AFTER CARE
Post treatment care makes up 50% of the total treatment success. Conscientiously adhere to the given advice because if not, you can risk losing up to 80% of the drawn strokes.
At the end of your session, you will be given an after care kit to take home to care for your new brows. You will be given after care instructions, aftercare wipes and aftercare ointment to use daily for the next 7-10 days after your procedure.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS:
Day 1:
Gently wipe the treated area with an aftercare wipe 2 hours after the procedure, always wash your hands before touching your eyebrows. Allow the skin to dry and then apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment with a cotton swab, Repeat every 2 hours the first day For Normal Skin, repeat every 2 hours
For Oily Skin, repeat once before bed
Days 2 & 3:
Gently dab the treated area with the wipes prior to applying the provided ointment, make sure the treated area is always dry before applying a thin layer of the aftercare ointment with a cotton swab
Use a very small amount of the aftercare ointment, otherwise it will suffocate your brows. Apply aftercare ointment 3-5 times a day for normal skin, 1-2 times daily for oily skin.
Days 4 - 7:
Clean with a wipe and apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment.
For Normal Skin, 2-3 times per day
For Oily Skin 1-2 times per day to prevent drying and scabbing of the brows.

THE HEALING PROCESS
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FIRST 6-8 WEEKS:
The first week is going to be gnarly. Here's a list of thoughts that will probably cross your mind:
• OMG these are way too dark and way too thick
• What have I done???
• Why are they staring back at me?
• I can't go out like this.. I look crazy.
The good news is, the Intensified color and slight redness are part of the initial stages of healing and will only be from days 2-5. Don't worry, don't freak out... just be patient. This is the initial shock phase and we ask that you just simply trust the process. After 7 days, the brows will fade about 20% and shrink about 10% to a much more natural look The sensation can be comparable to that of a slight burn and minimal peeling or flaking may take place. Refrain from picking at your brows as you may run the risk of removing pigment in the process.
Healing will vary with skin type, but you may experience color fading and loss of hair strokes. This is completely normal. We like to recommend a touch up session where we can assess your healing and fill in any missing strokes as well as give it a color boost. We can then recommend the best follow up timeline for future appointments.
