How long should you wait to shower after having Permanent makeup done?

Answer 1

After receiving Permanent Makeup, it’s important to follow proper aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal healing and pigment retention. Generally, it is advised to avoid direct water exposure to the treated area for at least 7 to 10 days post-procedure. This includes avoiding showers where the face is directly splashed or steam exposure occurs. Moisture can interfere with the healing process, potentially leading to pigment fading, patchiness, or infection.

During this healing period, keep the treated area clean and dry. If showering is necessary, take extra care by using a washcloth or protective barrier (like a light layer of petroleum jelly, if recommended by your provider) to shield the area from water. Gentle cleansing around, but not on, the treated site is typically acceptable after the first few days.

As each individual's skin may respond differently, these are general guidelines. Consulting a professional at a trusted Permanent Makeup clinic is strongly recommended to receive tailored aftercare instructions based on your skin type and the procedure performed.

Dr. Megha Modi (Dermatologist) at Twachaa clinic in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad emphasizes that post-procedure care is just as critical as the treatment itself. Following professional advice ensures safe healing and long-lasting results.

If you experience redness, swelling, or discomfort beyond the expected healing time, seek medical advice promptly. Always consult your doctor or Permanent Makeup clinic to clarify when it’s safe to resume your regular hygiene routine, including showering.
