Pre-care

Post-care

Please be advised that the healing process may take longer if you do not take proper precautionary measures. ​

• Keep your brows dry for the first 48 hours. If they accidentally get wet from showering, gently pat them dry with a clean tissue—avoid rubbing. Prolonged moisture can interfere with proper healing.

• Avoid activities that cause sweating or expose your brows to excess moisture, such as sun tanning, swimming, steam rooms, intense workouts, or water-based treatments.

• No makeup on the brow area during healing, as it can cause irritation or lead to infection and cross-contamination.

• Avoid acid-based skincare products (like Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Retinol, Retin-A, Hydroquinone, Vitamin C, AHA/BHA) for at least 4 weeks after the procedure. When you resume these products, keep them away from the brow area.

• Do not apply sunscreen, soap, or moisturizers directly on the brows while healing, unless directed otherwise by your technician.

• Do not pick, scratch, or rub the scabs or flaking skin—let it fall off naturally to avoid scarring or pigment loss.

• If you have oily skin, gently blot the brow area 3 times a day with oil blotting sheets to help control excess oil.

• After showering, use a cotton swab to gently clean around the brows to remove oil or debris—avoid touching the brows directly.

• Once all scabs have naturally fallen off, gently cleanse the brow area using a mild soap or your preferred gentle facial cleanser, then pat dry with a clean towel.

• Cleansing the area after healing is important to prevent bacteria buildup and avoid dry yellow crusting on the skin.

​

What to Expect During the Healing Process (for Eyebrows):

• Your brows may appear darker, fuller, and more defined during the first few days. This is completely normal and part of the healing process.

• Healing typically takes 7 to 14 days, but this can vary depending on your skin type, age, overall health, and lifestyle.

• It’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, or sensitivity for the first 3–4 days. Some clients may also experience slight bruising, especially if prone to bruising—this should fade within a few days.

• A mild stinging or tingling sensation around the brows is also common shortly after the procedure.

• Around day 4 to 5, you may notice flaking or light scabbing—please do not pick or scratch. Allow it to shed naturally.

• Once the scabs have completely fallen off, you may notice the color looks lighter or faded by 30–60%. Don’t worry—this is temporary. The pigment will begin to resurface around weeks 2 to 3 as your skin regenerates.

• The initial session is just the first step. A touch-up appointment is essential to perfect the shape, color, and overall look. This allows us to assess how your skin retained the pigment and make any needed adjustments.

• After full healing, avoid applying skincare products with acids (like retinol, glycolic acid, or vitamin C) directly over the brows, as they can fade pigment retention by up to 50%. Also, avoid lipid-peptide-based skincare on the brow area, as it may interfere with pigment stability.
