What you need to know about the recovery process
When someone is introduced to permanent make-up for the first time, they are often surprised to find that their freshly treated eyebrows look bolder and darker than the end result they had in mind.
However, this may be a natural part of the healing process.
Freshly shaped eyebrows are not the final result
After pigmentation, the skin needs time to regenerate. Immediately after the treatment, the colour may appear more intense and the skin may feel more sensitive.
As the healing process progresses, the colour gradually becomes more subtle.
Therefore, based on the latest results, it is not yet worth judging what the final eyebrows will look like.
What happens during the recovery process?
The skin regenerates as the pigment is absorbed.
Over the next few days, the colour of your eyebrows may change and the intensity may fade, before a more natural-looking result gradually emerges.
The process may be slightly different for everyone.
Why is aftercare important?
Proper aftercare is an important part of the healing process.
After treatment, it is always advisable to follow the instructions given by the practitioner and to avoid anything that might irritate the treated area of skin.
It is best not to pick at your eyebrows or remove any flaking skin whilst they are healing.
Powder or fibre technique?
The result of permanent make-up depends not only on the pigment, but also on the technique chosen and the characteristics of the skin.
The powder technique can create a soft, make-up-like look.
The fibre technique aims to imitate the look of natural fibres.
When choosing the right technique, it is important to take into account your skin type, your natural eyebrows and the result you wish to achieve.
Authenticity lies in the details
The aim is not necessarily for the eyebrows to look as though they have been „tattooed”.
A harmonious shape, the right colour and a personalised technique can all combine to create a natural, well-groomed look.
That is precisely why, before having permanent make-up applied, it is worth looking at the practitioner’s previous work and finding out about the chosen technique and the healing process.
Most importantly: give your skin time
It is best not to judge the results of permanent make-up immediately after the treatment.
Healing takes time, and the final colour, shape and overall appearance only become apparent later.
Achieving a natural-looking result requires not only the right technique, but also patience and proper aftercare.
