Find out how aftercare balm can reduce itching during semi permanent makeup healing. Trusted professional guidance by QM Makeup.

Can Tattoo Aftercare Balm Reduce Itching During the Healing Stage?

The healing process after semi permanent makeup or tattooing often includes unwelcome itching, causing discomfort and client concern. This article explores if tattoo aftercare balm can effectively reduce itching during the healing stage, informed by industry expertise, reliable sources, and best practices.

Why Does Itching Occur During the Healing Stage?

- Natural Body Response:

- Itching is a natural part of the skin’s regeneration and healing process after semi permanent makeup.

- The immune system triggers inflammation and increased blood flow, resulting in mild irritation and itchiness (Source: DermNet NZ).

- Skin Dryness:

- Healing wounds may dry out, causing skin to become tight and itchy.

- Scabbing or flaking skin can further contribute to irritation.

How Do Aftercare Balms Work?

- Moisture Retention:

- Aftercare balms create a thin barrier, locking in moisture and preventing excessive dryness—a key factor in reducing itchiness.

- Hydrated skin is less prone to crack and itch (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology).

- Soothing Ingredients:

- Many balms contain natural anti-inflammatory agents such as panthenol, calendula, or aloe vera, which actively calm irritated skin.

- Vitamin E and natural oils support skin barrier repair function.

- Protective Layer:

- By shielding the treated area from dust, pollutants, and friction, balms reduce external triggers that can make itching worse.

Professional Recommendations for Reducing Itching

- Prompt Application:

- Gently apply a thin layer of aftercare balm immediately after the initial healing (as directed by the specialist).

- Avoid heavy or occlusive application, which may clog pores or slow healing.

- Choose the Right Formula:

- Recommend fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products specifically formulated for tattoos or semi permanent makeup.

- Avoid petroleum-based balms unless clinically approved, as they may block oxygen exchange.

- Educate Clients:

- Advise clients to resist the urge to scratch or pick, as this can disrupt pigment and prolong healing.

- Encourage reapplication of balm as needed, especially when experiencing dryness.

Scientific Evidence and Industry Insights

- Clinical Perspective:

- A 2022 study in the *Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology* found that professionally formulated aftercare balms reduced itching and improved subjective healing comfort.

- Industry consensus confirms that maintaining balanced skin hydration is essential for optimal healing and client satisfaction.

Key Takeaways for Semi Permanent Makeup Professionals

- Tattoo aftercare balm can significantly minimize itching during the healing phase by hydrating and protecting the skin.

- Recommending clinically tested, fragrance-free balms is best practice.

- Proper aftercare supports positive outcomes and reduces the risk of complications.

FAQ

Lash lift kit

Does the neutralizer contain the ingredient “Sodium Bromate” ?

Yes. The active ingredient of the neutralizer is an oxidant agent, which reconnects the disulfide bonds in the eyelashes that were broken by the perming lotion. Commonly used oxidants are sodium bromate and hydrogen peroxide. Sodium bromate works best at a neutral pH value, and can achieve a firm, elastic styling effect.

Powder Pigment

Is the hybrid powdered pigment organic pigment for microblading?

Hybrid tattoo powder pigment is a revolutionary solution designed to address common problems encountered during micropigmentation and permanent makeup pigment application. This water-oil balanced makeup tattoo pigment harmoniously blends organic and inorganic ingredients to provide superior results.

After sales support

How do I change or cancel my order?

Any cancellation made after an order has been placed, will be subject to a cancellation fee regardless of the time the order has been placed (even if it is just a second later) as the merchant processor/credit card charges us a fee for cancellations.

Please note that any orders that have already been packed, produced or shipped cannot be cancelled.

Blade

What makes your microblades different from other microblades?

Our micro blades are made of 304 stainless steel, which means that the disposable microblading needle are extremely sharp and will give you very natural looking hairline results. They are completely pre-packaged in individual packages and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. These packages include the lot number, date of manufacture and expiration date. We focus on the highest quality and stand behind our microblading eyebrows products. These tools were designed by QM because we felt that other products on the market were not properly customized or sterilized for the artist's needs.

Logistics

If I have a freight forwarder in China, can you deliver to them?

Yes, we are located in Guangzhou, China. You can provide us with the freight forwarder's address and we will calculate the freight after checking. If your freight forwarder informs that relevant fees are required for delivery, we will calculate and charge you the relevant fees (such as warehousing fees, weighing fees, unloading fees, etc.).
