Safety Deep Dive: 3 Non-Negotiables
1. Artist Credentials Checklist
- ✅ Bloodborne Pathogen Certification (OSHA standard)
- ✅ Portfolio with 6-month healed photos
- ❗ Avoid "discount" studios using non-medical pigments (e.g., ink with heavy metals >0.01ppm)
2. Pre-Procedure Q&A
- "What needle depth do you use for eyelids?" (Ideal: 0.2–0.5mm)
- "Can I see your pigment safety data sheets?" (Look for ISO 10993 compliance)
3. Post-Care Timeline
| Day | Action | Product Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Apply antibiotic ointment 3x daily | Aquaphor Healing Ointment |
| 4–7 | Gently cleanse with saline solution | NeilMed Steri-Wash |
| 8–30 | Avoid retinoids/acid exfoliants | Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser |
Red Flags: When to Walk Away
⚠️ Artist Refuses to Discuss:
- Needle sterilization methods (EO gas vs. autoclave)
- Pigment brand (red flag: generic “European” labels)
- Emergency protocol for swelling/allergic reactions
Expert Insight
Dr. Lisa Chen, Board-Certified Dermatologist:
"Eyelid skin is 0.5mm thick—thinner than facial skin. Over-implantation can lead to granulomas (inflammatory nodules). Always choose artists trained in ocular anatomy."
