What are the permanent eyeliner healing stages?
Welcome to Day 1 of your appointment! We know that this can be a stressful experience, so we want to provide you with important care instructions to follow for the next 24 hours. Here’s the scoop: You may apply an ice pack for 10 minute intervals for the first 24 hours after your appointment. For maximum result, make sure to wrap the ice pack in a clean barrier such as paper toweling, towel, or cloth. And don’t forget – do not put the ice directly on the area! Taking these simple steps will ensure that your recovery goes smoothly and quickly. Thanks for trusting us with your health!
