Permanent Makeup: Before and Aftercare Guide

A permanent makeup result depends on more than the appointment itself. Preparation, hygienic practice, personal planning and aftercare all matter.

What should be discussed beforehand?

Explain the shape and colour you expect, previous applications, allergies, regular medication and sensitivity. The practitioner may postpone the service or request medical guidance when suitability is uncertain.

Pre-design and colour selection

Facial proportions guide brow work, natural boundaries guide lip work and eye structure guides eyeliner planning. Colour may appear stronger during the first days and should be assessed after healing.

General aftercare approach

• Avoid unnecessary touching.
• Do not pick flaking skin.
• Follow the cleaning and care instructions provided.
• Avoid pools, saunas and strong sun for the recommended period.

Is a refinement appointment necessary?

Colour retention varies with skin and healing. Any need for refinement should be assessed only after the area has fully settled.

A short decision checklist

Ask about hygiene, relevant experience, each step of the service and the support available afterwards. A personal suitability assessment and a realistic conversation about outcomes are essential parts of responsible care.
