Perma Blend is here for you before, during, and after permanent makeup procedures. A crucial step in every treatment is aftercare. As we all know, each client has their own unique skin, which means no one method fits everyone when it comes to healing. The healing process can progress both forward and backward. We want to give a special thanks to our Perma Blend Select Team member and 5 Star Academy owner, Kristina Melnicenco, for providing us with the information for this blog, created to inform artists of several outside factors that can influence your healing progress.
Age Demographic
Aging affects everything in the body and (as anyone who’s ever read a beauty magazine already knows) that includes the structure and function of the skin. Everything slows down during the aging process, including the phases of wound healing. Skin gets thinner and the body shows a decreased inflammatory response meaning that, as you get older, your skin is predisposed to injury and will heal slower when an injury occurs.
Personal Nutrition
Proper nutrition is vital to optimal healing. A wound is unable to heal properly if you lack the necessary nutrients for cell repair and growth.
The Weight Factor
Anyone surpassing their ideal body weight by 20% or more has a greater risk of infection when healing a wound.
Previous History
If you have multiple wounds or have undergone a severe trauma (e.g. surgery) your body’s defense mechanisms will be limited and slow wound repair.
Skin Moisture
Skin needs an adequate amount of fluid and moisture to be viable. If you’re prone to dry skin (especially common in the elderly) you may be at risk for skin lesions, infection, and thickening, which will all impair wound healing. On the flip side, if the skin is too wet, you’re at risk for developing maceration and/or infections, so maintaining an optimal level of skin moisture is imperative for healing wounds.
Individual Health (Chronic Conditions)
Chronic diseases have a direct impact on the body’s natural ability to heal. Cardiovascular conditions are among the most detrimental, but diabetes and immunodeficiency conditions can also slow wound repair.
Medication
Prescription medications can have a negative effect on healing. For instance, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs often prescribed for arthritis and found over the counter as aspirin and ibuprofen, can interfere with the inflammation stage of the healing process. Anticoagulants have the capacity to disrupt blood clotting, while immunosuppressants may weaken the immune system and enhance the risk of infection.
