Aftercare instructions for Areola

 Pigmentation

​

Please follow these instructions after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of your Micro-pigmentation/ permanent makeup.

 

If you don’t follow these instructions, it can greatly affect your results or put you at risk for infection or scarring or loss of pigmentation!

Signs and symptoms of infection include, but not limited to, severe redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site. Discharge from site may be green/yellow in color and foul in odor. If any signs of infection occur such as Redness, heat or pain to the touch, weeping or swelling occur, Immediately contact your Personal healthcare provider, nearest Clinic or Hospital.

 

   You may experience slight discomfort after areola tattooing, rather like a “rug burn”. If you have little or no feeling in your reconstructed breast you will have very little tenderness.The area will begin to feel dry and tight as it heals and exfoliates. It is important to keep the crusted tattoo moist and covered for at least 7 days after your procedure to protect it and to keep the pigment and body fluids from oozing onto your clothes.

 
Wear loose clothing if you are sensitive. Sports bras or a regular bra will help hold the bandages in place. Use 3x4 nonstick pads and paper tape over the tattoo to minimize sensitivity. Wash the area gently with an antibacterial soap. Do not use abrasive clothes, let water run over it in the shower to rinse.

 Apply a thin coat of Aquaphor healing lotion to pad and apply to the tattooed area. Change bandages at least in the morning and evening for 24-48hrs. Once there is no bleeding or discharge from the tattoo you can leave it uncovered for a few hours in the evening.
Do not:

 Sleep on your stomach to protect the area.Over the first 2 weeks you will have a flaking of thetattoo, this is normal; just keep it moist using a thin coat of Aquaphor. You may experience slight itching as it heals but try not to scratch as this can reopen the wound and cause infection.

 
Do not swim, sunbathe, or be in the ocean for 2-3 weeks or until completely healed.

Your areolas will appear darker immediately after the procedure but will lighten as they heal.
If you have any redness around the tattoo area after 48 hrs. Call your doctor, as you may need to use an antibiotic cream.

 

                             Q & A

• Why do I need a touch up?

Skin can be an unpredictable canvas, and retention can vary from person to person. Touch ups are necessary to visibly assess how your color looks healed , and gauge how the look is meeting your personal expectations. You may need several touchups, jealousy cannot guarantee 

Any results especially lips if you have fillers in the lips as the pigment is absorbed into it and can give a patchy appearance.

 

• How long does it last? 

The pigment can last for up to 1 - 3 years. Lighter colors will fade faster than the darker colors. It's all depending on your lifestyle and skin type -  each body is so unique! To maintain your permanent makeup, touch ups are recommended every 10 months to 2 years.

 

 

• Does it hurt? 

We use strong topical anesthetic used to numb before and during procedure for your comfort. However sensitivity differs from person to person. Please do not take any blood thinners such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin 24 hours before your procedure.

Do you shave off my eyebrows? 

NO! Although we sometimes clean up around the brow, and change the shape if needed, we keep the brow hair where they are for the most natural outcome. 

 

 

• Do I book for just a touch-up if I've had permanent makeup done somewhere else?

No! If you're a new client to our studio, you have to book as a new brow appointment. If you have previous work that needs to be covered, you have to email us a clear photo to make sure we are comfortable enough to take on the job. Please contact us for more information if you're looking for us to work over previous tattoo.

No! We will not tattoo anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Can I Bring a Friend or Family member to my appointment?

Yes, but not into the treatment area. CDC and OSHA guidelines will not allow any observers in the procedure area during the procedure process.

If you don’t bring someone with you and WE find it difficult to communicate, we will have to reschedule and you will forfeit your deposit.
