Aftercare Instructions🕵️‍♀️

Please always follow the advice of your artist or clinician first. The guidelines below are general recommendations for safe healing. If you notice spreading redness, swelling, pus, fever, or worsening pain, seek medical advice immediately.

Tattoo Aftercare

Permanent Makeup (PMU)

How do I care for my tattoo in the first 48 hours?

Keep the dressing on as advised, wash hands before touching, gently cleanse with fragrance-free soap, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of recommended cream.

What should I avoid while healing?

No swimming, soaking, or sun exposure. Don’t pick scabs or scratch. Wear loose clothing.

How long does healing take?

Most tattoos heal within 2–4 weeks. Full skin recovery can take longer.

Piercing Aftercare

How often should I clean my piercing?

Twice daily with sterile saline solution; let it air dry.

Should I turn or rotate the jewellery?

No—avoid touching or twisting, as this delays healing.

What products should I avoid?

Don’t use alcohol, peroxide, or harsh antiseptics. Stick to saline or mild fragrance-free cleansers.

Cosmetic Treatments (Microneedling)

Microneedling: Is redness normal after microneedling?

Yes, redness/tightness usually lasts 1–2 days.

What should I avoid after microneedling?

Avoid heat, sweating, and scrubs until healed.

How do I keep my skin comfortable?

Hydrate with simple, fragrance-free moisturisers.

What’s the basic aftercare for PMU (brows, lips, eyeliner)?

Keep the area clean and dry, avoid makeup, sweating, and touching for at least 7–10 days.

Can I wear makeup or skincare products?

Avoid makeup, acids, and retinoids until fully healed. Use only what your technician recommends.

Any special tips for lips or eyeliner?

For lips: avoid spicy foods and kissing early on.
For eyeliner: avoid eye makeup and contact lenses for 2–3 days.

Cosmetic Treatments (Chemical Peels)

How should I cleanse my skin after a chemical peel?

Use cool water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.

Can I peel or pick the flaking skin?

No—let the skin shed naturally to avoid scarring.

Do I need sunscreen?

Yes, apply SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun.

Cosmetic Treatments (Laser treatment)

What should I avoid after laser treatment?

No hot baths, saunas, makeup, or sun for at least 48 hours.

Do I need sun protection?

Yes, always use SPF and wear protective clothing.

Can I shave or scrub the treated area?

Avoid shaving or scrubbing for several days to allow healing.
