Eyebrow tattooing after the procedure and healed. Permanent eyebrow makeup before and after healing. Where does care begin?

Tattooing is a procedure that many women have recently resorted to to enhance their beauty or, conversely, to make some imperfections in their appearance less noticeable. Discolored or sparse eyebrows, their irregular shape, scars in this area often become a reason to make an appointment with an eyebrow master. Another (often the main) reason for getting a tattoo can be laziness: applying makeup day after day sometimes gets pretty boring, and you really want to stop putting on makeup, but still remain attractive. A visit to an experienced eyebrow artist will allow you to forget about makeup for 3-5 years, and charming eyebrows will emphasize an expressive look and attract the attention of men.

So, you decided to get eyebrow tattooing and consulted with a cosmetologist. An experienced eyebrow artist suggested the best color to choose and chose the ideal shape that suits your face type. Permanent eyebrow makeup has finally been applied: what to do next? In most cases, the master will definitely tell you before the procedure how to properly care for your eyebrows after tattooing. But if you missed some points, dreaming about how irresistible you will be in a week, then we offer you step-by-step instructions for healing your eyebrows.

On the first day after applying permanent makeup, the result will not be quite what you might expect. Bright, sometimes absurdly eyebrows, pain, redness and swelling of the skin - this is what becomes the main cause of concern. But don’t get upset ahead of time: this is a natural phenomenon for the first day after tattooing.

Since the skin is pierced with a needle up to 0.5 mm deep to inject paint, which damages the epidermis, there is a risk of infection. In the first days after tattooing, the eyebrows may even bleed slightly, but more often ichor (lymph) is released. This is a protective reaction of the body that tries to prevent bacteria from entering wounds. Linerists (permanent makeup masters) recommend wiping the damaged areas with a soft napkin on the first day, without pressing or rubbing the eyebrows, otherwise the ichor will stand out even more, and part of the coloring component may come out along with it. Using blotting movements you will remove the lymph.

One of the options for removing ichor from eyebrows is to gently blot it with a cotton pad.

You can use a napkin, cotton pad or sterile cloth soaked in a special antiseptic. The following drugs are best suited:

• Chlorhexidine gel for external or local use or 0.05–0.5% aqueous solution of chlorhexidine. In Russian pharmacies this drug can be purchased at a price of 7 to 30 rubles.
• Miramistin solution 0.1%. Sold at prices ranging from 170 to 290 rubles per 50 ml in pharmacies in the capital.

Treating eyebrows after tattooing with a 0.05% aqueous solution of chlorhexidine will protect skin damaged after tattooing from germs.

For treating eyebrows after tattooing, any antimicrobial agent that does not contain alcohol is suitable, which greatly dries out damaged skin, causing wounds to heal much longer.

Rubbing should be done up to 8 times a day. This will help you remove fluid released from the wounds and relieve redness of the skin.

After the ichor is removed, care should be taken to eliminate the swelling. Unfortunately, this is not a rare occurrence after eyebrow tattooing, but with proper care, swelling disappears within 2-3 days after applying permanent makeup.

Cosmetologists advise using wound healing ointments. They can only be applied to dry skin.

• Rescuer is a balm based on natural ingredients, the cost of which ranges from 122 to 200 rubles;
• D-Panthenol 5% - medicinal ointment. In metropolitan pharmacies it is sold at prices ranging from 197 to 300 rubles per 25 g;
• Bepanten is a cream whose main component is dexpanthenol. Promotes rapid tissue regeneration. In Moscow pharmacies you can purchase it at a price of 400 to 700 rubles;
• oxolinic ointment is an antiviral drug that has a softening effect. The price of the product ranges from 27 to 36 rubles.

In addition, regular Vaseline also works well to soften damaged skin and protect it from germs and temperature changes. The product should be applied with a cotton swab or thoroughly washed hands, preferably disinfected with alcohol, using gentle movements. After half an hour, remove the remaining ointment or Vaseline with a clean napkin.

One way to apply wound-healing ointment to the eyebrows is to use a cotton swab

In professional tattoo parlors, experienced tattoo artists often recommend using Fougera disposable healing cream immediately after the tattoo procedure. It promotes rapid skin regeneration due to the presence of vitamins A and D and protects damaged tissues from infection. Finding it in pharmacies is not so easy, so before the procedure you need to prepare in advance for further care and purchase the necessary products.

To heal the skin after tattoos and permanent makeup, professionals recommend using Fougera disposable ointment, which promotes rapid regeneration of the epidermis

It is not uncommon to feel aching pain on the first day after applying permanent makeup. If you have a low pain threshold or very sensitive skin, then, of course, you shouldn’t endure the unpleasant sensations - just take one of the following painkillers:

Be sure to make sure that you do not have individual intolerance to the components contained in these drugs.

It is worth noting that rare happy owners of eyebrow tattoos complain of an allergic reaction after the procedure. However, if it does happen, be sure to inform your cosmetologist-liner, and to eliminate the first symptoms of an allergy, take an antihistamine (Loratadine, Suprastin, Clarotadine, Fenigil and others).

The main rule of the first day after tattooing: do not wash your face with water - wipe your face with wet wipes and avoid contact of your eyebrows with dirty hands. Apply all care products for skin damaged by permanent makeup using gentle blotting movements. This will be the key to rapid restoration of the epidermis. And under no circumstances sleep with your face in the pillow.

With proper care of your new eyebrows, on the second day after tattooing you can already notice that redness, pain and swelling have become much less. But how then can we explain why, instead of the painted areas finally starting to lighten, they seem even darker, as if drawn with a marker?

On the second day after tattooing, the eyebrows darken and a crust begins to form.

The fact is that overnight, ichor was released from the damaged epidermis, and with it part of the coloring component. It was not possible to remove it in time, and the dried lymph began to form a thin crust. There is no need to panic: this is normal. Continue with standard eyebrow care:

1. Gently wipe the damaged areas with an alcohol-free antiseptic once every 2 hours.
2. When the skin is completely dry, apply a special softening antibacterial ointment to your eyebrows.

Thus, you should take care of your eyebrows on the second day after tattooing in the same way as immediately after the procedure. The only caveat is that the process of regeneration of the epidermis actively took place at night, and therefore it is no longer possible to treat damaged areas of the skin so often: 4-5 times a day is enough. At the same time, it is still advisable to avoid contact of eyebrows with water.

It is also not recommended to go outside, especially if the tattoo was done in winter or summer: sudden temperature changes and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can negatively affect the healing process. But if you still need to leave the house, we recommend wearing sunglasses that cover your eyebrows.

The discomfort gradually disappears on the second day after tattooing, so you will no longer need painkillers. The same applies to allergies: in most cases, it stops after a single dose of antihistamines on the first day after applying permanent makeup.

Rule of the second day after tattooing: do not stop caring for your eyebrows, gently cleanse the skin and do not be afraid of the crusts that form.

So, when you woke up on the third day after tattooing, you were disappointed to notice that the appearance of your eyebrows had become even worse. The color now seems even more uneven, and the resulting crusts just want to be torn off. But this is not worth doing for several reasons:

1. Scabs removed unnaturally can cause bleeding and, as a result, infection in the wounds.
2. A strong discharge of ichor may begin, and along with it, some of the paint will be pulled out from under the skin. Imagine how uneven the color of your eyebrows will be when they heal.
3. The peeled off scabs will prolong the process of eyebrow restoration for a few more days.

Removing crusts that have formed on the eyebrows can lead to infection and even greater release of ichor with washing out of paint

The resulting “layers” on the new eyebrows protect post-tattoo wounds from infection. This is the body's natural reaction to skin injury. Remember how, as a child, a few days after falling off a bicycle, thick crusts would form on our elbows or knees and how the wounds would begin to bleed when we tried to rip them off. The same will happen with the eyebrows. True, sometimes it happens that putting clothes on over your head or touching a scab in your sleep can cause it to come off. There is no need to panic, but it is best to treat the skin with an antiseptic as soon as you notice damage.

There is another advantage to the resulting crusts: you can already start washing your face with water. It is even allowed to use special cleansers, but the main caveat is that they should not contain alcohol and dry out the skin - this will interfere with the rapid healing of the eyebrows.

You still cannot use decorative cosmetics in order to avoid infection in the wounds. Otherwise, eyebrow care should not differ in any way from the procedures of the previous day: treatment with an antiseptic up to 5 times a day and the application of softening ointments.

The basic rule of the third day after tattooing: do not try to rip off the scabs!

The period from the fourth to the seventh day after applying permanent makeup

On the fourth day after tattooing, the scabs will still bother you. You will have to be patient a little and the itching that usually accompanies them. The main thing is not to give up and continue proper eyebrow care, do not forget about wound-healing ointment and antiseptics. In some places that are least exposed to paint, peeling and peeling of the crust may already begin.

On the fourth day after tattooing, peeling of the skin and peeling of the crust may already begin

On the fifth day, the itching may become simply unbearable - this is a sign of healing of the skin. But we remember that you cannot comb your eyebrows with anything: neither with your hands, nor even with improvised means. The only thing that can be done is to remove the peeling crust in those places where it does not hold on very tightly. However, there must be an antiseptic nearby, and hands must be thoroughly washed with soap before the procedure. We continue to blot the eyebrows with chlorhexidine solution once every 3 hours, and then apply wound-healing ointment.

On the fifth day after tattooing, active peeling of the crust begins, accompanied by severe itching

On the sixth day, the crust from the eyebrows is actively removed. Many tattoo owners complain about the unbearable itching that accompanies this process. You shouldn’t bother your eyebrow artist about this: even if you can’t stand it any longer, that’s normal. To ease the sensation, you can lightly press on the eyebrows with a cotton swab, but under no circumstances should you comb them. On this day, it is better not to touch the crust at all.

The seventh day after tattooing is still accompanied by severe itching in the eyebrow area. However, for most women, at the end of the first week there are almost no crusts left. But peeling of the skin becomes more noticeable - the result of frequent use of antiseptics. There is no need to worry: this drawback can easily be eliminated with moisturizing creams, which you can start using very soon.

On the seventh day after applying permanent makeup, the crusts are almost gone and peeling of the skin begins

It is still prohibited to use decorative cosmetics and expose eyebrows to ultraviolet radiation. That is why you should also avoid visiting beauty salons and solariums. To avoid infection in wounds, you should forget about swimming in ponds and pools for a month. You need to protect yourself from colds: weakened immunity due to illness can cause inflammatory processes on the skin of the eyebrows and an obstacle to their rapid healing. That is why it is best to take a course of vitamins and minerals during the post-tattoo period.

If you have properly cared for your eyebrows, then the second week after tattooing should bring fruitful results. The most difficult stage is already over: the crust has disappeared, the boundaries of the eyebrows have become clearly defined, and their color is finally gradually becoming similar to the one you picked up in the salon. And although the tone will stabilize for another month, the main shade will already be visible.

In the second week after tattooing, the eyebrows acquire a more natural color, and the external stage of the skin regeneration process is completed

You can gradually start using decorative cosmetics and face creams, but the skin around the eyebrows should still be avoided when applying them. You can wipe your eyebrows with an antiseptic up to 2 times a day. Don't forget about emollient ointments. Sleeping face down on a pillow is still not recommended.

After two weeks of caring for your new eyebrows, you're at the finish line. And although the final healing of the skin will occur within a month, the visual result of the tattoo will not change. During this period, you will already be able to see the consequences of improper permanent makeup performed by a careless artist, or the result of improper eyebrow care. If in the first week the crust was removed mechanically rather than naturally, the skin in this area will be much lighter.

Consequences of unsuccessful eyebrow tattooing - uneven distribution of paint and spoiled appearance

In general, many of my friends, when they saw how my face had changed, immediately wanted to get a tattoo too. I think that says something. I repeat that the main thing depends on the master. And from you - care and not to mess up, without accidentally tearing off the crust.

The procedure is definitely worth it! The main thing is to find a good master, and you don’t have to worry about the result. Tattooing is a salvation for girls without eyebrows. For several years you don’t have to worry about the presence of eyebrows on your face.

Should I recommend tattooing or not? For me personally, this period was very difficult. If everything is really bad with your eyebrows, then it’s worth doing. But be very careful when looking for a master. Although here the taste and color... In front of me, one girl praised her tattoo artist, and I looked at her eyebrows and thought: “Who disfigured you like that?” The same girl did not speak very highly of my master, because she had seen pink eyebrows made by her. Thank God they are not pink for me. The shape is good. There are minor bugs, but we will fix them.

Tattooing can transform the face and make the look more expressive. Thanks to the new correct shape of the eyebrows, many people refuse to wear makeup - girls like the new reflection in the mirror so much. Eyebrow care requires regular care in the first week, but it is worth it, because beauty requires sacrifice. If you have been dissatisfied with your eyebrows for a long time, quickly go to a trusted salon towards your dream!

Often, immediately after permanent eyebrow tattooing, clients of a beauty salon remain dissatisfied with the result of the procedure, since it differs significantly from what was desired and there are reasons for this fact.

Immediately after eyebrow tattooing, their shape turns out to be not so graceful, and the thickness and color may initially upset you. But don't be upset! This is a completely normal effect for the initial stage.

If after the eyebrow tattooing procedure you are not satisfied with the resulting color, this can be corrected a month later, during correction

It should be remembered that permanent eyebrow tattooing does not give an immediate effect. In order for the eyebrows to acquire the desired shape and color, some time must pass for healing or, in other words, the eyebrows must “get over it” and fully recover.

Typically, the healing process of eyebrow tattooing after the procedure takes approximately 4 or 5 weeks and can be assessed after a month.

During the healing period, the excess thickness will disappear along with the crusts. The color of the eyebrows will also change, since the pigment does not appear immediately.

Don't forget also that permanent makeup, like any operation, causes superficial swelling, Because of this, the shape of the eyebrows can be distorted and full recovery also takes time.

Note! Before going to a beauty salon, you should definitely ask for reviews about the level of qualifications of the establishment and the cosmetologists working there. Evaluate the quality of service, compliance with sanitary standards, inquire about certificates for the provision of cosmetology services.

Natural consequences of eyebrow tattooing in the first week after the procedure

Permanent eyebrow tattooing is the pigmentation of the upper layer of skin - the epidermis. Like a regular tattoo, this procedure must go through a healing period, during which natural consequences occur:

• redness and inflammation of the skin;
• swelling and itching;
• secretion of ichor;
• the appearance of crusts;
• excessively saturated tattoo color;
• distortion of the shape and size of the eyebrows.

Note! Before the tattoo procedure, a professional, experienced cosmetologist will definitely inquire about your health, existing chronic diseases, blood condition and allergies in order to avoid complications. If there are contraindications, the tattoo procedure can be cancelled.

Complications arising after eyebrow tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing after the procedure and a month later, as a rule, does not cause serious complications or, in terms of the number of cases, they are very insignificant.

The most common case of complication is an increased allergic reaction, both to the coloring pigment itself and to the physical impact (piercing) of the skin.

Often, a tattoo artist recommends in such cases a course of antihistamines that relieve this problem or reduce it to a minimum.

Complications can also arise from improper care of eyebrow skin in the first days after permanent treatment.

Poor hygiene, washing with chlorinated water, drinking alcohol and using decorative cosmetics can cause severe inflammation, swelling and severe itching. The consequence of this, in the future, may be poor-quality tattooing with blurred shapes and the wrong shade.

How to care for eyebrows in the first 7 days after tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing immediately after the procedure and during the first week requires constant care in order to get positive results within a month.

In the first few days, ichor appears on the skin of the eyebrows subject to tattooing, which must be very carefully washed off with neutral soap (preferably for children), dried with a towel, gently blotted, and lubricated with healing cream.

Subsequently, when the ichor dries out, crusts appear on the skin of the eyebrows. The crusts should absolutely not be peeled off! Otherwise, you can get an infection, create wounds and the uniformity of eyebrow coloring will be disrupted.

The crusts must be lubricated with Panthenol, Bepanten or Solcoseryl creams, which promote active healing of the eyebrow skin and have an antibacterial effect. In the first period of time, to soften it, it is recommended to apply almond, peach or sesame oil to the skin of the eyebrows.


Important to remember! During the healing period, for several days after permanent makeup, you should refrain from taking hot baths, visiting steam rooms and saunas, as well as swimming in open reservoirs and pools with chlorinated water.

All types of exposure to facial skin during this period of time should be kept to a minimum.

What happens to eyebrows a week after the procedure?

A week after the procedure, with proper care, swelling and redness around the tattoo lines should subside.

At the end of the first week, the crusts begin to fall off and the preliminary results of permanent makeup are visible.

The color of the eyebrows has not yet been finalized, but you can see the uniformity of coloring of the eyebrows along their length. If the swelling has completely gone down, then the shape of the eyebrows, the bend and their width are already clearly visible.

During this period of time, the surface layer of the epidermis is actively healing, small wounds are healing, and the recovery process is underway.

What further care is needed for eyebrows after tattooing?

In order for the eyebrow skin to heal completely, intensive care and compliance with the cosmetologist’s recommendations are required for a month. They are simple, but must be performed regularly and strictly:

• Eyebrow tattooing both after the procedure and a month later requires hygiene. To avoid infection, the skin of the eyebrow area should be cleansed with lotions (not alcohol!), neutral tonics or boiled water.

• Do not rub your eyebrows with a towel under any circumstances, but rather dry them, lightly blotting the moisture.
• Use healing creams or ointments. In the summer, be sure to use sunscreen, and in the winter, use creams or ointments with vitamins.
• Protect eyebrow skin from excessive heat or cold.
• During the healing period, you cannot use cosmetics, you cannot tint or pluck your eyebrows.

What not to do during the healing period of eyebrows after tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing after the procedure and after a month requires special recommendations. During the week after tattooing, it is strictly not recommended to:

• when crusts appear, peel them off independently and forcibly;
• It is not recommended to try to tint or powder eyebrows;
• It is forbidden to wet your eyebrows unnecessarily, rub them with a towel or touch them with your hands;
• It is not recommended to correct eyebrows yourself, pluck hairs, or apply color with a corrective or cosmetic pencil;
• in the first days after tattooing, any thermomechanical and ultraviolet effects on the tattoo area should be avoided;

• It is recommended to avoid visiting the sauna, steam room, solarium and beach;
• When caring for facial skin, the use of alcohol-containing lotions is not recommended.

Be careful! Eyebrow tattooing after the procedure and a month later requires simple but mandatory rules of care. Failure to comply with these conditions can cause serious inflammation and swelling of the skin in the area of ​​tattooing, and subsequently affect the quality of the entire procedure as a whole and the need for repeated microblading.

What eyebrows look like a month after tattooing

A month after tattooing, the eyebrow skin is completely restored and now you can evaluate all the work done. By this point, all the shortcomings in the choice of shape and color become obvious.


Ideally, if everything worked out as planned, then you should say a big thank you to the artist for a good job and get advice from him on how to keep your eyebrows in this form for longer and discuss a schedule for correction procedures.

For a lasting effect, you will need 2 or 3 more visits to a cosmetologist, after which the eyebrows will remain the same as a month after the tattoo for a long time.

However, in rare cases, a month after the procedure, unwanted defects may appear, which are best corrected by your specialist.

Eyebrow care after a month after tattooing

After a month after tattooing, eyebrows also need to be looked after. To ensure that the contours of the eyebrows are not smeared and the color is stable, periodically, as necessary, it is recommended:

1. Depilation (plucking with tweezers) of regrown hairs that have appeared outside the pigment form.
2. Trimming long hairs along the entire length of the eyebrow with scissors.
3. Eyebrow tinting. Over time, pigment paint will fade, so touching up will be necessary to ensure uniform color.
4. In the winter season, it is recommended to use fortified creams for care, and in the summer - sunscreen to protect the color.
5. Tattoo correction in a beauty salon.

Interesting fact! The quality of permanent makeup directly depends on your skin type. On dry skin, tattooing is more intense and lasts much longer than on oily or combination skin. When carrying out the tattoo procedure, this circumstance must be taken into account.

When is the first correction necessary?

In most cases, some time after tattooing it is necessary to correct the eyebrows, since it is very rarely possible to do everything perfectly right away.

This does not mean that the master was not professional enough, but after healing some errors may remain or arise that are difficult to predict during the first procedure. All this can be corrected only after time.


Experienced professionals will always recommend making a correction in order to analyze the result of the procedure and the degree of healing of the eyebrow skin after it. Therefore, even if the appearance of the eyebrows seems ideal, correction is still necessary.

The first eyebrow correction is performed after final healing, approximately a month after the first procedure.

At this point, the surface skin in the eyebrow area, as a rule, has completely healed and additional actions can be performed without the risk of infection and making new wounds.

Note! Permanent tattoo makeup under different conditions can last from 1 to 10 years. If there is a need to remove it, this can be done in a beauty salon with a laser, 5 or 6 procedures.

Recently, the eyebrow tattoo procedure has become very popular among women of any age, as it solves several problems at once - to look beautiful and well-groomed, save time on everyday makeup and be “on top” at any moment.

How and over what period do eyebrows heal after a tattoo procedure?

What eyebrows look like a month after tattooing:

The procedure for permanent eyebrow tattooing is becoming increasingly popular among modern women. Women appreciate her wonderful final result - beautiful, well-groomed eyebrows, ideally shaped. And most importantly, they no longer need to be constantly painted or lined with a pencil. Women who have decided on permanent makeup should find out how eyebrow tattoo healing occurs day by day.

Some ladies mistakenly believe that the tattooing process comes down only to the subcutaneous application of pigment - then all that remains is to wait for the wounds to heal. But after the master’s work is completed, the most important period begins, and the result obtained depends entirely on the client. If the eyebrows are not given due attention, the result of the tattoo can greatly upset their owner.

The coloring pigment is driven under the skin to a shallow depth, resulting in the formation of small multiple wounds. Blood oozes from them, then ichor. This way the pigment can leave the hairs. To prevent this from happening, you must carefully follow all the eyebrow care specialist’s recommendations after applying permanent tattoo.

Important! Before performing permanent tattooing, the artist must describe the possible consequences and talk about the intricacies of the recovery period.

After tattooing, the client undergoes a wound healing procedure and is given recommendations for further care.

To make the healing process of eyebrow tattoo faster, you need to apply an application to the injured area with a composition that soothes irritated skin. These manipulations are carried out in the salon and can take several hours. After removing the applications, the skin with the injected pigment is treated with wet wipes. It is very important that the latter do not contain alcohol.

How to care for eyebrows immediately after tattooing

In the very first hours after applying the pigment, ichor will ooze from the wounds. It needs to be removed, but this should be done with the utmost care so as not to damage the crusts that have already formed. Use a soft, lint-free cloth (if wet, then alcohol-free) to gently blot the areas where the ichor is discharged.

You cannot press or rub your eyebrows; you must touch them very carefully. It is not recommended to thoroughly wash your face for the first three days after the procedure.

First week after tattoo

The healing process of eyebrows after tattooing and the falling off of crusts will take approximately 10 days. These days, proper skin care in the area of ​​tattooing is also very important.

The basic rules of care during the first week are as follows:

• You can’t pick or rip off the scab from your eyebrows;
• you need to protect your eyebrows from exposure to the sun, wind, and prevent dust;
• the crusts should not be allowed to dry out too much;
• Do not wet your eyebrows or apply decorative cosmetics to them;
• It is forbidden to remove hairs.

Usually, the salon where the tattoo was done will provide a special care cream. You can replace it with Bepanten ointment, and sometimes even with regular Vaseline. Before applying the cream, the affected areas are treated with an antiseptic (chlorhexidine and miramistin are suitable). Particular attention should be paid to the first two days after the procedure. You need to treat your eyebrows twice a day in the first two days.

Care during the first month

A month after applying the pigment, the client needs to visit the specialist again to correct the paint applied to the eyebrows. During this time period you should refrain from going to the bathhouse, sauna and solarium. It is recommended to exclude all manipulations that involve steam exposure on the face. You need to make sure that each eyebrow heals well and achieves the desired color.

Caring for healed eyebrows

When the eyebrows have healed safely and the crust has fallen off, you need to continue to care for the hairs and skin around them. To avoid negative consequences and unscheduled corrections, you should adhere to some rules.

After healing, the skin in the eyebrow area becomes soft and sensitive. This is why you need to include the use of oils and moisturizers in your care program. They need to be applied to the eyebrow along the entire length of the hair growth, gently massaging the skin around it.

Permanent tattooing weakens hairs and slows down their growth. Some experts recommend trimming them regularly.

Features of care depending on the time of year

Seasonality also affects the subtleties of care after permanent makeup. The rules for caring for eyebrows tattooed in winter and summer are slightly different.

Rules for eyebrow care in winter:

• you need to avoid exposure to wind and cold on your face for at least the first 10 days, until the wounds are completely healed;
• with the onset of cold weather, you should not wash your face or apply cosmetics to the eyebrow area when going outside;
• After being in the cold, you should not immediately take a hot bath or shower; temperature changes can negatively affect the quality of the tattoo.

Specifics of eyebrow care in the summer:

• You should not allow direct rays of the sun to hit your face, for this you should make friends with hats with a visor and sunscreen;
• do not use creams that are too greasy, they can disrupt the water metabolism of the skin and provoke the growth of infection;
• For the first three weeks after tattooing, swimming in water is not recommended, or diving with your head should be avoided.

What consequences can be expected with improper care?

Wrong actions or an unnecessary approach to eyebrow care can provoke problems with appearance and even health. The most unpleasant of them is infection. If hygiene of the damaged areas is not observed, the woman runs the risk of itching and various allergic reactions.

When planning to get a tattoo, you should consider the list of contraindications:

• pregnancy;
• high blood pressure;
• moles, warts, papillomas, etc. located in the area of ​​the intended tattoo;
• skin diseases.

It is very important to find a competent specialist in permanent eyebrow tattooing.

Before starting work, the master must carefully examine the client’s face and describe in detail the upcoming process.

Permanent tattooing occupies a confident leading place among cosmetic procedures. With its help, you can give your eyebrows an ideal shape and a well-groomed look. And the main bonus is a lasting, long-lasting result, because permanent makeup is the same as a tattoo. To prolong the effect of the pigment, eyebrows must be carefully and systematically cared for after tattooing.

When you went for a tattoo, you knew that after it it would not be easy: itching, burning, unsightly crusts... Now you need to make an important appointment and you want to be sure that your eyebrows will be in perfect condition by this time, but when will they heal completely? Will they become lighter? Is it possible to speed up recovery?

Immediately after tattooing

During permanent makeup, pigment is injected under the skin, so it will need time to recover. The stages of tattoo healing are the same for everyone, only the duration of the process differs. It depends on the sensitivity of the skin, the pigment application technique and compliance with care rules.

Immediately after the session, your eyebrows will look bright and unnatural, but you don’t need to be afraid of this. You will have to wait a few days until the healing process begins and the shade begins to lighten. The artist deliberately applies more pigment than necessary, since it does not take root completely. If after the procedure the tattoo looks perfect, over time it will become paler than you wanted.

Needle punctures cause the skin to become red and swollen. The eyebrows are painful to touch and may bleed a little. This is a normal reaction of the body.

How long does healing take?

Each body reacts differently to permanent makeup, so no one can say exactly how long it will take to recover. There are average periods that you can focus on, but in your case they may differ by several days, up or down.

Expert commentary

Avoid alcohol for the entire period of tattoo healing, it thins the blood. This means that the skin will take longer to heal.

At the first stage, lymph with part of the pigment is released from the wounds - the eyebrows become wet. It is necessary to carefully blot them with a sterile napkin or cotton pad. After 3-4 days, the ichor will dry out and form a crust that cannot be torn off or scratched - skin regeneration occurs underneath it. The crust will fall off without your help within 7-10 days.

Pigmented skin will appear underneath, but the shade will be much paler than you expected. You shouldn’t bother your cosmetologist about this – this is also normal. Gradually the color will become richer and the contours clearer.

On average, the skin heals within 3-4 weeks. By this time, all the crusts have fallen off, and the pigment has acquired the desired shade. At this stage, you can already evaluate the result and think about what needs to be corrected.

The recovery period lasts less or longer depending on the technique you choose:

1. The classic permanent heals longer than others. The master applies the pigment to the entire eyebrow, distributing it evenly - a large area is treated.
2. During powder tattooing, the eyebrow is treated pointwise, creating a shadow effect. The skin heals quickly because single punctures were made.
3. Recovery after a hair permanent is faster than after a classic one, but slower than after a powder one. The cosmetologist draws individual strokes without filling most of the space.
4. Tattooing with shading is the second longest healing time after the classic one. The artist makes the lines blurry using a special nozzle.

The shape of the eyebrows also affects the recovery time. Fine lines heal faster than thick lines. The same principle works with permanent eyelashes - the interlash line affects a smaller area than the arrows, so skin regeneration occurs faster.

The healing of eyebrow tattoos can be tracked day by day based on the reviews of girls who photographed the stages of recovery.

How to speed up the process

If you are not satisfied with the healing time of permanent makeup, there is one effective way to shorten it - follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations exactly. He recommends skin care products for a reason - they accelerate cell regeneration and prevent complications that will not only delay the recovery process, but also spoil the result.

Reminder for the healing period:

1. Antiseptic treatment - Chlorhexidine or Miramistin. At the first stage, when lymph is released, infection can enter the body through wounds. To protect yourself, you need to spot-apply antiseptic to your eyebrows up to 10 times a day.
2. Use of healing ointment - Bepanten, D-Panthenol, Rescuer, Solcoseryl. They will accelerate the regeneration of damaged skin cells.
3. Proper washing. In order not to tear off the crust, introduce an infection into the blood and not irritate the skin, it is generally not advisable to wet your eyebrows in the first days after the procedure. Then you can use only soft milk or tonic without alcohol in the composition. After washing, the face is blotted point by point with a soft towel.
4. Taking antihistamines - Suprastin, Tavegil, Zyrtek. They will help if the swelling does not subside for more than 5 days.
5. Applying moisturizers. Regular Vaseline or any alcohol-free cream suitable for your skin type will eliminate peeling that occurs after the crust comes off.

Pre-session activities

Even before the permanent makeup procedure, care must be taken to ensure that healing takes place properly. Think about what day and time to schedule your session. It is better to get tattooed at the beginning or middle of the menstrual cycle, when the pain threshold is highest.

Ideally, if you can sign up for a day before several days off. In the evening, sensitivity increases, so it is recommended to schedule the procedure in the morning or afternoon.

In order for the session to proceed without unpleasant surprises, the following rules must be followed:

• do not take antibiotics and blood thinners for a week, otherwise the intensity of lymph secretion will increase;
• Do not adjust your eyebrows manually for a week, since then the specialist will be treating already damaged, although not severely, skin;
• For 2-3 days, avoid drinking drinks containing alcohol or caffeine - they will increase sensitivity to pain;
• on the eve of the session, do not eat fatty, fried, salty foods, do not drink a lot of water to avoid swelling.

Before visiting a cosmetologist, you must take a shower, wash your hair, and carry out all non-aggressive facial care procedures. After tattooing, eyebrows should not be allowed to come into contact with water.

If you are planning permanent makeup for the hot season, you need to stock up on sunscreen in advance. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, the pigment will quickly fade while the skin has not yet healed. Think beyond suntan lotion to a wide-brimmed hat to cover your brows.

Before the main procedure, visit a cosmetologist, discuss all the nuances with him. It is necessary to test for allergies to the pigment itself and the products that the master will use during the session. They are applied to the wrist or area behind the ear, and after 15-20 minutes the condition of the skin is assessed. If it has not changed, then permanent makeup is safe for you.

First day care

Immediately after the session, 2 main problems arise - ichor and swelling. Lymph is removed with a regular dry cloth or cotton pad. You cannot cauterize the wounds with aggressive means, otherwise the tattoo will be ruined.

Swelling is the skin's reaction to injury. As it recovers, it will go away without your help, but if you want to speed up this process, try taking an allergy pill. If you drive a car, then choose a 2nd or 3rd generation antihistamine - they do not cause drowsiness or poor concentration.

If swelling does not go away for a long time, try applying compresses. Soak a cotton pad in a herbal decoction (chamomile, sage, string are suitable), squeeze well so that not a single drop gets on the tattoo and apply for 15-20 minutes. Make sure that the compress does not come into contact with the eyebrows; it can only be applied to the area around them, after consulting with a cosmetologist.

Further recovery

Eyebrow tattooing heals gradually. If in the first days it is necessary to treat eyebrows with an antiseptic and ointment up to 10 times, then the number of procedures is reduced. The skin no longer needs such extensive care.

If pain interferes with your normal activities, you can take one of the following medications:

• Analgin;
• Nurofen;
• No-Shpa;
• Ketorol.

When a crust forms, the use of antiseptic and ointment should be reduced to 4-5 per day. Eyebrows look brighter than necessary because part of the pigment has frozen along with the lymph and has not taken root in the skin. The tattoo can already be wetted, but there is no need to do this on purpose - the less water that gets on it, the better.

The crust falls off unevenly, the eyebrows look unnatural, “spotty.” The pigment is pale at first, so the contrast is even more noticeable.

You can’t mask it; you’ll have to wait until the crust falls off completely. At this stage, you need to use an antiseptic and ointment 2-3 times a day.

When the skin becomes the same, you can apply these products only once a day. During this period, you can already wash your face with cosmetics and perform gentle facial treatments without affecting the eyebrow area.

After the crust falls off, permanent makeup may look uneven in shade, and the shape may turn out distorted. This happens even when the master did everything according to the rules - the skin simply does not accept the pigment completely.

The result is corrected by correction. This procedure is always required - in rare cases, the tattoo heals as it should. But even if you are one of the lucky ones whose eyebrows turned out perfect, you need to go for correction to fix the color. If this is not done, the permanent may come off within six months.

A repeat procedure is carried out a month after the main one. It is necessary that the skin has fully recovered by this time. The correction is carried out in the same way as a regular tattoo, but takes less time. After the procedure, the skin becomes red and swollen again, but this quickly passes.

If you are not satisfied with the result of permanent makeup and cannot be corrected, you can make an appointment with a cosmetologist for removal. The most popular procedure is the use of laser. It heats and breaks down the pigment particles, which then come out. Healthy skin is not damaged. You just have to undergo from 2 to 8 procedures with a break of 1-2 months to completely remove the tattoo.

What not to do

To avoid having to contemplate an unsuccessful result after your eyebrow tattoo has healed, it is not enough to simply care for your skin with the recommended products. To prevent side effects, the following rules should be followed:

1. Do not touch your eyebrows with your hands to avoid infection. Apply antiseptic and ointment with a cotton swab or disk.
2. Do not sunbathe until the skin has healed, otherwise there is a risk of getting too pale eyebrows that have faded unevenly in the sun.
3. Do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool, or beach. In places with high temperature and humidity, the risk of contracting an infection increases. Treatment for it will delay the overall restoration of the skin.
4. Do not drink alcohol for at least 3 days after the procedure. It thins the blood, so more lymph comes out of the wounds along with pigment.
5. Do not use scrubs, peelings and other aggressive cosmetics. They will damage the skin even more.
6. Do not apply decorative cosmetics to your eyebrows. Even if you need to hide a too bright tattoo, you should not use a pencil or foundation. Cosmetics that get into open wounds irritate the skin and increase the risk of developing allergies.

If you do catch an infection, the swelling and redness of the skin will only intensify over time, and pus may be released from the wounds. Treatment must be prescribed by a doctor, since it is first necessary to determine what bacteria or viruses have entered the blood.

You also cannot cope with allergies on your own. The doctor will do a test to find out what exactly your immune system has reacted negatively to. Only then is appropriate therapy selected.

Permanent eyebrow makeup is a fairly popular procedure that literally transforms the face and makes the appearance more attractive. After all, beautifully designed eyebrows give expressiveness to the look, which means they attract the attention of the opposite sex.

However, doing permanent eyebrow makeup is half the battle. Then comes the healing period, and here patients often make mistakes, stop following the specialist’s recommendations and spoil the work done. Properly healed permanent makeup looks neat and impressive; make every effort to ensure that while the permanent makeup is healing, nothing happens that could spoil the careful work of the specialist.

How to prepare for permanent eyebrow makeup?

To ensure that after the procedure you do not have additional problems with caring for the tattoo area, follow a few simple recommendations:

• Before going to the salon for a session, wash your hair so that there is no urgent need to wash it when the treatment area cannot be wetted.
• Plan a trip to the salon when you have a few days off ahead of you so that you can stay at home and follow all the necessary procedures.
• Buy sunscreen with a high protection factor in advance, as well as sunglasses that can cover your eyebrows.

Healing permanent makeup.

Immediately after the procedure, permanent eyebrows look unaesthetic and may even shock you. But don’t be scared in advance: just wait the allotted time, and your eyebrows will acquire the desired appearance. It will be possible to make a final verdict on how successful the master’s work was no earlier than four weeks after the initial procedure.

During tattooing, the pigment is driven in very shallowly: from 0.5 to 1 millimeter; at such a depth there are no blood vessels, but only the smallest capillaries. The same goes for the lymphatic system. Therefore, the procedure will not be “bloody” in any case. However, a thin crust still forms. It is very important not to damage it and give it the opportunity to come off on its own.

Stages of healing of permanent eyebrow makeup

A competent master will prepare the client before the procedure for what to expect after the tattoo session. But it is not always possible to learn all the information orally and the first time. Therefore, we bring to your attention a detailed description of such a process as the stages of healing of permanent eyebrow makeup.

The first day

After your permanent makeup procedure, healing looks about the same day by day for everyone, if the work by the liner was done correctly. On the very first day after applying the pigment, your reflection in the mirror may not please you. Possible swelling, discharge of ichor, and sometimes even a small amount of blood. The permanent will look ridiculously bright. The skin turns red, pain appears, because although this is not serious, it is still damage to the skin. It is worth remembering that now you should not wash your face or even wet the tattoo site with water, or touch the damaged skin with dirty hands. Swelling and redness go away very quickly with proper care. Linearists recommend carefully blotting the secretions from the surface of the epidermis with a disinfectant wipe, avoiding strong impact on the tattoo site, so that the pigment does not rub or spread under the skin. You will have to remove the ichor and also disinfect the skin up to eight times on the first day. The best drugs for disinfection are: chlorhexidine, miramistin. It is important that the product does not contain alcohol.

To cope with swelling, you need to use special wound healing ointments. Usually, swelling, with proper care, goes away 2-3 days after the session. Use ointments such as: Rescuer, D-Panthenol, Bepanten, Oxolinic ointment. Even regular Vaseline will do the job. The main thing is that the ointment relieves redness, promotes rapid regeneration of the epidermis, and softens the skin. After all, one of the main goals in caring for a fresh tattoo is to prevent the formation of hard crusts. The crust at the site of exposure should be soft and sufficiently moist. Apply the ointment with a clean cotton swab or sponge with soft, light movements.

If the swelling is quite pronounced, then you should take allergy medicine.

If you experience pain after the procedure, experts recommend taking a painkiller: aspirin, no-spa, ketanov, etc. It is worth choosing a medicine to which you do not have an individual intolerance.

These first days are best spent at home, avoiding direct sunlight, sudden temperature changes and street dust.

Second day

From the second day, the permanent begins to darken, and the pain and swelling of the first day disappear. Crusts form. Over time, the released ichor forms a thin film into which part of the added pigment falls. In order for the crust to form correctly, on the second day you should continue to clean it every two hours with a napkin soaked in an alcohol-free disinfecting solution. And when the crust dries, you need to apply a healing ointment to it. In total, it costs 4-5 times to treat tattooed areas during this 24-hour period. On the second day, the recommendation not to expose your eyebrows to moisture, heat, cold and dust continues to apply. But, if you do need to go out, wear sunglasses that will cover your eyebrows.

Day three

On the third day, the color of the tattoo may suddenly become uneven, and the crust may become rough. Don't be scared, don't try to tear off the crust. The fact is that the pigment begins to gradually distribute under the skin, and the crust dries, so it becomes harder. Removing the crust risks the fact that the ichor may begin to stand out again, and along with it the pigment will come out, disturbing the applied pattern. In addition, by doing this you can easily introduce an infection and cause an inflammatory process. Carelessly removed scabs can even leave scars on the skin! Therefore, no matter how much you would like to get rid of the unpleasant layers, under which, moreover, the skin itches during the regeneration process, do not do this under any circumstances.

On this day it is also worth continuing care: you will need to treat the tattoo site with an antiseptic and emollient ointment up to five times.

Fourth to seventh days

During this period, you will have to continue to use an antiseptic and healing ointment. In places where the pigment is least deep, the crust may already begin to flake and flake off. At this time, the skin may be especially itchy. Peeling areas of the crust should be removed with clean, washed hands. Do not forget to treat the opened area with an antiseptic and ointment for healing.

At the end of the first week after tattooing, almost no one has any crusts left. However, you should continue to follow the recommendations:

• Avoid direct sunlight;
• Do not visit baths, saunas, swimming pools;
• Do not use decorative cosmetics and regular face creams at the site of exposure.

Second week

By the second week after the permanent treatment, the crusts will have come off. You can start washing your face with water, as well as using caring and decorative cosmetics, however, avoid the tattoo area when using makeup. At this time, intensive distribution of pigment occurs under the epidermis layer and the first results of the session will become visible. Continue to use the antiseptic and emollient ointment a couple of times a day.

A month after tattoo

You have done permanent makeup healing according to the days we discussed above. What will happen after a month? During this period, the pigment will finally distribute and acquire the desired color. After the same period, shortcomings or shortcomings of the made permanent become visible. It is after a month that clients usually ask for adjustments if they consider it necessary.

To get perfect eyebrows, don’t turn to self-taught experts. It's time to come to a reputable salon and use the services of experienced and qualified professionals.
