Brow After-care
Post treatment - 2 weeks after-care plan
Pat wash and dry your brows daily for two days morning and night.
Understand there will be a rollercoaster of emotions as you look at your brows and the details of your brows.
EXERCISE: Avoid cardio workouts and excessive sweating until the healing area starts to scab up (2-5 days). Once scabbing starts, you may resume normal exercising, however, be cautious of exposing the area to sweat.
Do not touch the healing area with your fingers.
Do not expose or submerge the area in chlorinated pools or salt water.
Avoid saturating the area in water - keep your brows dry.
Avoid hot, steamy showers, steam rooms and saunas until healed.
Avoid spray tanning the area until healed.
Avoid consuming alcohol for 48 hours post-treatment.
Protect the area from sun exposure while keeping your brows dry during healing.
Do not pick the flaking skin or scabs.
Ensure your perfecting visit is booked for 6 - 12 weeks post-treatment.
Certain chemicals in cleansers and moisturisers will accelerate fading and may discolour the tattoo. Avoid applying these products to any tattooed areas unless directed to do so.
The expected healing time is 7-14 days.
Trust the process.
After your brows peel / flake off
Where did the colour go?
During the healing process, the tattooed area will become intensely dark and minor scabbing will develop as new collagen rich skin forms underneath. This new skin temporarily makes the pigment appear faded and dull. Protect and nourish this new skin and the colour will return within a few weeks.

You may experience minor puffiness after treatment, however, you can expect to resume normality; Driving or returning to work immediately afterwards is fine.
Slight increase of puffiness may be expected the next morning. This normally subsides throughout the day, however may last 3-5 days.
Apply a cold compress or ice to the area immediately after treatment, for just a few minutes, and repeat every few hours that day.
Avoid applying ice directly to exposed skin, a clean tissue may be used as a barrier.
Using a clean cotton tip, apply a very thin layer of product to the area 1-2 times per day, as directed.
