Aftercare (After appointment)

How should you take care of your brows after the procedure?

Results and longevity may vary depending on different factors as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare maintenance. Each client’s skin responds differently, both in the healing time and the number of sessions it requires to ACHIEVE your desired results and color retention. We do not guarantee the outcome of your results.

Day 0 - right after the procedure

•Let your skin absorb the ink for 1 day or on the day o the procedure.

•Do not wet your brows and just gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess fluid.

Day 1-7 - scary but normal changes

•Wash your brow area gently with clean water and mild unscented soap. With clean hands, rub the area lightly using your fingertips and rinse it thoroughly to ensure that no soap is left on the brows. You can do this twice a day, every morning and night.

•Gently pat using a clean tissue to dry the brow area. Do not use any other beauty or skincare products.

•Apply aftercare unscented lotion (like Aquaphor) once peeling starts. It usually happens on day 3 or 4. 

•Only apply a small amount of lotion lightly over the brows and do it twice or three times a day.

There are also things that you should AVOID while your brows are still in the healing stage.
