SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP: THE RECOVERY

So you decided that conventional makeup was not for you and that lugging about several different tubs of multi-coloured creams and powders just lost their allure. This led you to do some background checks on a little something known as semi permanent makeup, which has been growing in popularity around the world. As you read more and more about it, it seemed to be the perfect solution to all your problems. From looking photo-ready straight out of bed every morning to appearing at every meeting looking like your makeup team followed you around, the list was complete. You booked in an appointment, got yourself semi permanently made up… and now what? Well, recovery of course. Which you need to pay special attention to.


IMMEDIATELY AFTER


The situation is similar to surgery really. It will look worse off than it actually is, until before the body begins to work its magic and heal. The pigment that has been freshly etched into your skin will be settling in so chances are it will look several shades darker than you would have intended although you should not worry. Over the next few days, it will automatically start to lighten although the process is gradual so you do need to be patient. Whether you have had an eyebrow tattoo Dubai or eyeliner treatment, this remains the same. You might also experience puffiness and redness, but this too should die down.


THE NEXT FEW DAYS…


This is the time it is going to get quite tough because scabs begin to form (after all, there are multiple little holes that are healing) which means that just as with any other wounds, there will be considerable itching. However, we have all learnt from our mothers never to itch wounds or the area around them as we could interfere with the healing process not to mention transfer bacteria from our nails leading to infections. On your knee, this is one thing but on your face it is a whole other story altogether. If you choose semi permanent makeup, you will have to prepare yourself for this period which can be a bit difficult to bear. However, you do get to test your self-control so that is something!


OVER THE WEEKS


Once the scabs have formed, when they are ready they will naturally fall off. Again, you are going to be tempted to pick at them, but you should not. Let your body heal on its own else you are only going to aggravate the situation. Frankly, whether you have had an eyebrow tattoo Dubai or any other type of treatment, you should steer clear of any chemical-laden products such as face washes, face scrubs and makeup (funnily enough). Do not irritate the area in any way if you can help it; if you have any issues make sure you call up the clinic and let them know about your problem. Never try to solve it yourself.


After the colour has settled in and the skin has finished peeling, you would need to go in just one more time for a touch-up. This will polish your look, giving you a well-rounded appearance. This follow-up visit is generally included in the cost so do not worry about having to pay extra!
