Typically, it occurs on the lips, and the ladies are very pleased with it! But the swelling will go down in a day or two.

Before starting the procedure or during the consultation, we warn our clients that any cosmetic procedure is a mechanical process. And the permanent makeup procedure itself requires at least two stages: the main and the correction. One should not always expect instant results. It may take several days or weeks to assess the final outcome. And this is normal, especially when working with skin.

Swelling after the procedure is a typical body reaction; we injure the epidermis during the pigment insertion into the skin. For this reason, swelling and redness may occur, which is a normal healing process.

Swelling can occur in different parts of the face where we apply permanent makeup, such as, lips, and eyebrows. However, this remains an individual approach and depends on the skin type, skincare, and external factors.
Reduce swelling after permanent makeup by applying a cold compress in short intervals.

Stay hydrated and avoid salty foods to help reduce fluid retention and swelling, and use your after care as much as you can.

Eyebrows

The eyebrow area typically has minimal or insignificant swelling, which you might not even notice. Clients with increased skin sensitivity and closely located blood vessels may observe slight skin redness in the area of permanent makeup.

The swelling effect for eyebrows can last for one day, depending on various factors, especially the type of skincare after the permanent makeup procedure.

Minor swelling can be expected, each person will have different degrees , with little to no discomfort or pain, and considering the long-term beauty results for 1.5 years or more , any pain is easily forgotten.

Lips

For many artists, this is their favorite area. Swelling can vary, but it always lasts for a couple of hours. Right after the procedure, the shape of the lips might appear slightly distorted or uneven, but there's no need to worry about this.

So, there's no need to hide at home. Make sure to follow all the care instructions for the permanent makeup. We provide our clients at the studio with a list of tips right after the first procedure is completed.

The average healing time for lips after permanent makeup is 3-5 days.

In our studio, we joke that the swelling after permanent lip makeup is like a trial version of lip augmentation procedures at a cosmetologist's office. Some clients even get disappointed when the swelling goes down.
