Aftercare

Aftercare is critical, and taking care of your new brows is extremely important for longevity and best results.  

• Do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area 7 days after your procedure.

• Wash your face carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the area. During the shower, keep your face away from the showerhead or take a bath.

• After 4 days, make sure your hands are very clean, and gently apply the post-care ointment with a cotton swab and clean hands. Please be sure to use the ointment sparingly as your skin needs to heal itself. This can be done twice a day: morning and night. The brows should not appear greasy, glossy, or shiny which happens if you applied too much. This can suffocate the skin and delay healing. Never apply on wet/damp brows and continue putting on the ointment until your brows are no longer scabbing.

• The following must be avoided 14 days post-procedure:

  • Touching of the eyebrow area except for rinsing and applying the post-care ointment with a cotton swab.

  • Picking, peeling or scratching of the brow area to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.

  • Sun tanning. Exposure to UV/UVA rays or chemicals as they have been known to cause a shift in color and premature fading.

  • Hot sauna, hot bath, long showers, or jacuzzi

  • Increased sweating

  • Swimming

  • Practicing sports

  • Heavy household cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris.

  • Driving in an open-air vehicle such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles.

  • Facials, lasers, chemical treatments, peels, and any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic acid on the treatment area

  • Drinking alcohol in excess as it may lead to slow healing of wounds.

Healing Timeline:

Your brows will heal in 4 stages:

1st Stage (Week 1) - Dark, Bold, and Unnatural

Brows will start to develop a thin layer of scab.

2nd Stage (Week 2) - Itchy, Peeling, Patchy

The scab is starting to feel tight and dry. Itching and flaking will occur during this week. This is the beginning stages of scabs peeling off. Avoid picking or scratching as it can pull off scabs prematurely and cause patchy results or scarring. 

3rd Stage (Week 3) - Light and Uneven

Scabs are done peeling. Brows will appear very light after scabs come off (the lightness will vary for each individual), every week for up to 6 weeks, the color will continue to surface, and brows will get darker. Brows are safe from water and clients may return to their normal skincare routine.

4th Stage (Week 4) - Brows Get Darker and Fuller

At this stage, the color of the brows is complete and all redness is gone. Brows have fully healed. A touch-up will be needed to make proper adjustments after at least 6 weeks.

Hairy Advice

Once the eyebrow area has fully healed, a touch-up is necessary to secure the foundation of the pigment. A touch-up appointment can be made 6-8 weeks after your first session.

Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 to 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun.  Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
