EYE LINER BEFORE & AFTER CARE INFORMATION

Are you wanting to get your eyes lined but have some questions? Take a look at the information below! Browlicity wants you to feel completely comfortable going into the process!

What to Expect from your Eye Liner Appointment

  • Please be aware that for some the color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper immediately after the procedure. It will fade and look more natural as it heals. The liner will also look thicker right after than what it will heal at. The liner tends to shrink around 40-50%
  • Eye Liner is a 2 step process. Right after, one can expect redness and swelling and some, may even have  possible bruising. This can vary from person to person and last a few days or longer . A touch-up is recommended 6-8 weeks later. 
  •  A topical anesthetic is placed over the treatment area for 20 minutes, then carefully removed prior to the start of your treatment. A Numbing anesthetic is also applied during the procedure.
  • We CANNOT guarantee that there won’t be some discomfort. Some people numb up better than others depending on their skin. Certain people can also be resistant to the anesthetic. The majority say they don’t feel much and that it’s very tolerable. This can also depend on an individual’s pain tolerance as that can also vary.
  • It is normal for the Liner area to weep some lymph fluid. Scabbing is also possible while healing and it can also look a little grey at this stage but color comes back shortly after.  Full healed results can sometime take a few weeks and true color can take that long to settle on some people. Medications and skin integrity can affect healed results.
