Many clients return to work the same day. The hand tool method of applying colour to the skin is very gentle and you shouldn't expect any significant swelling or bruising. Eyes will feel a little puffy - more than they look, much like they feel after you've been crying. A little puffy but certainly not obvious to most people. The skin will feel a little itchy over the next few days as the skin heals back to normal over the next 3-5 days.

You should not have a procedure immediately prior to departing for a holiday in consideration of the following:

• You will not look their best in the first few days following treatment.
• You may not be able to avoid sun, salt water, chlorine, hot spas, saunas or strenuous activity.
• If you have a question or problem it would be best to be near your micropigmentation technician and local doctor.

Permanent makeup will appear more intense immediately after the procedure. The excess pigment is shed off over the next couple of days and colours will continue to soften over the next couple of months. It is possible for you to have Eyeline and Browline treatments and return to work the next day. Lips take longer to settle down initially.
