Eyebrow tattooing not only provides you with a spectacular transformation, but also significantly saves the time you usually spend on makeup. In order to get a long-term and pleasing result, you need to be able to properly care for your skin after the procedure. In this article, we looked at what you need to apply to your eyebrows after tattooing, and also looked at possible mistakes and how to avoid them while the tissue is healing.

General rules of care

Permanent makeup is a procedure that requires careful care for three to ten days after its implementation. Immediately after the session, the skin swells and becomes inflamed. Cosmetologists recommend using products that accelerate skin regeneration.

The first stage is to carry out a thorough disinfection. Running water or simple soap will not protect you from bacteria. Typically, Chlorhexidine or Miramistin are used for disinfection. Research confirms that both drugs are effective antiseptics. True, Chlorhexidine and its analogues have a significant drawback - excessive drying.

The second element in eyebrow care after tattooing is applying a cream, gel or ointment containing panthenol. Thanks to the active substance dexpanthenol, damaged skin is healed, deeply nourished and softened.

Why you need to smear your eyebrows after tattooing:

1. At the point where the needle touches, ichor is formed - a substance secreted as a result of the protective reaction of the skin. After the ichor dries, a crust appears. It disappears after 4-5 days, but this process will be accelerated by a suitable medication.
2. During healing, there is a high chance of swelling or allergies.
3. Wound healing ointments are effective against cracks and possible scars.
4. If eyebrow care was chosen correctly, the crusts will quickly disappear, and the introduced pigment will retain color and brightness.

Normally, the regeneration period lasts no more than 10 days, which means that the use of healing agents is permissible during this period. It is enough to apply the necessary preparations in a thin layer for about 4-5 days several times a day until the dry crusts completely fall off.

Do I need to treat my eyebrows immediately after the procedure?

After tattooing, swelling and redness appear, and ichor is released. This is a normal reaction to damage to the skin. However, a prolonged inflammatory process leads to a decrease in pigment concentration, lightening or uneven coloring.

To improve eyebrow healing, the first 2 days of tattooing should be smeared with antiseptic agents:

1. "Chlorhexidine" is used to treat wounds, accelerates the healing process, and has bactericidal and antifungal properties. You can’t smear it on for a long period after tattooing, it causes dry skin on the eyebrows, discomfort, and allergic reactions. If it gets on the mucous membrane of the eye, it causes a severe burn. It is necessary to rinse the eye with plenty of water and consult an ophthalmologist.
2. Miramistin eliminates fungal, bacterial and viral infections. Does not cause adverse reactions after use, there are no contraindications after tattooing.

Bactericidal solutions disinfect the surface of the skin and protect against infections and bacteria entering wounds. Apply with a cotton pad or cotton swab to the surface of the eyebrows after every 2-3 hours. Before application, remove the ichor using a napkin or cotton pad.

Effective remedies

Sometimes, after completing the procedure, the cosmetologist himself gives a tube of a substance that will be applied to the irritated skin for the next few days. If the master did not give recommendations and a ready-made remedy, you need to choose it yourself.

First, evaluate the structure and individual characteristics of the skin (standard reaction to medications, healing rate and tendency to develop allergies). Almond, peach, sesame oil, Vaseline, and 3% Tetracycline ointment are considered safe for everyone. The latter fights infections by gently affecting the upper layers of the skin. It should be used with caution, especially for pregnant women and people with kidney disease. It is useful to smear your eyebrows with ordinary Vaseline - it has no side effects such as itching and irritation.

Doctors and cosmetologists advise using Methyluracil ointment, Levomekol, Actovegin. Similar products are Rescuer, Solcoseryl, Hydrocortisone cream. Applying regular chapstick or calendula oil to the damaged areas helps. The most important thing is to make sure that the skin in these places does not remain dry. It is more convenient to lubricate not with your fingers, but with a cotton swab.

Improper care will cause inflammation, pigment discoloration, prolonged swelling and an allergic reaction.

Bepanten

A popular ancient remedy in the fight against dryness and irritation of the skin. The active ingredient is dexpanthenol. The component penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin and causes its natural restoration. Available in the form of a cream or ointment, tube volumes range from 30 to 100 g. Bepanten is applied after eyebrow tattooing in a thin layer 2-3 times a day.

Advantages:

• stimulates independent restoration of the epidermis;
• deep hydration;
• saturation and nutrition are provided by provitamin B5;
• prevention of itching, redness, allergies;
• maintaining the natural protective barrier of the skin.

Decorative cosmetics

After a permanent makeup session, the result usually does not look very pleasant. To hide eyebrows that are too bright, as if drawn with a felt-tip pen, girls decide to disguise them with a layer of foundation, powder or eye shadow.

You can't do this. The skin is damaged, and the entry of such products into the blood can lead to unpredictable consequences, ranging from allergies to pigment rejection. The situation can be corrected only after the tattoo has completely healed, but usually this is not required, since the paint takes on a natural shade.

The use of scrubs, peelings and gommages is also prohibited. Even if acne appears on the skin, you should not make an appointment with a cosmetologist or clean it yourself. Until the eyebrows have recovered from the permanent treatment, only mild cleansers without aggressive substances can be applied to the face.

Solcoseryl

The main active ingredient is an extract of the blood of dairy calves, devoid of protein (deprotein). Among the auxiliary elements are fats, petroleum jelly, cetyl alcohol. The rich complex accelerates tissue metabolism and increases the degree of skin regeneration. It is advisable to smear Solcoseryl at least 3 times a day until the crust is completely healed after a fresh drawing. Advantages:

• eliminates dryness and redness;
• quickly regenerates the upper layers of the skin;
• softening and complex nutrition;
• eliminating itching;
• does not leave scars after the procedure.

Flaws:

• does not disinfect the wound;
• affects the quality of the coloring pigment.

Correction

A month after tattooing, correction is carried out. It can be used to restore the faded color of the pigment and correct imperfections that may have appeared after the crusts fell off. The need for correction can be seen in the before and after photos - the drawing turns out more saturated and neat.

If complete tattoo removal is required, the laser method is usually used. Over several months, the pigment is removed from the skin layer by layer. The procedure is prescribed if the shape of the eyebrows is fundamentally incorrect, or if the shade has changed to bluish or pinkish. The laser heats the pigment particles and destroys them.

Rescuer

Balm “Rescuer” is another effective remedy with an antiseptic effect. This is a natural product and does not contain any chemicals. The main components are active essential oils, vitamins, sea buckthorn oil, beeswax, propolis, etc. It can be applied in a fairly thick layer to the area injured by tattooing.

Advantages:

• accelerates healing;
• does not contain hormones and antibiotics;
• there is an active bactericidal effect;
• The oils in the balm soften the skin.

Flaws:

• causes an allergic reaction and irritation;
• greasy consistency and unpleasant odor.

Reviews

“I didn’t like the smell, but I smeared myself with it constantly, waiting for the crust to come off. The redness went away quite quickly, I liked the result.” (Yulia. 23 years old, Vladivostok)

“I will definitely buy this miracle product for my first aid kit! Scars after tattooing heal much faster.” (Natalia. 28 years old, Kursk)

How long does it last?

If powder coating is not corrected periodically, the mineral pigment will completely dissolve in 1.5-2 years. And this is also an undoubted advantage of the procedure - if you don’t like nanospraying, you can next time choose a different method of changing your appearance. The correction will allow you to enjoy your renewed eyebrows for up to 5 years.

The speed of pigment lightening depends not only on its quality, but also on a number of other factors:

• Type of skin. On oily skin, the color will lighten faster.
• Age. The older the client, the longer the brightness of the smoky coating will remain.
• Immunity states. The better the body’s defense works, the sooner it will cope with the removal of pigment.

Actovegin

The main active agent, as in the case of Solcoseryl, is hemodiasate from dairy calves. Available in the form of ointment, cream or gel, it is used to accelerate metabolic and regenerative processes in tissues. Helps improve blood circulation, this ensures good healing. It is best to apply the product at least 3 times within 5 days.

Advantages:

• rapid healing, absence of scars on the skin;
• fights inflammation;
• can be used even during pregnancy (check with your doctor first).

There is only one drawback: the active ingredient removes the color fixative from the body faster.

“On the recommendation of the specialist, I bought Actovegin ointment. The resulting crusts began to disappear already on the third day. Permanent makeup heals quickly with this product, now I always keep a tube at home.” (Ekaterina, 32 years old, Kazan)

Master's choice

When I hear the phrase “permanent makeup,” no, no, and the horror that women from the 90s wear comes to mind. Blue eyebrows with a thread to the middle of the temple. When I woke up, I realized that technology does not stand still, and many “made” eyebrows are often much more attractive than natural ones. In any service sector, the competence of the master is important, but, perhaps, in the beauty industry it is of utmost importance. After all, you will wear his work on your face and see it in the mirror every day. Permanent eyebrow makeup is a radical procedure; you can’t erase them with a special liquid, and you can’t file them off like nails. Therefore, before you decide, study all the reviews about the work of the master to whom you are going to entrust your face. His portfolio should contain many photographs of different people from different angles. Try to evaluate symmetry, uniformity of color, and aesthetics of shape. Ask the master for photographs of healed work after a month, six months, a year. A professional will have them. Stop by to get acquainted and evaluate the workplace. All consumables must be disposable and instruments must be sterile.

Nowadays every girl wants to be beautiful at a minimum cost. This applies not only to money, but also to time. Permanent eyebrow makeup gives us this opportunity. To ensure that the recovery period goes quickly and you are pleased with the result, strictly follow all the rules for caring for permanent eyebrow makeup after the procedure. Then you will go to a meeting with the master only to thank him for a job well done.

What is better not to use

Cosmetologists do not recommend products containing strong healing stimulants: antibiotics and hormones that enhance immunity. Because of them, allergies, swelling, itching will occur, and the pigment will begin to be eliminated from the body faster. It is not advisable to use baby cream instead of Vaseline, especially in summer. It has too oily consistency and does not help restore the skin.

Products containing alcohol are prohibited, as they will further dry out the skin and cause irritation to the injured area.

To remove tattoos and remove scars, use diluted badyagi powder. It’s better to forget about it if you don’t want to get new scars and severe allergies. In the 21st century, cosmetologists use the laser method of permanent removal. The laser gently and precisely affects the tattoo area, and the risk of scarring during this procedure is minimal.

Why follow the rules

Proper tattoo care eliminates unpleasant consequences. The pigment used during the procedure is perceived by our body as a foreign substance. When lymph is released, it takes dye particles with it. This is a natural process, but if you do not follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations, more pigment will be removed than necessary. Because of this, the drawing will be lighter than planned.

If you take care of your skin incorrectly, there is a risk of infection. Open wounds are a direct route for bacteria and viruses to enter the body. After the session, the cosmetologist tells you how to treat the tattoo to prevent infection. If it does occur, you will have to undergo treatment from a doctor. Because of this, the pattern after healing may turn out to be asymmetrical or uneven in color, and the permanent will have to be corrected.
