Brows after care

Your aftercare is extremely important to follow, to ensure good retention of your strokes during your healing process.

gentry blot the area with clean tissue to absorb any excess lymph fluid (lymph is clear fluid like substance that might slightly ooze from eyebrow area.)
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 min. For prevent any hardening /crusting of the lymph.

beginning in the am of the next day you will gently wash to remove any bacteria and dead skin
instruction for washing: once in morning and once in the evening only! Use the gentle foam cleaner (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. Make sure that all soap a rinse away.
very gently, and thoroughly, pat dry with a tissue or paper towel
do not use any other cleaning products containing acids glycolic, lactic, or aha) or any other exfoliants.

allow your brows to air dry for at least 5 min. Brows should be 100%dry prior to this step. Never put your aftercare ointment on the wet or damp brows.
apply very small amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not 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 moisturise.

use a fresh pillowcase 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 colour. Your flakes will gently of by themselves when they are really to.
no facial, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion doe 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 or whatsoever.
avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks after treatment.
once fully healed be sure to protect your eyebrows 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 eyebrows area. You can even cover your forehead and eyebrows area with a shower cap as you wash your body.
avoid swimming until your eyebrows have completely healed.
avoid applying any concealer, powder or anything on the area for at least 2 weeks.
keep your hands of the area, no picking or scratching the treated area.

slight redness and/or discomfort may be present for the first two days. This will resolve itself do not apply any kind of creams, ointments, etc.
the day after treatment the colour will appear darker as it begins healing.
if you follow aftercare you should have very minimal flaking.
beginning of the 5th day do not pick scratch or peel off any skin as this will pull pigment out. As your eyebrows heal you will see the strokes widen and the colour will soften.
once flaking is complete there will still be a nearly invisible layer of skin that will make your colour appear faded. Within the first two weeks after flaking you will notice some of the colour coming back thought as the skin continues to repair itself.
depending on skin type and proper aftercare it is not unusual to see a few strokes fade or disappear from the skin. After your healing period of 30 – 45 days you should book an appointment and visit us to get your touch-up.
the touch–up is to go over the strokes again or replace any that may have disappeared. This is a reason the treatment has a two-step process. Your touch – up will ensure the longevity of your colour and hair strokes. 3 months should be the maximum amount of time before your touch-up.
