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.

For any concerns or questions regarding the aftercare process, clients of Brows & Lips Permanent Makeup Studio are encouraged to reach out directly for personalized guidance and support.
