Post Procedure Care
Products Used for After Care Are:

1. HEALQUICK: This is the best of all the products used; it is used for the brows and lips, and can be purchased at studio.

2. LIP PROTECK: This is a great product for the lips it has 2% lidacain to help keep you comfortable during the healing time, and can be purchased at the studio.

3. AQUAPHORE: This is a wonderful substitute for the above; you can purchase it at any drug store.

4. EYE WASH: This is used to irrigate the eye area of any debris during the healing process, and can be purchased at the studio or any drug store.
EYELINER: Expect light to moderate swelling and redness for up to three days. Crushed ice in a plastic bag may be used the first hour after the procedure to stop the stinging. Sleep with head elevated, 2 pillows. Rinse eyes with EYEWASH as needed. Lashes maybe stuck together. DO NOT apply anything on tattooed area. DO NOT pick, let scabs fall off naturally. MUST use NEW mascara to avoid contamination. Two or three applications may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to lose up to 50% of the color on the first application.

IF AFTER DAY 3 ONE EYE OR BOTH EYES ARE BLOODSHOT CALL YOUR DOCTOR.

EYEBROWS: You might have slight swelling. Expect a thickness and/or redness for 1-2 days following the procedure. Apply Heal Quick, wait 5 - 10 minutes, with a tissue wipe firmly across each brow once off excess goo, 2x a day to keep the scabs from forming thick. Do this for the full five days of healing then apply heal stick only at night to moisturize. Keep out of sun for 7 days. After 7 days, keep sun block on to aid in the longevity of your tattoo.

IF SKIN ON FACE BREAKES OUT IN A HEAT RASH THIS IS A REACTION FROM THE NUMB SOLUTION AND SHOULD GET BETTER WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

L1PLINER / L1PCOLOR: Expect moderate swelling, usually 1 - 2 days following the procedure. Keep consistently moist 21 days with Heal Quick, blotting often to remove excess goo the first couple days. Keep out of sun for 7 days. After 7 days use sun block to aid in the longevity of your tattoo. After the procedure, the lips will appear to be brighter and darker than when they are fully healed. Scabs will make the lips feel thick. After 3 to 4 days, the color will become lighter as the epidermis sloughs off. It will appear that you have lost all your color; however, when your lips have healed completely, the dermal layer will gradually become darker. Two or three applications may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to lose up to 50% of the color on the first application.

IF AFTER DAY 3 LIPS ARE STILL SWOLLEN AND FEELING TENDER ALLOW THE LIPS TO DRY INBETWEEN APPLICATION OF HEAL QUICK, IF BLISTERS OCCUR, CALL YOUR DOCTOR TO GET ON MEDICATION RIGHT AWAY.
SCAR CAMOUFLAGE / AREOLA RESTORATION: Keep area away from water for 24 hours. Keep moist with AQUAPHORE for 3-5 days until sloughing is finished. Let air hit area often. Do not let it get dried out and cracked. No vigorous exercise for 24 hours.

IF THERE IS PAIN OR OSING YOU MAY NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR ANTIBIOTIC ESPECIALLY IF REDNESS AND HEAT OCCUR IN THE AREA.
YOU MAY WASH THE AREA WITH A GENTLE CLEANSER (SHAMPOO):
  Do not use any Retin-A or Glycolic Acids while healing!
Do not use Peroxide or Neosporin!
Do not scrub or pick treated areas!
Do not expose area to sun or tanning beds!
Avoid facials, swimming and/or whirlpools for at least 5 days!
Do not dye or tweeze eyebrows one week after procedure!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW POST-PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OR DISCOLORATION OF PIGMENT. THE KNOWN POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FORM MICROPIGMENTATION ARE: REDNESS; SWELLING; PUFFINESS; BRUISING; DRY PATCHES; TENDERNESS; IT IS NORMAL TO LOSE APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF THE COLOR DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. AFTER INITIAL PROCEDURE, THE COLOR MAY BE A SHADE TOO DARK; IN SIX DAYS IT WILL APPEAR TOO LIGHT. AFTER 10 DAYS, THE COLOR WILL SHOW MORE. IT WILL APPEAR SOFTER WHEN COMPLETELY HEALED BECAUSE THE COLOR WILL COME FROM THE DERMAL LAYER OF THE SKIN TO THE EPIDERMAL LAYER OF THE SKIN.
