AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
AND ADVICE FOR ALL SEMI PERMANENT MAKE UP AND MEDICAL MICRO PIGMENTATION TREATMENTS DUBAI
For clarity all aftercare instructions concerning Dubai Semi permanent make up, cosmetic tattooing, micro pigmentation are available for referral on this website we have also included other important information. This includes Important Information, Procedural Advice and Immediately After the Treatment care.
These instructions and contraindications are given to every client verbally during the consultation and after the procedure in hard copy and by email if requested.
It is essential the newly placed pigment for wherever it is; eyebrow tattooing, eyeliner tattooing Dubai, lip tattooing, areola tattooing, cosmetic tattooing and all other medical tattooing, is not knocked, disturbed, pulled or picked at in the treated area, as it will result in pigment loss.
Remember you will have to go through three phases: heal, peel and fade. Picking and pulling at the scabs will pull the pigment out and your desired results will not be met. It is obvious to us when this has occurred and we take no responsibility for treatments which have been marred by clients ignoring the aftercare advice. Please note the aftercare treatment is as important as the treatment itself.
Normal activities can be resumed straight after treatment; clients often go back to work or out the same evening. This applies to all Semi permanent make up, cosmetic tattooing, micro pigmentation procedures There will most likely be some slight swelling or redness but this is normal and disappears very quickly. You may notice whitening or blanching around the treated area from the numbing anaesthetic this is quite normal and will subside within an hour.
The colour will always look darker and will fade up to 50% when the colour has healed into the skin and the scabs have sloughed away and fallen off. This normally takes about 7 days, eyeliner is quickest to heal. Avoid swimming, going in a sauna or Jacuzzi or a gym session after your treatment. After 3 days a light amount of Vaseline can be applied as a barrier and then continue as normal when completely healed.
Healing has three phases
The body has its own natural defence whereby it will create a fine scab to protect the area whilst healing.
After a few days the scab will slough away. Picking at the treated area as it heals will result in pigment loss and will affect the result. If it itches lightly dab with a clean cotton bud.
After the fine scabbing has sloughed away you will see a lighter colour to the implanted colour which is more realistic. After 4-6 weeks the colour will appear to take on a new strength.
Additional procedures cannot be undertaken until the area has completely healed. We suggest a 4-6 week healing time before further work is undertaken. Please schedule your appointment before leaving the clinic. Once the area has completely healed (6-10 days) consider using a sunblock to prevent the pigment colour fading. Strong chemicals or Glycolic/Acid peels may cause pigment to lighten.
Your procedure is undertaken using sterile products in a hygienically clean environment. It is your responsibility to follow the after-care advice given to avoid any risk of infection. Home care post procedure is of the utmost importance and we accept no responsibility if this is not carried out as instructed, as it WILL affect the result.
- You have chosen a procedure, which is not medically necessary.
- Micropigmentation is an art process, not an exact science, and cannot guarantee you an exact colour result, as colours heal differently in all individuals. The elected colour will be darker immediately after the treatment. This darker colour should exfoliate and lighten within 7/14 days. Lighter colours fade faster than darker colours, and all colours will change with time.
- SBS will use a Treatment Plan to keep a log of the colours you have chosen, as well as anaesthetic, and needles used, along with your pre and post treatment photographs. This information will be held securely in your Consultation Record.
- The skin type of every client is different and colour should stay visible in the skin for several years (and in some cases indefinitely). The pigment will be present permanently but will not necessarily be visible. A re-touch procedure will be required periodically to keep the procedure looking fresh. This is dependent on age skin type and colour chosen.
- After each treatment the treated area may swell or show redness and, in some cases, bruising, SBS will recommend how to take care of this. You may experience some discomfort but she will reassure you throughout and will endeavour to make you feel comfortable.
- Pigments are made from iron oxides and are not the same as tattoo inks. Further treatments may be required and will be charged at 50% of the value of the combined initial treatments.
- It is important to note that if you have an MRI or CAT scan you must tell the radiologist that you have had a medical tattoo. You may experience a slight tingling in the treated area.
- You may need to return for additional 3rd treatment before your procedure is deemed complete. For this there will be a minimum charge of AED1000. The payment for additional work – if applicable will be agreed prior to any work commencing. Additional work cannot be carried out for 4 – 8 weeks. We have to allow the area to heal fully.
- It is extremely important that you adhere to your aftercare instructions to ensure that you are not vulnerable to infection once you have left the environment of the clinic/hospital. If a treated area is accidentally picked, pulled or knocked, not only is it more susceptible to infection it may also effect the healed result and could appear uneven and require more work for which there will be a minimum charge of AED1000.
