IT IS ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU REVIEW THE AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE HEALING BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Aftercare Instructions
DAY 1
Keep clean and dry, do not touch your eyebrows! They may feel tender and appear a little red.
DAYS 1-3
Brows will start developing a thin layer of scab, continue keeping your brows dry and clean.
DAY 4
Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment on each eyebrow with a cotton swab and clean hands. .Spread a VERY THIN layer of the ointment across the treated area every morning and night.. Brows should not appear greasy, glossy, or shiny, if so you used too much, as this can suffocate the skin and delay healing. Never apply ointment on wet or damp tattoo. Continue ointment until your brows are no longer scabbing.
DAY 14+
Brows are safe from water. Client may return to normal skincare routines. Brows will appear very light, after scabs comes off, every week up to 6 weeks color will continue to surface and brows will get darker again
DAY 28-42
Your brows are healed and you're feeling unstoppable!!!
The Healing Process
It is important to know what the healing process may look like depending on several factors. Don't FREAK OUT!. The images below will give you a sense of what to expect over the course of the healing process. It is important to remember that if you have any major events to attend over the next six weeks, you might want to wait until afterward to do your brows. DAY 1, your brows will look great but after that, not so much until the healing process is complete.
