The process of healing and restoration of the skin is an integral part of such a cosmetic procedure.

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

There are several techniques for working with eyebrows:

• hair technique involves drawing individual hairs;
• feathering - there is a coloring of the epidermis under the hairs.

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

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

Before making a tattoo, in most cases a number of preparatory measures are necessary, since the quality of the permanent and the healing process will depend on the condition and skin type of the face. As practice shows, the most effective coloring pigment will fall on the epidermis of the normal type, as for oily or dry skin, in this case you will need to normalize it.

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

It will be right to give the master a picture of the eyebrows that are expected as a result. Thus, you can help a specialist to choose their shape and shade. In the professional salon, the master will advise on the treatment, care and healing process after the introduction of the pigment, and 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. Crusts should not be ripped off, because it is fraught with the formation of brighter areas on the colored part, which will lead to a heterogeneous result of the tattoo. During the first week it is necessary to refrain from the following manipulations with the face and eyebrow zone:

• do not rub your face with your hands or a towel, you can gently get your skin wet after taking hygiene measures;
• contact of the epidermis with steam should be avoided, therefore trips to the sauna, bath and hot bath should be temporarily abandoned;
• it is impossible to put cosmetics on eyebrows;
• eyebrows cannot be plucked out;
• do not treat this area with lotions, creams or other formulations containing alcohol;
• Exposure of the direct sunlight, wind and sea water to the tattoo should be avoided.

Violation of any of the above prescriptions may stretch the healing process for a longer period of time, as well as provoke an unforeseen skin reaction - irritation, swelling, redness.

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

• Immediately after the procedure, it is necessary to provide maximum rest to the skin, since this area will be swollen and inflamed.
• In the course of carrying out hygiene procedures it is worth noting to clean the eyebrow zone with soap and ordinary water from the central water supply. The first time you should wipe your 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 in nature, it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor.

• Cosmetologists recommend further processing tattoo permanent color. However, before applying it on a mandatory basis, it is necessary 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, therefore with the help of cosmetic cotton pads it is worth applying cream to the eyebrows that have a moisturizing effect, but not clogging pores. As an inexpensive and effective alternative to such formulations, ordinary petrolatum can be used. The period of processing such means individually will determine the master.
• To quickly come off the crust and accelerate the process of restoring the epidermis, you can additionally use anti-inflammatory ointment. Well-proven composition "Bepanten."

Periodic visits to the master will be necessary to maintain the shape of the eyebrows in their original form, because over time the hairs will grow, which are located outside the formed contour, and they will need to be carefully removed with tweezers. Too long hairs trimmed so that they do not bristle.

As for the color of the eyebrows, in the first few 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 - a pencil or paint. To prolong the life of color, you can smear the permanent with cosmetic oils, for example, almond. Eyebrow color correction can be carried out no earlier than a month.

In order not to harm the natural process of restoring skin after tattooing, it is worth understanding that damage on the skin after punctures is tightened, and the edges of the wounds exfoliate in the form of crusts, which cause the desire to tear them as soon as possible. However, such haste is fraught with the appearance of quite serious problems:

• if the scale has not completely dried up, then, having removed it prematurely, there is a risk to remove a part of the cell with a dye pigment, as a result the tattoo will have a non-uniform color;
• a more serious complication can be an infection, because these parts of the epidermis temporarily act as a specific barrier that blocks the penetration of dirt and germs into the unfinished wounds. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to accelerate healing in this way, rather it will turn out the opposite.

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

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

Taking into account 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 put on the skin protective compounds from the sun. The first couple of weeks you should avoid sunbathing, it will be good to use hats that hide your face from the sun.
• In the summer, it is worth changing the composition of your cosmetic bag, replacing fat 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. Weakened immunity will also not be able to provide rapid recovery of the skin after the procedure. Help in this situation can be as follows.

• For those who have weakened immunity, it is best to first start taking supporting and prophylactic drugs. In addition, to avoid various problems with the skin will help taking antihistamines.
• Masks or creams that contain in their composition vitamins, for example, A or E, can accelerate healing. It can also be vitamin complexes.
• Before going outside, cream should be applied to the face at least an hour. In addition, overcooling and overheating of the face should be avoided.

Using petroleum jelly or baby cream to moisturize the crusts, it is worth noting that the layer of the applied agent should be thin, otherwise too wet scales can provoke an inflammatory process on the skin.

Among the large number of recommendations for the healing of eyebrows after a tattoo, you can find information on the use of such means as "Rescuer" or "Solcoseryl."

Unfortunately, sometimes there are extremely negative consequences from the performance of the tattoo, due to errors made in the care of this area of ​​the face after the procedure. It is worth noting the following points.

• The resulting brow tint will be uneven. The cause 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 coloring matter under the skin, as a result the color of the permanent will be unevenly distributed.
• Serious inflammation of the skin. Such cases may occur due to the use of non-sterile materials and instruments during the procedure, as well as due to illiterate skin care, in particular, when the use of disinfectant creams was neglected. In addition, the violation of recommendations regarding sun exposure in the first weeks after tattooing, as well as the failure to comply with basic hygienic procedures, increases the likelihood of penetration of microbes into unhealed areas of the skin. This applies to the use of ordinary tap water to treat the skin shortly after visiting the beautician.
• Significant change in the shade of the permanent. Such a process can cause applied antibacterial drugs, ultraviolet light and treatment of the eyebrow area with alcohol-containing compounds.
• The formation of edema and allergic reactions on the skin. Such manifestations occur during the application of any formulations for eyebrows without first checking the body's response to the substance and its contact with permanent makeup.
