Aftercare at Home
You will be given a full aftercare kit at the end of your appointment. To ensure the best possible result, you'll want to make sure to follow all aftercare instructions. If you have any questions, please contact me to ask so we can keep your healing on track.
Day 1 (Day of Treatment):
Starting 1 hour after your appointment, wash hands and wet gauze (provided) with cool water and with light pressure, wipe away any excess lymph fluid buildup. Repeat every hour or two until oozing subsides.
Days 2-14:
Wash: With clean hands, use fingertips and a light touch to wash in the direction of hair growth 2 x per day with a small amount of aftercare cleanser (provided) and lukewarm water. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel. Avoid direct water on your brows from the shower head.
Moisturize: Apply a rice grain size of aftercare balm (provided) 2 x per day across the affected area. Be sure tattoo is dry before moisturizing.
DO NOT:
• Workout for 10 days after procedure
• No ointments, skin creams, vitamins on area
• No sauna, No swimming, No pools until scabs are completely healed and GONEI
• No sunbathing or tanning for 4 weeks after procedure
• No chemical peels, botox, dermabrasion or any other strong treatments for 4 weeks after procedure.
• No Makeup or other skin care on the brows of any kind for at least 10 days after procedure. Use only the aftercare products given at your appointment.
• Keep your hair away from brow line
• DO NOT PICK OR TÚG AT SCABS
• DO NOT SCRATCH AREA
• DO NOT SLEEP ON AREA
Your skin will continue to heal even after all scabs and flakes have naturally fallen from the area. Any unevenness or areas of concern after healing is complete, will be assessed and corrected at your touchup appointment. A touchup is unable to be done sooner than 6 weeks from your initial appointment to prevent scarring and undue trauma to the skin.
The Healing Process
Your brows will go through different stages as they heal. The first 3-4 days your brows will darken significantly. Starting on approximately day 5, your brows will become flakey and patchy as they continue to heal. Once all the flakes have fallen naturally, your brows will go through a light stage and may even look like most of the pigment is gone. It's important to be patient and not stress - as the pigment will begin to resurface around 2-3 weeks post procedure.
Cosmetic tattooing is an art form and not an exact science. Some skin types will not accept or heal pigment in a consistent manner. Skin is unique and I cannot in any way predict how your skin may react to the procedure or how it may or may not accept color. Results are dependent on how one heals and will vary with each individual client. Successful results are not guaranteed and additional sessions may be required to obtain desired results and would include an additional charge. It is important to remember that every client heals differently and many factors can lead to varied results.
