What shall I expect post a semi-permanent make-up treatment?
Here’s what to expect within the first month post-treatment:
- Day 1: Your treated area will look perfect and natural.
- Day 2-5: Your treated area color will appear slightly darker. This is normal for the treatment and part of the healing process. The color will fade by up to 40% as it heals.
- Day 5-10: You will notice slight scabbing in your treated area. Do not pick at the scabs as this may impact the outcome of the treatment.
- Day 10-30: You’ll notice the color is very light; the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. This is known as the milk skin and is common in semi-permanent make-up. This is due to the tissue still healing from the inside out even though the surface of the skin is healed.
- Post 1 month: Your treated area will be healed, and the true color will fully set in.
- Post touch-up (recommended 4-12 weeks post first session): Your treatment will look and remain perfect and natural.
