HEALING PROCESS

​

Day 1-3: Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder

Day 3-8: Flaking, slight scabbing, and itchiness is typical

Day 8-12: Strokes will look lighter, maybe appear to come off. This is natural and as the skin continues to exfoliate, the pigment will darken and strokes will reappear.

Day 12-14: Strokes will darken and healing should finish

NOTE: Healing process is different for everyone. The above timeline is an estimate and can vary. It is normal for pigment to lighten and certain areas come off completely. This is what the touch up is for.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INFECTIONS, PIGMENT LOSS OR DISCOLORATION.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

​

• Do Not get the brows wet during the healing process for 14 days.

• Do Not put anything (water, make-up, lotions etc.) on the brows for 14 days.

• Do Not sweat for 14 days - this is a hard one, but body heat expands the pores. Sweat has salt and will prematurely fade, blur or cause the pigment not to take at all.

• Avoid swimming pool and jacuzzi

• Apply coconut oil once a day or as needed. You want almost a dry heal, apply minimal amount.

• Do Not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.

• Stay out of the sun for two weeks. Then be sure to use sunblock on the healed brow to prevent fading.

• Do Not use any Retin-A or Glycolic Acids in the brow area during or after healing.

• Do Not use a tanning bed for a month… preferably, never!

• Only touch the treated areas with squeaky-clean hands during the healing process.

• Try not to sleep on your face for the first 10 days.
