Tips after treatment

• Do not pick at the scabs. Leave the crusts or skins in place, it is part of the healing process. After permanent make-up treatment, the skin may swell slightly. This swelling disappears very quickly.
• After 3 days, you may rinse the pigmented area, which you care for with cream, once a day lightly under the shower or tap. But for 8 days after treatment, the skin should not be allowed to soften. So no swimming pool, sauna or solarium.
• External influences, sun and daylight, and skin renewal (every 28 days) cause the colour to fade. The lighter the pigment colour, the faster the permanent make-up fades. Avoid sunlight and always apply a high factor cream, preferably SPF 50.

Permanent make-up – medical tattoo fading

Over the years, medical tattoo fades. The sun, cell turnover and the ageing process detract from the colour. With medical tattoos, this is often slightly less because the skin is more covered (think of a nipple tattoo or a scar).

As a result, permanent make-up generally fades:

• UV radiation
• A fast metabolism
• Medication

Light colours fade earlier than dark colours. Eyebrows and lips need updating after 1.5 to 2 years on average. Dark colours like eyeliner fade after 3 years.
