During the exfoliating phase, the
treated areas may feel itchy and dry. Once they have
begun to exfoliate and healing is well under way, you'll
begin to realize the benefits of you new permanent makeup.
The Permanent Cosmetics
Procedure Area Lighten As It Heals:
All permanent makeup procedures will initially appear
darker for a few days than the subsequently healed version
for three main reasons:
Skin Turnover: To apply pigment
beneath the surface of the skin, it is obviously necessary
to implant through the top layers of the skin, known
as the epidermis. The epidermis collects, and then sheds
old skin cells as new cells are produced. As the dead
skin cells in the epidermis layer of the skin are exfoliated,
tiny particles of pigment that are trapped in the epidermis
are also ejected. When the total process is complete
only the pigment in the dermis will remain. As a result,
the pigment is less dense and the healed area naturally
appears lighter.
Skin Characteristics: Thicker
skin with more oil glands and pores retains more pigment
than thinner skin with less oil glands and pores. Of
the three most commonly performed procedures, eyebrows,
eyeliners and lip color, lips produce the most dramatic
pigment color changes. The lips do not contain pores
or oil glands and normally 50% to 70% of the applied
pigment is exfoliated within three to four days after
the initial procedure. The appearance of pigment lightening
in the eyebrow and eyeliner areas is less noticeable
since only 15 to 25% of the pigment is shed, and normally
can be effectively seen in 5 to 6 days.
Wound Healing: Any blood
and inflammation produced by the procedure can make
the permanent cosmetics or micropigmentation appear
darker initially. As the blood flakes off or is washed
off, and the inflammation subsides, the result will
be a lighter appearing color.
