How to care for eyebrows after tattoo?

Modern cosmetology offers women a lot of different options for correcting and improving their appearance, without resorting to surgery. Among the huge list of services, it is worth highlighting such a procedure as eyebrow tattoo, which is distinguished by a number of specific aspects that require detailed consideration.

After carrying out a similar procedure, a certain time should pass before obtaining the desired result, in addition, it will be necessary to carry out some work to care for the eyebrows. This is due to the fact that after tattooing this area of ​​the face has become more sensitive, and ensuring proper care will significantly affect the final appearance of the eyebrows. The healing and restoration of the skin is an integral part of such a cosmetic procedure.

Permanent makeup itself, in fact, is associated with damage to the upper layer of the skin on the face, therefore, in the first week after tattooing, the skin will need special attention.

There are several methods for working with eyebrows:

• hair technique involves drawing individual hairs;
• shading - staining of the epidermis occurs under the hairs.

However, despite the peculiarities of this or that method, the obligatory response of the skin will be the inflammatory process, which is most often accompanied by redness, swelling of this area of ​​the face and the release of a redberry.This obviously entails quite painful sensations, which will be present after visiting a specialist for a certain period of time.

In favor of eyebrow tattooing, the fact that such a procedure helps to highlight too light or thin eyebrows, give them the necessary shape, correcting the natural disadvantages or mistakes made during illiterate plucking, can speak in favor of eyebrow tattooing.

Before tattooing, in most cases, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory measures, since the quality of the permanent, as well as the healing process, will depend on the condition and type of facial skin. As practice shows, the most effective coloring pigment will lie on the epidermis of the normal type, as for oily or dry skin, in this case it will be necessary to normalize it.

It is worth seriously approaching the selection of a salon and specialist in order to avoid the risk of health problems and achieve a result that will meet expectations. A professional master will certainly have positive feedback from customers regarding his work, in addition, he is required to have certificates that would confirm his qualifications.

It will be correct to provide the master with a photo of the eyebrows that are expected as a result. Thus, you can help a specialist choose their shape and shade. In a professional salon, the master will advise on the treatment, care and healing process after the introduction of the pigment, and will also inform you on how to eliminate the risk of problems after tattooing.

It is worth highlighting a number of recommendations that should be followed after the procedure. Since it is associated with skin damage, crusts will form in this area in the first few days, and the epidermis will itch. The crusts can never be peeled off, as this is fraught with the formation of brighter areas on the painted part, which will lead to a heterogeneous tattoo result. During the first week, it is necessary to refrain from the following manipulations with the face and eyebrow area:

• do not rub your face with your hands or a towel, the skin can be gently wet after hygiene;
• contact of the epidermis with steam should be avoided, therefore, trips to the sauna, bath and hot bath should be temporarily abandoned;
• Do not apply makeup on eyebrows;
• you can not pluck eyebrows;
• do not treat this area with lotions, creams or other compounds containing alcohol;
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, wind and sea water.

Violation of any of the above prescriptions can stretch the healing process for a longer period, and also provoke an unforeseen skin reaction - irritation, swelling, redness.

Cosmetologists give several recommendations on how to care for eyebrows after tattooing. It is worth noting the basic rules.

• Immediately after the procedure, you need to provide maximum rest to the skin, since this area will be swollen and inflamed.
• During the hygiene procedures, it is worth refusing to clean the eyebrow area with soap and ordinary water from the central water supply. The first time is to wipe the face with boiled water or cosmetic milk for disinfection that does not contain alcohol.
• To relieve pain, you can take painkillers. However, if the pain is pronounced and prolonged, you should immediately consult a doctor.

• Beauticians recommend additionally treating the tattoo with a color fixer.However, before applying it, it is mandatory to test the composition on the skin, for example, on the arm, in order to eliminate the risk of an allergic reaction.
• After the procedure, the damaged epidermis will be prone to dryness, so using cosmetic cotton pads should be applied to eyebrows with creams that have a moisturizing effect, but do not clog pores. As an inexpensive and effective alternative to such formulations, regular petrolatum can be used. The processing period by such means is individually determined by the master.
• So that the crusts come off faster and the epidermis recovery process is accelerated, you can additionally use an anti-inflammatory ointment. The Bepanten squad proved itself well.

A periodic visit to the master will be necessary to maintain the shape of the eyebrows in their original form, because over time, the hairs that are located outside the formed contour will grow, and they will need to be carefully removed with tweezers. Too long hairs are cut so that they do not puff.

As for the color of the eyebrows, in the first months it will be quite saturated, but over time, the shade will become more “soft”. As a rule, it will remain on the skin for about six months. Additionally, eyebrows can be dyed with decorative cosmetics - pencil or paint. To prolong the life of the color, you can smear the permanent with cosmetic oils, for example, almond. Eyebrow color correction can be carried out no earlier than a month later.

In order not to harm the natural process of skin restoration after tattooing, it is worthwhile to understand that damage to the skin after punctures is contracted, and the edges of the wounds exfoliate in the form of crusts that make them want to peel off as soon as possible. However, such haste is fraught with the emergence of quite serious problems:

• if the flake is not completely dried up, then prematurely removing it, there is a risk of removing part of the cell with coloring pigment, as a result of which the tattoo will have a heterogeneous color;
• an infection can become a more serious complication, because these parts of the epidermis temporarily act as a specific barrier, blocking the penetration of dirt and microbes into incompletely healed wounds. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to accelerate healing in this way, it will rather turn out the other way around.

However, there are several tips, adhering to which, you can speed up the healing process. There are a number of features of carrying out such procedures based on the seasonality of eyebrow tattooing. This is due to the specific condition of the skin and human immunity in both winter and summer. Based on this, certain adjustments are made to the care procedures.

In summer, in hot and sunny weather, more active release of subcutaneous fat occurs, as a result of which the epidermis is prone to inflammatory processes. As for UV rays, they contribute to faster burnout.

Considering the above features, in order for the wounds to heal in the summer as quickly as possible, the following tips should be followed.

• It is necessary to apply sunscreen to the skin. The first couple of weeks should avoid sunbathing, it will not be superfluous to use hats that hide your face from the sun.
• In summer, it is worth changing the composition of your cosmetic bag, replacing oily creams with moisturizing products with vitamins.

As for the period of cold weather, in winter the skin becomes very dry, in addition, the epidermis regularly suffers from temperature fluctuations, and this negatively affects the state of permanent makeup.A weakened immune system will also not be able to provide quick skin recovery after the procedure. You can help in this situation as follows.

• For those who have weakened immunity, it is best to pre-start taking maintenance and prophylactic drugs. In addition, antihistamines will help to avoid various skin troubles.
• Masks or creams that contain vitamins, for example, A or E, can accelerate healing. They can also be vitamin complexes.
• Before going out, face cream must be applied at least an hour in advance. In addition, hypothermia and overheating of the face should be avoided.

Using vaseline or baby cream to moisturize the crusts, it is worth paying attention that the layer of the applied product should be thin, otherwise too soggy scales can provoke an inflammatory process on the skin.

Among the large number of recommendations regarding the healing of eyebrows after tattooing, one can find information on the use of such means as “Rescuer” or “Solcoseryl”.

Unfortunately, sometimes there are extremely negative consequences from tattooing due to errors made in caring for this area of ​​the face after the procedure. The following points are worth noting.

• The resulting eyebrow tint will be uneven. The reason for the occurrence of such situations, with the exception of the mistakes of the master, may be the use of creams or other formulations, which include hormones or antibiotics. Such products block the penetration of the dye under the skin, as a result, the color of the permanent will be unevenly distributed.
• A serious inflammatory process of the skin. Such cases may occur due to the use of non-sterile materials and tools during the procedure, as well as due to illiterate skin care, in particular, when the use of disinfecting creams was neglected. In addition, violation of recommendations regarding exposure to the sun in the first weeks after tattooing, as well as non-compliance with basic hygiene procedures increases the likelihood of microbes penetrating into unhealed areas of the skin. This applies to the use of plain tap water for skin treatment shortly after visiting a beautician.
• A significant change in the shade of the permanent. Such a process can be caused by applied antibacterial drugs, ultraviolet light and treatment of the eyebrow area with alcohol-containing compounds.
• The formation of edema and allergic reactions to the skin. Similar manifestations occur during the use of any eyebrow formulations without first checking the body's reaction to the substance and its contact with permanent makeup.
