Aftercare Areola Reconstruction

Aftercare for Areola Reconstruction is an essential aspect of the healing process and achieving optimal results after the procedure. Brows & Lips Permanent Makeup Studio provides a comprehensive aftercare regimen to ensure that the treated area heals properly and the pigmentation settles as intended.

Initial Healing Phase:

• It is common for the treated area to appear significantly darker and redder immediately after the procedure. This is a normal response due to the initial trauma to the skin.
• Over the course of 5-7 days, you will notice the top layer of skin beginning to flake off. This is a natural part of the healing process, revealing the true pigment color beneath, which is typically softer and more natural-looking than the initial appearance.

Daily Care for the First 5 Days:

• Each day, carefully remove the dressing that covers the treated area. It’s important to discard the old dressing to maintain cleanliness.
• Using a damp cotton pad, gently cleanse the area to remove any lymph or residue.
• With a clean cotton bud, apply a fresh layer of Permanent Cosmetic Healing Balm. This balm is specially formulated to aid in the healing process and protect the pigmentation.
• After applying the balm, cover the area with a new, clean dressing to protect it from external irritants.

Showering and Moisture Precautions for the First Week:

• It’s crucial to keep the treated area as dry as possible. When showering, apply a thick layer of Vaseline over the areola enhancement to create a waterproof barrier.
• Limit your time in the shower and opt for cooler water temperatures to reduce steam, which can contribute to moisture buildup.

Activities and Products to Avoid for 2 Weeks:

• Refrain from using soaps, cleansers, or any harsh chemicals on the treated area.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, such as long showers, hot baths, saunas, or Jacuzzis.
• Stay away from swimming pools and natural bodies of water, as chlorine and salt can adversely affect the healing process.
• Protect the area from direct sunlight and abstain from using tanning beds or artificial tanning treatments.
• Do not apply products containing aloe vera, as they can interfere with the healing process.

Signs to Watch For:

• If you notice any signs of infection, such as extreme redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention promptly.

Long-Term Aftercare:

• To maintain the integrity of the pigmentation, apply a high-quality sunscreen to the treated area whenever exposed to sunlight.
• If you are considering undergoing chemical peels, MRI scans, or other medical procedures, inform the technician about your micropigmentation enhancement.
• Following any tattooing procedure, including areola reconstruction, it is recommended to wait at least 4 months before donating blood.
• If you plan to undergo laser or IPL hair removal treatments, make sure to inform the technician that you have had medical micropigmentation, as these devices can alter the pigment color.
