AFTERCARE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYEBROWS

​

You must blot treated area with a damp cotton pad every hour after you leave the salon. This is to remove any lymph that will come out of the brows (by not blotting this off can cause excessive scabbing).

IN THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS OR UNTIL FINAL HEALING

• The healing process takes 7-14 days and is different with each client and with each treatment.

• Apply aftercare balm morning and night after cleansing the area with a tiny amount of cleanser with water, blot off with a tissue and then apply your balm. If your brows look dry in the middle of the day you can apply extra aftercare cream. Little amounts go a long way, you do not need to over saturate the area.

• No makeup in the treatment area. You may wear makeup just make sure to not get any on your brows as they heal.

• The treatment area may appear uneven, dry, itchy, tender, red & irritated. It is normal!! These symptoms will dissipate each day and vary on an individual basis. DONT STRESS all of these things happen to every client and are all normal like we said.

• Avoid public bathing, sunbathing, tanning salon, sauna, beauty treatments, intense training accompanied by sweating (sport activities) and contact with dust (household chores, etc.)

• Avoid any picking, itching or scratching the area. You can gently tap your skin around your eyebrows if they feel itchy.

IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS

• Avoid laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

• The use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster fading. Always protect the treatment area from the sun.

• The healed colour will be less dark.

Please take note that when you have your eyebrows tattooed they go through a variety of stages through the healing phase (7-10 days). There can be ups and downs with your healing process and everyone is different so it is important not to compare yourself to others and not to google images.

Your eyebrows will appear darker for the first few days and once they start scabbing they can look patchy. When the scabs fall off this is when they can look very light (sometimes like all the pigment has come out). You will have the wait the full 4 weeks for the brows to settle so we can see the healed results before we can make any changes or adjustments.

This aftercare routine is a guideline and may be slightly adjusted by your artist depending on which technique of tattoo you had done.
