  • Your eyeliner will appear darker and more intense immediately after the treatment - this is completely normal and will soften as it heals.

    Your eyelids may feel slightly swollen, puffy or tender during the first 24 hours. If you really need to, you can use a cold compress wrapped in a clean tissue to help reduce swelling, but avoid applying pressure.

    In some cases you may notice some slight discharge or crust forming along the lash line - this is just lymphatic fluid. Gently blot it away with a clean, dry tissue to prevent excessive scabbing.

    Your eyes might feel a little sensitive to light or wind, so wearing sunglasses when outdoors can help.

  • Over the next 14 days, your eyeliner will go through a healing process. The colour may look darker at first but will gradually soften to a more natural shade. Some light flaking or scabbing may occur - this is normal, but do not pick at it, as this can affect how the pigment heals.

    If your eyelids start feeling dry or tight, continue applying the healing balm I’ll give you at your appointment. Use a rice-sized amount and gently pat it along the lash line as often as needed to keep the area hydrated.

    You may also notice some uneven healing, with one eye appearing lighter or patchier than the other, this is normal and will balance out as your skin regenerates.

    Avoid exposing your eyes to excessive heat, steam, or sun and continue keeping the area dry to ensure the best results.
