Why do eyebrows need to be smeared with special products after tattooing?

The essence of permanent eyebrow makeup (tattooing) is to pierce and introduce an inert pigment under the skin. This technique is traumatic for the skin and can contribute to inflammation and pain.

seriously approach the choice of a salon , study reviews, choose a licensed specialist , it is strictly not recommended to carry out this procedure on your own or with an unverified specialist;
allocate enough free time to stay at home, as redness of the eyebrows is possible during the healing process after tattooing, the appearance of crusts and other “side effects” that you definitely do not want to show;
make sure that permanent makeup is performed with sterile disposable instruments;
Conduct a test to determine if you have an individual intolerance to pigments and other substances used for tattooing.

Recommendation : Pay attention to the cost of the service: the lower the price, the lower the quality of services you risk receiving.

How long does healing take? According to experts, about a week. The process is individual, for some people it takes 3 to 4 days, for others it takes more than 10 days.

Healing also depends on the lifestyle you lead. This does not mean that you should deny yourself everything, but still try to follow the recommendations provided.

Before carrying out the procedure, the specialist must tell you about the risks that may arise, as well as how the rehabilitation period will proceed. After completion, he must carry out the necessary manipulations for wound healing and talk about proper care.

In order for the tattoo healing process to be faster, you need to apply a soothing composition in the form of an application to the eyebrows. The specialist should do it for you in the salon and leave it for several hours. Then the application must be removed with a damp cloth.

Advantages and disadvantages

Before embarking on a radical correction of eyebrows and lips using tattooing, it is worth studying both the positive and negative aspects of these procedures. The portfolios of all masters contain impeccable work. However, in life, not everything always turns out as beautiful as in the image.

Pros and cons of eyebrow tattooing

Representatives of the fair sex are encouraged to perform eyebrow tattooing by numerous positive aspects of the procedure:

After permanent makeup is applied by a master, the eyebrows get a beautiful shape, match the oval of the face, and save time on makeup. Under the influence of external factors, beautiful brow ridges do not lose their attractive appearance.
Those with light eyebrows can enhance their look by giving them any shape.
6D and 3D methods give a natural look to the eyebrows.
The artificial color looks impressive for up to three years, after which it will require minor corrections. Without touch-ups, the artificial pattern will be completely removed only after 7 years.

Feeling pain during the procedure. Local anesthesia cannot provide complete pain relief.
Due to the procedure, the roots of the hairs are damaged, which will ultimately lead to their partial loss.
Due to constant staining at injection sites, the skin loses its elasticity and ability to recover.
After the work of an inexperienced master, removing the pigment will be difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
Hairy tattooing should not be done on women who have naturally oily skin, as the strokes will blur after a few months.

Pros and cons of lip tattooing

Representatives of the fairer sex often resort to lip tattooing due to its many advantages. Let's consider the main ones:

The procedure allows you to always look beautiful.
With the help of tattooing you can disguise distorted lips, hide defects and scars.
Tattooing allows you to change the shape of your lips and give them a suitable color.
A one-time procedure allows you to forget about daily makeup application for a long period of time.
External factors cannot have any influence on the artificial color and shape of the lips.

When starting the procedure of salon lip tattooing, women should always remember the negative aspects of such permanent makeup, due to which:

Lip color changes.
After the injections, there will be some swelling and a long healing process.
There is a risk of dangerous infections and allergies. Therefore, you will need to take antibacterial medications for 5 days.
The procedure is most often accompanied by pain.
After the wounds heal, some correction will be required.

Proper eyebrow care immediately after tattooing

Well, you visited the salon and now you have an amazing eyebrow tattoo.

Now you need to decide what you will apply to the treated areas of the skin after the procedure. But first, you need to know how long healing will take and how it proceeds. Be prepared for the fact that it can be quite lengthy:

in the areas where punctures were made, almost immediately after tattooing, a transparent liquid will appear, which is a defense mechanism for your body;
After 24 hours, a crust will appear on the skin; do not touch it.

During tattooing, the permanent is injected into the upper layers of the epidermis, and the skin is pierced shallowly. Depending on the type - to a depth of 0.5-1 mm. There is no need to apply healing cream to your eyebrows immediately after the procedure. Such products soften the skin, the ichor does not become hard, and a crust does not form. Its appearance is necessary for protection against infection and optimal absorption of pigment. Eyebrows can only be treated with special antiseptics, and in order for the crusts to come off faster, it is necessary to smear them with Vaseline to exfoliate and moisturize.

After applying permanent makeup, the skin turns red and swells, and sanguineous fluid appears. This is how the body reacts to skin trauma. But, if the inflammation process becomes too long, it can reduce the concentration of the permanent and lead to uneven coloring or lightening.

To avoid such situations, it is recommended to smear your eyebrows with antiseptics for better healing:

"Miramistin" - prevents the occurrence of viral, bacterial and fungal infections. There are no side effects or contraindications for tattooing.
"Chlorhexidine" - this product is used to treat wounds and has an antifungal and bactericidal effect. Promotes faster healing. It is not recommended to use it for a long time after the procedure, in this case it causes discomfort and dryness. Also cannot be used if you have allergies. If the solution gets into your eyes, rinse them with water and then consult a doctor.

Products with bactericidal properties protect the skin from wound infection. Before applying the solution, it is necessary to remove the ichor with a cotton pad or napkin. You need to smear your eyebrows with a cotton swab or disk every 2-3 hours.

After tattooing, the most important thing is hydration. Apply panthenol cream to injured areas to avoid painful microcracks. For ease of application, you can purchase an eyebrow brush.

Advice : Choose medicinal ointments after a tattoo procedure with a natural composition containing oils. The alcohol in the cream dries the skin very much, so the use of such products is not recommended.

You should not apply makeup to your eyebrows during the healing process, smear them with tonics, lotions and scrubs, or use any products containing alcohol.

Technique of the procedure

To do eyebrow tattooing using the hair method, it is important to carry out the necessary preparation to avoid unwanted consequences.

The preliminary period includes the following:

do not pluck excess hairs so that the master can analyze their natural appearance: direction of growth, thickness and quality;
approximately 7 days before the procedure, it is recommended to take a preventive course of vascular-strengthening medications, for example, Ascorutin, and also smear the eyebrows with Troxevasin - all this will reduce the risk of bleeding;
take mild sedatives with herbal ingredients in case of strong feelings;
within two days before tattooing, stop taking antibacterial and blood thinning agents, as well as caffeinated and alcoholic drinks;
the day before visiting a cosmetologist, give up cigarettes, foods high in fat and salt;
Do not set a date for the procedure during menstruation.

Hair tattoo technique:

The cosmetologist analyzes the eyebrows, namely their shape, features and direction of hair growth. Taking into account the client's requirements, he makes a preliminary sketch on the eyebrows using a cosmetic pencil.
A shade of pigment is selected that suits the individual characteristics of appearance.
The master cleans and disinfects the tattoo area and outlines the final shape of the eyebrows with a pencil.
Local anesthesia is performed using an injection or ointment.
When the anesthetic effect occurs, the process of applying eyebrow hair tattooing begins (shown in the photo above). Using a special needle, hairs are drawn by introducing pigment into the skin of the eyebrows.
After completing the main stage of the procedure, the master again disinfects the working surface of the eyebrows and applies a healing ointment.

Hair tattooing usually lasts 1.5–2 hours.

How to smear eyebrows after tattooing: Vaseline and its analogues for quickly removing crusts

Vaseline is often used in cosmetology - it has a good effect on the healing process and softens the skin. Using the product after tattooing allows you to create a protective barrier on damaged areas, which prevents infection and the appearance of cracks. Apply 4 to 6 times a day in a thin layer. Vaseline can be used until a crust forms and the skin is completely restored.

There are also other tools that you can use:

Solcoseryl gel or ointment . It has an advantage over Vaseline: it does not clog pores, oxygen penetrates the tissues better, ensuring faster healing. You need to lubricate your eyebrows with it after the crusts appear, 3 to 4 times a day.
Deoxynate solution - applied externally, reduces inflammation, accelerates healing. The crusts peel off faster. You need to smear the skin for 4 days, 3 to 4 times a day.
Ointment "Methyluracil" - has a healing effect by stimulating the body's defenses. Relieves itching and discomfort. You need to lubricate your eyebrows 4 to 5 times a day until they are completely restored.

There are a large number of different analogues of Vaseline. The product itself is well suited for caring for eyebrows after tattooing. It has no smell, no side effects, no fragrances, and is easy to apply.

What not to put on your eyebrows after permanent tattooing

To get an effective result from a tattoo procedure, it is important to carefully choose care products. Some products with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects are not suitable for use in eyebrow care:

Hydrocortisone ointment is a hormonal drug. Increases blood pressure, reduces blood clotting, and the skin restoration process takes longer.
Lanolin is similar in its properties to Vaseline, but when used after eyebrow tattooing, the pigment loses its coloring properties. When applied, lanolin penetrates the skin and removes the permanent, changing its color.
Hydrogen peroxide – used to protect against bacteria. However, the hydrogen contained in the composition leads to discoloration of the pigment, oxidizing it.
Consult a professional before using any care product. Using oils, such as castor, coconut, and sea buckthorn, can also lighten your eyebrows due to the acids they contain.
