After care

Important:

 

It’s COMPLETELY normal for your eyebrows to look slightly darker during the first few day’s post – procedure. DO NOT WORRY, they will slowly lighten and shrink in size. This is the natural process. It’s also expected that may scab\ flake, so don’t sweat that either. It is all temporary and will be gone within a few days.

 

Disclaimer

 

How you take care of your newly tattooed eyebrows over the first 7 – 10 days and your natural skin – type will ultimately determine its healing, color retention, final appearance, and longevity. It is important to remember that results vary by individual. The healed results are up to your body, everyone heals differently and you must understand that this is a risk you are taking.

 

Some guidelines

 

  •  Do not, by any means, touch your eyebrows with anything. This includes dirty fingertips, towels, make -up tools, etc.

  •  Gently wash your eyebrows, twice, with the provided cleanser, on the night of the procedure and the   following morning.

  •  After having washed your eyebrows twice, begin avoiding direct water on your eyebrows during  the healing   period.

  • For the first few nights, try to sleep on your back. It can be tricky to control yourself in your sleep, but it’s    beneficial. This avoids scrubbing of eyebrows against pillows, which can lead to irritation and faster shedding of skin.

  • Gently apply the healing ointment 2-3 times a day with Q -tips only, and only a rice grain’s amount.

  • Don’t apply make- up on the eyebrows during the healing process. You won’t even need it! 

  • However, you may resume applying make – up on your eyebrows once you have fully healed.

What to expect after your procedure

 

Redness or swelling is normal

Redness around the eyebrow area is completely normal and tend to show more on lighter and cooler skin tones. Not to worry, the redness typically diminishes within 1-2 hours post- procedure. If any, the swelling can be managed with soft gel ice packs. Place chilled gel packs in plastic baggies before you place over the swollen area in order to prevent any infection or moisture contact.

 

Do not pick on flaking or scabbing

As the skin starts its natural healing process, you may experience some flaking and\ or scabbing. Picking or peeling any flakes or scabs can cause loss of implanted pigment and\ or scarring. Please refrain from touching tattooed area except when applying ointment. Some pigment may rub off, therefore, you should take precautions to protect linens and towels. It’s also normal to see pigment on your q – tip after applying the ointment.

 

Apply ointment on the eyebrows every 4 -5 hours for the full 7 – 14 days. Do not allow your brows to become completely dry or feel tight.

 

Avoid certain activities & don’t use soaps and creams

Pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, tanning, excessive sweating, facials, hot yoga and other extremely humid situations should be avoided for a period of at least 14 days or until the eyebrows are fully healed. Retin – A, AHA or any kind of chemical peel must not be used directly on or near the tattooed area, as this will fade and possibly distort the color of eyebrows. Sun block should be applied over tattoos on days when you will be continuously under the sun for more than 2 hours.

 

When washing your face, refrain from using soaps and creams on the brow area during the healing period. When showering or bathing, avoid putting your face directly under the shower – head stream.

 

Final appearance will take 4 -6 weeks

Do not panic! The color immediately after tattooing will appear very sharp and dark but will soften and fade considerably as the healing process concludes. As with most operations and procedures, it must get worse before it gets better. The final appearance of the tattooed areas should not be considered for the last 4 – 6 weeks after final visit.

 

Touch – ups may be required

You may want to touch up or augment an area after the pigment has settled, however, this can only take place after 4 -week healing period. A touch – up appointment is crucial with procedure because of the desired shape and color as much as possible, but your body may present the healed results differently. It is also not uncommon for certain individuals with great retention of the pigment to not need touch up.

 

It is your responsibility to book ahead and ensure that your touch – up appointment is within the 4 – 6weeks timeframe of your initial visit, otherwise you will be subject to additional charges.

In certain cases, more than one touch – up may be required to achieve optimal results. The price includes the first touch – up and additional sessions will be subject to custom pricing, depending on level of retention of pigment a timeframe in – between sessions.
