+ What to expect

• You will be numbed during the treatment, just after we begin.
• Most clients are surprised by the minimal discomfort from this procedure. Often you can just feel a tickle from the vibration of the tattoo machine.

+ Aftercare

• Gently rinse off aftercare ointment with room temperature water 2-3 hours after the procedure.
• Keep eyelids clean and dry for 7 days, and do not pick scabs.
• You may use a cold pack or sleep elevated to help reduce swelling.
• Use a clean pillowcase, and avoid touching the treated area without clean hands.
• Avoid eye makeup for 5-7 days, or until all scabs have flaked off.

+ Healing schedule

• Days 1-2: You may have swollen, heavy or tender eyelids. Avoid heavy lifting, physical exertion, contacts, eyedrops and crying.
• Days 4-5: Scabs will begin to flake off in small, stitch-like lines. The skin underneath may look light.
• Days 5-28: The color will return slowly, but some unevenness of color is expected. This is the purpose of the follow-up session!
