Eyeliner

It typically lasts between 1 to 3 years. Longevity varies based on skin type, lifestyle, metabolism, and adherence to aftercare instructions. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain the vibrancy and definition.

Thanks to the use of topical anesthetics, most clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The sensation is often described as slightly tickling or tingling, making it quite manageable.

You can choose from various styles, from subtle lash enhancements that darken the lash line to bold, winged eyeliner that makes a dramatic statement. During your consultation, I’ll help you select a style that best complements your eye shape and meets your aesthetic preferences.

To ensure the best possible results and a smoother procedure, follow these comprehensive preparation steps before your permanent eyeliner appointment:

• Avoid Certain Substances: Avoid caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment, as these can increase sensitivity and bleeding. It's also important to avoid blood-thinning medications during this period; consult your doctor to ensure it’s safe to do so.

• Lash Care: Discontinue using lash growth serums at least two weeks before your appointment, as these can affect how your skin reacts to the procedure. Please remove any eyelash extensions at least a few days before your session to ensure a clean and accessible lash line.

• Eye Contacts: If you wear contact lenses, remove them before the procedure and bring your glasses to wear instead. Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 24 hours after the procedure to prevent irritation during the initial healing phase.

• Clean, Makeup-Free Eyes: Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes. The eyelid and surrounding area must be free of cosmetics, creams, or oils to facilitate the best ink absorption and minimize the risk of infection.

The entire procedure, including the initial consultation, design, and application, typically takes 2-3 hours. This allows ample time to ensure that you are comfortable with the design and that the application meets our high standards for quality and precision.

• Keep Clean: Gently clean the area within the first 24 hours to prevent lymph buildup. Use a damp cotton pad and pat carefully.

• Avoid Sweat and Steam: Skip workouts and avoid steamy environments to keep the fresh eyeliner dry and intact.

• Apply Ointment: Use a recommended healing ointment sparingly to moisturize the area; apply with a sterile cotton swab.

• No Makeup: Avoid applying makeup near the eyeliner until it is fully healed, typically taking about one week.

Yes, you can get permanent eyeliner if you wear contact lenses. However, you should remove your lenses before the procedure and avoid wearing them for a few days afterward to allow your eyes to heal properly.

Yes, you can, but waiting until your eyes have fully healed and stabilized before undergoing the procedure is crucial. Typically, I recommend waiting at least six months post-surgery to ensure your eye health is at its best and prevent any interference with the healing process.

If you have glaucoma, permanent eyeliner is generally not recommended. The procedure involves applying pressure around the eyes, which could affect intraocular pressure and exacerbate the condition. Prioritizing eye health and consulting with your ophthalmologist or healthcare provider before considering any cosmetic procedures around the eyes is crucial.

The recovery time for permanent eyeliner is generally quick, with no downtime required. You can expect some swelling and redness around the eyes immediately after the procedure, which is normal and should subside within 24/48 hours. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for a couple of days to facilitate healing. This allows the eyeliner to set appropriately and reduces the risk of complications.

After receiving your eyeliner tattoo, it's essential to understand the healing process and what you can do to ensure the best results:

• Immediate Aftercare: The treated area may initially appear red, and swelling might occur. This is a normal reaction. Swelling can begin right after the procedure or might become more noticeable on the second day. To alleviate swelling, you can gently apply an ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth to the area or take an antihistamine as recommended by your healthcare provider.

• Healing Process: Unlike other tattoo procedures, an eyeliner tattoo will not cause visible scabbing. However, it's crucial to keep the area clean and avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. Use a fresh cotton swab to gently apply any prescribed or recommended ointments.

• Colour Changes: Right after the procedure, the eyeliner will appear significantly darker and thicker than it will once healed. Don’t be alarmed by this; it is part of the normal healing process. Over the next two weeks, the colour will gradually lighten to its permanent shade.

• Follow-Up and Touch-Ups: A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled about 6 - 8 weeks after your initial session. During this visit, another layer of pigment can be added to darken the eyeliner, fill in gaps, or adjust the thickness according to your preferences. This session ensures your eyeliner looks perfect and compensates for any unevenness or colour lightening that can occur as the area heals.

• Long-Term Care: To maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your eyeliner tattoo, wear sunglasses outdoors to protect your eyes from excessive sun exposure. 

Understanding these aspects of the healing process will help you manage your expectations and care for your new eyeliner tattoo effectively, ensuring you enjoy your enhanced look for as long as possible.
