Day of Treatment:

• Immediately following the procedure, gently blot your brows with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid every 5 minutes until there is no longer any fluid coming off onto the tissue. This prevents the fluid from hardening and scabbing. Blotting is key!

• Put a clean, fresh pillow case on your pillow & try to avoid sleeping on your face/brows. The clean pillow case prevents old germs and skin cells from getting into the fresh wounds.

 

Days 2-10 (or until brows are fully healed):

• 2x per day (morning & evening) using freshly washed fingertips, gently cleanse brows with micellar water on cotton pad & blot dry with second cotton pad - you may see pigment the first couple of days that was still sitting on top of the skin and not deposited into it.

  • This is the LAST thing you will do before getting ready for bed & the LAST thing you will do after applying your makeup & doing your hair for the day.

• After each cleansing & drying, dab a drop of healing ointment no bigger than a grain of rice across each brow - too much will not allow your brows the oxygen needed to heal. If your brows look “wet,” then you’ve used too much. (NOTE: if you have extremely oily skin, you may want to skip this step and allow brows to dry heal, blotting them dry if necessary instead)

• Use nothing else on your brow area while it heals, and no tinting, plucking or tweezing.

​

ALSO, until fully healed:

• When showering, you can apply a larger amount of ointment on brows as a protective barrier from the water, but do your best to keep your brows out of the stream of water. Take shorter showers.

• Only use eye makeup on the eyelid and around the eye, such as liner & mascara.

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming, exercising, hot baths…anything that could make you sweat (salt will push the pigment out).

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning.

• Avoid skin products that contain acids, especially around the eyes.

• Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.

• Avoid tasks where there is a lot of airborne debris or driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles or motorcycles.

• Avoid facials, chemical treatments, botox, massages that include the face, ect. until brows are healed - preferably 2-4 eeks.

• If you do have any scabbing, allow the scabs to fall off naturally. DO NOT PICK or rub at your brows. This can cause scarring, blurring and/or infection.

• Consult a physician if you have any signs of infection.

Again, keep clean, no sweating, and no direct sunlight until healed!! Failure to follow aftercare instructions may result in infection, pigment loss or discoloration.
