For Permanent Makeup (PMU) aftercare, here are essential points to
follow:
Keep It Clean
Gently clean the treated area with a damp cotton pad
to remove any excess lymph fluid. Avoid using harsh soaps, and keep the area dry as
much as possible.
Avoid Touching
Do not touch, scratch, or pick at the treated area
to prevent infection and preserve the pigments.
Moisturize Sparingly
Use a thin layer of aftercare ointment (as
recommended by your artist) to keep the area moisturized. Avoid over-application.
Protect from Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and UV
exposure, as this can fade the pigment.
No Makeup
Avoid applying makeup on the treated area until it’s
fully healed to prevent irritation and contamination.
Limit Sweating
Avoid heavy exercise and activities that cause
sweating for at least a week, as sweat can interfere with pigment retention.
No Swimming
Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and saunas for at least 7-10 days, as they can
disrupt the healing process.
Be Patient
Expect slight redness and swelling, which will
subside. The initial darkness of the pigment will lighten as it heals.
Follow Up
Schedule a touch-up appointment if needed, usually
after 6-8 weeks, to ensure the best results.
