AFTERCARE

General Guidelines:

  • Keep the Area Dry:
    • For the first 7-10 days, avoid getting the area wet, except when washing it.


  • Protect from the Sun:
    • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning on the area for approximately 2 weeks.
    • Once healed, use SPF on the area to protect the pigment and prevent fading.


  • Do Not Touch or Pick:
    • Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the scabs. This can cause pigment loss and scarring.


  • Avoid Touching the Area with Dirty Hands:
    • Always keep your hands clean to prevent infection.


  • Avoid Harsh Skincare Products:
    • Refrain from using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliating products near the area for at least 4 weeks post-treatment.


  • Avoid Steam:
    • For at least 7-10 days, avoid activities that cause excessive steam, such as saunas, hot yoga, and steam-inducing showers.
    • Heat and moisture from steam can cause the pigment to fade faster or migrate, leading to a less defined or distorted outcome.


  • Avoid Makeup Directly on the Area:
    • Do not apply makeup or skincare products to the area until approximately 14 days after the procedure.


  • Avoid Sleeping Directly on the Area:
    • Avoid sleeping on the area during the healing process to ensure consistent healing.
  • Touch-Up Appointment:
    • A touch-up session is typically required ~6-8 weeks post-procedure to refine the shape and color.

Specific Guidelines (Brow Procedures):

  • Blot Brows:
    • After the procedure, gently blot the brows every 30 minutes for the first few hours to remove excess lymphatic fluid.


  • Wash Brows:
    • Gently wash the brows twice a day (morning and night) for the first seven days.
    • Allow brows to air dry or use a clean paper towel to gently dry them off.


  • Apply Ointment:
    • After the area is dry from washing, apply a thin layer of ointment twice a day (morning and night) for the first seven days.
    • Use sparingly to avoid over-moisturizing, which may affect healing.

Specific Guidelines (Lip Procedures):

  • Ice Packs:
    • Use ice packs as needed to reduce swelling.


  • Blot Lips:
    • After the procedure, gently blot the lips every 30 minutes for the first few hours to remove excess lymphatic fluid.


  • Keep Lips Moisturized:
    • Use an ointment for at least the first 5-7 days.
    • Apply the ointment lightly whenever lips feel dry.
    • Avoid over-saturating, as over-application can suffocate the skin and delay healing.


  • Avoid Kissing or Friction:
    • Avoid kissing or anything that causes friction on the lips for the first few days.


  • Avoid Certain Foods/Drinks:
    • Refrain from consuming spicy, acidic, or hot foods and drinks that can irritate healing lips.


  • Use a Straw:
    • Use a straw whenever possible to minimize contact with the lips during the first few days.


  • Cold Sore Management:
    • If you’re prone to cold sores, take prescribed antiviral medication as directed by your doctor before and after the procedure. PMU can trigger cold sores in individuals who have a history of cold sores.

Specific Guidelines (Eye Procedures):

  • Ice Packs:
    • Use ice packs as needed to reduce swelling.


  • Apply Ointment (Classic Liner and Shaded Liner):
    • Apply a thin layer of ointment on the winged area.
    • Avoid over-saturating, as over-application can suffocate the skin and delay healing.
    • It is not necessary to apply ointment to lash line enhancements.

Specific Guidelines (Fine Line Tattoos):

  • Leave the Transparent Film Dressing On:
    • Keep the transparent film dressing on for 3-5 days.


  • Wash Gently:
    • After removing the bandage (after 3-5 days), wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap twice a day for the next 7-10 days.
    • Allow the tattoo to air dry or use a clean paper towel to gently dry it off.


  • Moisturize Lightly:
    • After the area is dry from washing, apply a thin layer of tattoo-specific ointment or a fragrance-free moisturizer (e.g., Aquaphor, After Inked, Hustle Butter, or similar) for the next 7-10 days.
    • Avoid over-moisturizing, as it can suffocate the tattoo.




These guidelines help ensure a smooth and successful PMU procedure with optimal healing outcomes.
