Post-Treatment After-Care For All Procedures

(Eyebrows, Eyeliners, Lip Liner / Full Lips, Areola, and Scar Camouflage)

Immediately Following Cosmetic Tattoo Procedure:

Apply ice to treated area for 10 - 30 minutes.  Ice helps reduce swelling and aids in healing.

For 14 days following application of permanent cosmetics:                                           

* Apply antibiotic ointment sparingly twice a day for two days following the procedure, using a clean cotton swab; not your fingertips. Use Petroleum Jelly until Healed.                                               

* Do not rub or pick at the epithelial crust; allow it to flake off on its own. There should be absolutely no scrubbing, no cleansing creams or chemicals. Gently cleanse the intradermal cosmetic area with a mild antibacterial soap. You may rinse with water and lightly pat the area dry.  Do not expose treated area to full pressure of the water in the shower.

* Do not soak treated area in bath, swimming pool or hot tub.  Do not swim in fresh, salt or chlorinated pool water.                  

* Do not expose the treated area to the sun.          

* Use a total sun block after the procedure area has healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.

*  Do not use mascara or eyelash curler for seven days post procedure.  When you resume use purchase a new tube, the old tube may have bacteria in it. 

*  If you are a blood donor you cannot give blood for 1 year following your procedure (per American Red Cross).

*  Use sterile bandages and dressings when necessary. (Areola and Camouflage procedure cannot be guaranteed.  This is an experimental procedure.)

I understand that at the first sign of an infection, adverse reaction or allergic reaction to the procedure, I must notify Debra Rasberry, Health care practitioner, and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.

Failure to follow post-treatment instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration or infection.  Remember, colors appear brighter and more sharply defined immediately following the procedure.  As the healing progresses, color will soften.  A touch-up procedure may or may not be necessary.  Final results cannot be determined until healing is complete.  Touch-up procedures must be made between 30-60 days following the procedure. Additional fees will apply for touch-ups after 60 days following the procedure.  If necessary, an appointment for a touch-up can be made.
