Treatment aftercare, in one place.

Wash and dry your hands before touching the area. Clean, blot or apply balm only as demonstrated, using only the supplied or specifically recommended product.

Keep makeup, cleansers, retinoids, exfoliating acids, peels and other active products away until the studio confirms the surface has healed.

Do not scratch, rub, pick or peel flakes or crusts. Avoid soaking, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, direct sun and heavy sweating until healed.

Complete the free patch test where required. A clear test cannot rule out every later reaction. Wait until the skin is fully healed and use the top-up timing confirmed by the studio.

Use suitable sun protection and avoid aggressive exfoliation over the pigment. Tell future laser, peel or injectable practitioners about the cosmetic tattoo.

Contact the studio and seek medical advice for increasing redness, swelling, heat or pain, severe burning or throbbing, or yellow or green unpleasant-smelling discharge. Use NHS 111 if urgent and a GP is unavailable.

Wash and dry your hands before contact. Blot fluid gently only as directed and apply the recommended single-client balm with a clean applicator. Do not rub, bite, lick, pick or peel.

Keep lipstick, gloss, fragranced products and unapproved skincare off the treated area until the surface is intact and comfortable. Do not share lip products, towels or cups.

Avoid swimming, saunas, jacuzzis, heavy sweating, sunbeds and direct sun until fully healed. Choose food and drink that does not sting; stop if acidic, salty or spicy items cause discomfort.

Tell the studio before treatment if you have ever had a cold sore and ask your GP or prescribing clinician whether preventative treatment is appropriate. Postpone if tingling, burning, itching or an active blister develops.

Use an appropriate lip sunscreen outdoors. Delay peels, laser and injectable treatments around the mouth until the practitioner confirms it is appropriate.

Seek advice if heat, pain, swelling, spreading redness or discharge is increasing. Call 999 for sudden mouth, tongue or throat swelling, breathing difficulty, faintness or confusion.

Use the technician’s initial water, steam, heat, sauna and swimming instructions. Do not substitute a universal online time limit for the product-specific guidance.

Clean regularly with an extension-compatible cleanser, rinse gently, pat dry and brush with a clean spoolie once dry. Do not rub, pull or pick the extensions.

Keep rich creams and oils away from the adhesive bonds. Avoid oil-based products, waterproof mascara and lash curlers when the adhesive maker or technician advises against them.

Never pull extensions off. Arrange professional removal if they are uncomfortable or no longer wanted, and rebook according to natural shedding and the technician’s assessment.

Tell the studio about previous reactions and changes in health or products. Complete any advance sensitivity test required by the adhesive supplier or insurer; a clear test cannot guarantee no later reaction.

Get prompt advice for persistent itching, swelling, redness or soreness. Seek urgent help for a hot or very swollen eyelid, eye pain, a very red eye, light sensitivity, trouble opening the eye or any vision change.

For the period stated by the studio, avoid steam, saunas, swimming, heavy heat, rubbing and pressure. Follow the selected system’s instruction about water and eye makeup.

Avoid sleeping face-down. If lashes move, gently brush them back with a clean spoolie rather than pressing, pulling or trying to reset them.

Clean gently without rubbing and do not use a mechanical lash curler. Use only a lightweight lash-conditioning product confirmed as compatible with the lift system.

Let the lift grow out naturally. Contact the studio about crossed, uneven, brittle or frizzy lashes rather than attempting another chemical treatment yourself.

Complete the sensitivity testing required by the chosen lift and tint products. Tell the studio about previous reactions, long gaps between appointments, medical changes or a new formula.

Persistent burning, swelling or worsening redness is not routine aftercare. Seek urgent help for eye pain, a very red eye, light sensitivity, trouble opening the eye or any vision change.

Use the exact first-wash, water, steam, makeup and skincare instructions supplied. Conventional tint, hybrid stain and freshly waxed skin have different needs.

Once the studio says cleansing is suitable, use a gentle cleanser and pat rather than rub the brows dry. Do not scrub, scratch or use an exfoliating brush over the area.

Keep retinoids, exfoliating acids, peels and other strong active products off the brow area for the period stated by the studio, especially if the skin feels sensitive.

Tint and hybrid stain are temporary and will fade. Clean gently, and avoid friction, strong actives, heat and products the studio tells you to keep away from newly waxed skin.

Complete any advance test required for the tint or stain system. Tell the studio about previous hair-dye, PPD, black-henna, wax or skincare reactions; allergies can develop after earlier trouble-free treatments.

Get advice for burning, stinging, an itchy rash, tight or sore skin, blisters or increasing swelling. Call 999 for sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, throat or tongue, breathing difficulty, faintness or confusion.

Leave the initial dressing in place for exactly the period stated by the artist. Wash your hands before touching the tattoo, clean only as instructed and pat rather than rub it dry.

Apply only the recommended product, sparingly and from your own clean container. Do not use antiseptic or antibiotic cream unless a healthcare professional advises it.

Do not scratch, pick or peel. Avoid soaking, swimming, saunas, sunbeds and direct sun until fully healed, and follow the artist’s advice on vigorous exercise and sweating.

Reduce rubbing from tight clothing and keep the tattoo away from dirty, dusty or oily environments while healing.

Protect the tattoo from prolonged sunlight with suitable sunscreen. Do not arrange a touch-up until the skin is fully healed and has been assessed.

Contact the studio and seek medical advice for increasing redness or swelling, worsening heat or pain, severe burning or throbbing, or yellow or green unpleasant-smelling discharge.
