•Never touch the procedure area without first washing your hands.

•Using cold water, create a lather with the soap provided. Gently go over brows in circular motion to cleanse brows.

•Rinse with COLD water and dab dry with a paper towel.

•Ensure brow area is completely dry before applying a thin layer of ointment with your pinky finger using light pressure. Applying too much ointment will suffocate the skin and impede healing. It should NOT look thick or greasy like Vaseline, just a light shine similar to lip balm.

Day of your appointment: Removing lymph during the first hour after your appointment is imperative. Set an alarm for every 20 minutes and pat your brows with a cotton round or a paper towel. Do not wash your brows unless instructed to do so by your artist.

First 3 days after treatment: Wash brows 3x a day Keep the tattooed area clean by rinsing with water and using the cleanser you are provided.

Days 4-6 after treatment or until flaking has completed: Wash brows 2x a day. If your skin feels dry or tight, you may apply a thin layer of ointment in between washing. Make sure to wash your hands first.

• No sun exposure for 10 days! Stay in the shade or wear a hat if you need to be outside. After the brows are healed, you need to use tattoo-safe mineral SPF on the brows to protect them from fading or turning the pigment grey.

•You may shower or bathe normally, but avoid using any soaps or cleansers on the treated area for the first week. They can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilize in the dermis. Do NOT soak your face underwater in a bathtub or allow the shower to spray directly in your face for two weeks.

•No sweating, exercising or saunas for 14 days or until ALL flakes are gone. Getting sweat in your brows will cause blurring, fading and turn the pigment GREY. Please skip the gym and all sweat-induced activities until your brows are healed!

•No hot tubs, pools, oceans, lakes or any other type of water activity outside of showering.

•No facials, massages, Botox/fillers, waxing or threading appointments for 14 days or until brows are healed. Remember: your brows are an open-wound and you want to prevent any infection or irritation.

•No picking, rubbing or scratching the brows or flakes during the healing process! If possible, sleep on your back for the first week of healing to protect your brows from irritation and the skin flaking off too soon. This will causing patchiness and poor results.

•Do NOT apply make-up to the tattooed area for the first 2 weeks. Chemicals of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your tattoo. Once your brows are fully healed, you may wear makeup as usual.

•No acidic, anti-aging or acne products on the brows, EVER!

This includes all products with chemical exfoliates such as Retinol, Retin-A, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Vitamin C, etc. Lightening, tightening and brightening products are also to be avoided on your brow area at all times to prevent fading.

•No steamy showers. Steam will cause the flakes to soften and fall off too soon, causing poorly healed results. You must avoid shampoo and conditioner running onto your healing brows to avoid possible discoloration and irritation.

•Day 1-4 : Brows will appear darker, thicker and warmer in color. Try not to worry, as they will lighten and soften by 20-30% once healed!

•Day 5-13: Your skin will be entering the second phase of healing which may include flaking similar to a sun burn. They may look patchy during this period, but it is completely normal.DO NOT pick or scratch the area. Picking any scabs or dry skin will result in pigment loss.

•Day 14-21: Flaking will be finished and your brows may look very light or as if the pigment is gone. This is because the new layer of skin is regenerating itself and the pigment is muted underneath. Don’t panic!

•3-5 weeks: The color will return to the surface and you will see your true healed results. Any areas with little retention or lighter color will be touched up at your follow up session. If necessary, any slight adjustments to the shape or color will be done at the touch up.

Lymph: A white creamy substance, something your body pushes out in the healing process.

Scabbing/flaking skin: Let the any scabs or flakes fall off on their own. DO NOT peel it! It will pull the ink out.

Sun: Keep your brows out of the sun!! If you have to be in the sun wear a hat for the first 10 days. After the 14 days apply daily sunscreen to keep them fresh looking and not faded. It is a type of tattoo and the sun will fade them. You do not want to put anything but the ointment for the first 10 days.

Strenuous activity: No strenuous activity for the first week is what is recommended! Excessive sweating will affect your brow retention. Not only that, but you are opening yourself up to infection. Touching gym equipment and then wiping your brow sweat is the last thing you want to do.

Antibiotics: The use of antibiotics or hormonal therapy will lead to faster or complete pigment fading.

Swelling, redness or fever: If you are experiencing a massive amount of swelling or redness this is not normal. Signs of infection include: redness or swelling that will not subside, any green yellow or white discharge, extreme itching or pain.

A small amount of redness and swelling is normal. During the procedure there was a lot of wiping so if you have sensitive skin, the area might be irritated for a few days. If you have swelling, redness, and a fever you may be experiencing the early stages of an infection. You should call me immediately and seek medical attention.
