin layers will be finally restored; the pigment will give a full-fledged sediment. Perhaps, minor flaws will appear, which will overlap the correction.

On the 10th day after the procedure, you can use cosmetics, wash your face with micellar water, and wipe your eyes with a towel. But it is better to postpone visiting the bath, sauna and swimming pool for a week.

After the peeling, the colour will become lighter. But during the period of deposition of pigment, it may change slightly, becoming either a little softer or a little darker. The final result will be visible 3-4 weeks after the first eyelid tattooing procedure.

A month after tattooing, you can perform cosmetic procedures. For example, lamination, eyelash extensions or colouring.

There should be no rough crusts if the technique is performed correctly and by the norms. The maximum that can occur during the skin recovery is a slight peeling, which is almost invisible. If rough crusts are formed, it can speak about:

• Unprofessionalism of the master. Improper execution of the procedure and strong traumatisation of the skin lead to frequent excessive release of lymph, which subsequently leads to very rough crusts;
• Improper or insufficient removal of lymph. If the eyelids are not cared for at all, and the lymph is not wiped away, it will dry up, and crusts will form;
• Rare skin features. Rarely, but there are situations when even the observance of the rules of care and technique of the master still forms noticeable crusts.

When thick crusts are formed, tearing them off with your hands is strictly forbidden. Under no circumstances should you try to peel them off, even if they are partially already coming off. After the crusts have come off, correction is likely needed. This is one of the few cases when discipline is mandatory.

In the case of eye tattooing, correction is not a mandatory requirement. But it can become a necessity if:

Want to refine the length, shape, and colour;

Individual peculiarities of the body. How your body will behave after traumatising the skin and introducing pigment is unknown. It can partially or entirely reject it, leaving the tattoo practically colourless or with gaps.

In the rest, to do the correction or not to decide you. But we note that discipline is not necessary for tattoo eyelids, as in this area, most often, the remaining pigment is 80-90%. Often correction is not needed.

The stages of skin restoration depending on the chosen method of eye tattooing are identical, but the time of its healing is different:

• Interlash eyelid tattooing. The skin heals very quickly. This is the most non-traumatic technique compared to others, as the master injects pigment into the area free of eyelashes. The skin heals in 3 days;
• Arrows and arrows with blending. In terms of time, the skin heals the same but longer than the intercostal. On average, 4-5 days are needed;
• Imitation shadows. The technique affects a large area of the eyelid. And although the pigment is introduced pointwise, it will take 4-5 days for the skin to heal.
