Important after care 

How you take care of your new eyebrows over the next 7 days will strongly contribute to it’s healing, color retention, final appearance and longevity.

• The color immediately after will appear very sharp and dark but will soften and fade considerably as the healing process concludes. Please prepare yourself for this. A touch up is mandatory 6 weeks post-initial treatment.

• With a clean tissue or cotton round, softly blot any Lymph (clear fluid secreted by your body after mild injury to skin) every 30 min for a few hours after treatment

• If needed, gently apply a rice size amount of cream provided at night only. Do not rub or scrub

• Do not apply any other oils, creams, ointments or makeups for 10-12 days or until area is fully healed

• Avoid excessive moisture to the brow area while healing

• Do NOT pick flaking or Scabbing. This can result in a loss of pigment and scaring. Please refrain from touching the tattoo area to avoid possible infection.

• Avoid Pools, Jacuzzis, tanning, excessive sweating, long showers, facials and saunas for at least 10 days after procedure or until the tattoo area is fully healed. Avoid any skin creams containing Retin-A or any kind of skin peel on the tattooed area as they will fade and possibly distort them.
