Kansas City Plastic Surgery

If you have decided that having permanent makeup with Kansas City skin care specialist Keri Eichhorn, seems to be something that you're interested in, there are just a few things to know to do before and after your procedure to insure you get the best results. To avoid excessive bleeding and scabbing you should stop taking any blood thinners for about one week before your treatment. This will help with the final result. Avoiding smoking, caffeine, and having the treatment while on your menstrual cycle will help decrease the amount of pain you will have during the treatment.

During the application process a topical anesthetic will be applied for approximately 30 minutes to the area being treated. Once the numbing process is completed the treatment will then begin. The first pass may be a little uncomfortable, however, once the first pass is complete there will be a 2nd topical anesthetic applied to penetrate into the skin to help with the numbness. The actual permanent makeup process will only take between 20-30 minutes per area.

After the permanent makeup procedure there can be moderate swelling in the treated areas. Applying cotton soaked in ice water is recommended to help with swelling as well as sleeping with the head elevated. You will be given a topical antibiotic ointment to use following the procedure for approximately 7 days. The swelling usually subsides around 3-5 days and the scabbing usually flakes around 7 days. The color usually looks much darker right after the treatment than it will once it heals. Three applications are required each 4 weeks apart.

If you are interested in permanent makeup or services to compliment the permanent makeup such as Eyelash Extensions, Eyelash tinting, Eyelash Perming or Eyebrow waxing please contact Keri Eichhorn, licensed esthetician at Summit Plastic Surgery and MedSpa.
