AFTER-CARE
NORMAL HEALING ISSUES YOU MAY SEE:
COLOR LOOKS TOO RED/WARM:
Warmth from skin/pigment subsides during the 6 week healing period.
COLOR LOOKS TOO DARK:
Minimal scabbing can cause the brows to darken during the first week of healing. This will shed and lighten.
COLOR LOOKS TOO LIGHT:
After shedding, the color may appear lighter than you want it to. Color will darken over the next several weeks, bringing it closer to the original pigment color from the first day they were done.
SHAPE MAY APPEAR UNEVEN OR TOO THICK/THIN:
The brows may be swollen initially after your tattoo service and will shrink in width as the healing skin tightens.
SKIN MAY SHED/PEEL OVER TATTOOING, CAUSING PATCHINESS:
This is very temporary. As the skin continues to heal, the color will even out and return as the weeks pass.
ALL OR NONE of these things MAY happen. DON’T PANIC!
It’s all normal and a natural part of healing. I offer the complimentary touch-up for these very reasons.
​
You will not see the final result until 6 weeks after your second session. Follow all aftercare so you can fully enjoy your beautiful new brows.
I cannot touch your brows until fully healed for 6 weeks.
Please read through these points when you need reassurance, and be patient.
I can be reached for emergencies only.
Day 1:
Wipe brows every hour with sterile gauze pads and bottled or distilled water until bedtime.
​
Day 2–14:
Wash brows gently 2x daily with fingertips in a circular motion using tepid water and Dial antibacterial soap. Pat dry with tissues. Apply the aftercare cream sparingly (the size of one grain of rice is enough for both brows). Repeat the routine every day until healed.
​
AVOID THE FOLLOWING DURING HEALING
-
No makeup on brows
-
No sauna/steam room/sun bed/swimming pool/hot tub/ocean
-
Do not touch/rub/pick or scratch following treatment or during healing
-
Avoid sun exposure, as this can cause fading and affect healing. After healing, use sunscreen daily to prevent fading.
-
If they itch, tap to relieve it. Do not scratch.
-
NO SWEATING for the first 7–14 days.
-
No anti-aging products an inch above or below the brows. These products travel within the skin and will fade them faster.
Following all aftercare protocols will give you the best results for your investment.
Congratulations on your new brows!
