The first few days after your appointment are crucial to how well your brows will heal and look long-term. The healing process usually takes around 10 days, so please note that tattooed eyebrows after a week still need to be properly cared for and treated hygienically. Following these guidelines will help your brows to heal in a way that reduces loss of ink and maximises how long you can rock your beautiful new brows before needing a touch-up.

 

The day of the treatment – First 12hrs:

Gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb any excess lymph fluid. (Lymph is a clear fluid-like substance that might slightly ooze from eyebrow area.)

Wipe with damp cotton pads every hour and pat dry with clean tissue for the first day.

You may or may not have any during this time. But if you do, we want to avoid letting it dry on the eyebrow area and form a crust.

Do this every 5 minutes for the full all signs of lymph have stopped. Removing this fluid will prevent any hardening/crusting of the lymph.

 

Days 1-10: WASH

 • Beginning in the AM of the next day, you will gently wash/ wipe with damp cotton pad to remove any bacteria and dead skin.

 • Instructions for washing: Once in the AM and Once in the PM ONLY! Using plain water. (You will do this outside of the shower only!)

 • With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Gently rub the area in a smooth motion following hair growth for 10 seconds, then gently rinse with temperate water. Not very gently, and thoroughly, pat dry with a tissue or paper towel.

 • DO NOT use any other cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants. ONLY what is recommended.

 

Days 1-10: MOISTURIZE

Allow your brows to air dry for at least 5 mins. Brows should be 100% Dry prior to this step. Never put your aftercare ointment on wet or damp brows.

Apply a very small amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab, and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should not leave a noticeable shine or film on the eyebrows. Apply only enough to moisturize!

 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

 • Use a fresh pillow case, and do not sleep on your face or eyebrows!

 • Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring and will cause loss of color. Your flakes will gently fall off by themselves when they are ready to!

 • No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks after treatment.

 • Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for at least one week. You can lightly exercise, but nothing that will cause overexertion or extreme sweating whatsoever.

 • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks after procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors. And once fully healed, be sure to protect your eyebrow with SPF. Any prolonged sun exposure will cause premature fading.

 • Avoid taking long hot showers for the first 10 days. And when in the shower, avoid water completely on the eyebrow area. You will only be gently washing them in the AM and PM, outside of the shower, and without hot water.

 • Avoid swimming, or any kind until your eyebrows have completely healed!

 • Avoid applying any type of makeup to your brow area. Do not get any concealer, powder or anything on the area for at least 2 weeks.

 • Keep your hands off of the area. No picking or scratching the treated area. (If you have any itching during healing, you may apply a small amount of Bactine.)

 • DO NOT USE growth enhancement products such as Latisse, Revitabrow, Grande lash, one month prior and after treatment has fully healed as it may shift your color.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHOWERING:

You will want to limit the time you spend in the shower. Avoid using very hot water and creating steam. This will create unwanted moisture on the face. You can even cover your forehead and eyebrow area with a shower cap as you wash your body.
