Brow AFTER-CARE instructions:

Post treatment care makes up 50% of the total treatment success. Conscientiously adhere to the given advice because if not, you can risk losing up to 80% of the drawn strokes.

At the end of your session, we will provide you with an after care kit that has everything you need for the 7-10 day healing process. This may vary per skin type and tattoo style, but typically 10 days are recommended for the best results.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS: 

  • Day 1 (Day of Treatment): Gently wipe the treated area with an aftercare wipe 2 hours after the procedure, allow the skin to dry and then apply a thin layer (half grain of rice size for each brow) of the aftercare ointment, repeat every 2 hours until bed time.
  • Days 2 & 3, gently wipe the treated area with the cleaning wipes prior to applying the provided ointment, make sure the skin is always dry before applying.
  • Apply aftercare ointment 3 times a day for normal skin, 1-2 times daily for oily skin
  • Avoid getting the treated area submerged wet for 7-10 days
  • No sweating or excessive exercise for 7 days
  • Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen In the brow area for 7 days
  • No facials, botox, chemical peels or microdermabrasions for 4 weeks
  • No major sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks.

THE HEALING PROCESS

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FIRST 6-8 WEEKS:

You may experience a roller coaster of emotions in the first two weeks.  

The brows will be darkest the first 1-3 days, then feel slightly itchy or tight days 4-6, possible flaking or peeling will occur for days 7-10.  The color will fade through a “ghosting” phase where it appears lighter because the skin thickens and hides the color.  Once the skin is fully healed, the color will return.

This can vary from person to person depending on skin type, lifestyle, and immune system.

Patience and trust in this process is key to keep your brows in good health and reduce any risk of infection or loss of pigmentation.  Do not pick, peel, scratch, or cause any abrasion to the brows.

After 7 days, the brows will fade about 20-30% and shrink about 10% to a softer natural look. The sensation can be comparable to that of a slight sunburn and minimal peeling or flaking may take place. Refrain from picking at your brows as you may run the risk of removing pigment in the process.

Healing will vary with skin type, but you may experience color fading and loss of hair strokes pr pigmentation.  This is completely normal. We include a complimentary touch up session where we can assess your healing and make any adjustments as needed.  We can always add on, or make it thicker or darker in color and shape.

We will then recommend the best follow up timeline for future appointments.
