Brow Aftercare

Brow Aftercare

You will need to return for your touch up treatment after 6-8 weeks from your first procedure. To avoid additional charges, please give a minimum of 48 hours for any cancelled appointments. Everyone’s skin heals differently and most clients develop patchy areas or the appearance of fading after the first treatment. It is important to understand that this is a two-part process and the second Touch Up Treatment will complete the procedure and, after healing, you will see the finished result.

Disclaimer: Please read all aftercare instructions on this page to make sure you can commit to this brow journey, especially the first 10 days. How you take care of your fresh brows greatly affects the healed outcome.

Aftercare Instructions

  • Apply a small amount of Aftercare Wash to the palm of your hand (freshly washed hands) and mix it with water. Gently cleanse the treated area. RINSE THOROUGHLY with water and pat completely dry.

  • Apply a rice size amount of Aftercare Ointment two times a day for 10 to 14 days. Note: Product should barely be noticeable and never apply to wet or damp tattoo.

  • Keep your face directly out of the shower stream & do your best to carefully wash hair and keep face as dry as possible. Keep clean, dry paper towels on hand to pat dry if they accidentally get moist. Also keep showers brief, as too much steam can harm brows as well. If you’d like, you can get shower caps to cover both your hair and eyebrows.

  • When washing your face, be sure not to splash water onto your face like we normally do. Instead wet a paper towel or fragrance free baby wipes to wash AROUND the brows, making sure they stay dry and clean.

  • Use product free blotting paper 3 times a day for normal skin, and 6 times a day for oily skin directly on top of the brows and then the surrounding area for the first 10 days as well.

  • Do not apply any cosmetics on your brows for AT LEAST 10 days. It will damage and ruined the result.

  • Be patient!

  • No heavy exercising or sweating for at least 10 days post procedure. If you want the best color and detail retention, this is crucial.

For the first 10 days, please avoid:

All the creams (except for the ointment provided for you)

All make-up (foundation) in the eyebrow area

Avoid workouts that involve a lot of sweating

Sauna

Facial massage and steaming – inhalation

In the next 30 days, please avoid:

Sunbathing

Light therapies

Chemical peelings

Fruit acids

Microdermabrasion

Creams that contain regeneration factors

Laser treatment over the treated area (i.e. Fraxel Laser, IPL) – because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns

Antibiotics and hormonal therapy

What to Expect​

  • Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color, more sharply defined or even have a more filled in appearance. This can last up to a week after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place.

  • During the initial healing period, there may be scabbing, flaking or peeling of the skin. If that happens, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own. This is very important! If scabs come off prematurely, the pigment will come out with it!

  • The complete healing process takes about 4-6 weeks, at which time the true color of the tattoo is evident. During this process, your tattoo will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating.

Healing Process

MICROBLADED BROWS GO THROUGH MANY PHASES WHILE HEALING!

CHECK IT OUT SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT....

  • Day 1 – finely detailed, very little to no redness

  • Day 2-4 – They become darker and more filled in looking as they form a light protective layer or scab. This is only temporary- don’t panic!

  • Day 5-12– the protective layer naturally exfoliates, peels and flakes away over the course of several days as your skin heals underneath it. The freshly healed skin is white and has a waxy coating, making it appear that the brows are too light. Be patient!

  • Day 10-30 – After 10 days you may use brow makeup very gently if you need it. The color will slowly come back to life and bloom back to the surface as that new, white skin settles in and heals. Wait at least 4 weeks to see the true color, as it will take on new strength, and it is only after 6 weeks that your touch-up/adjustment can be done. Your second appointment is to tighten up your shape, touch up any light spots and also to assess how your skin reacts to the process, and the chosen color.

  • This is a two step process. Brows look really finished after the 2nd appointment.
