    Failure to follow said instructions may negatively impact your results.

    Aftercare Instructions

    Please adhere to the following guidelines immediately after your initial and touch-up sessions:

    • For 1-hour post-treatment, you must blot your brows with clean, lint-free tissue to remove lymph. If the oozing dries on your brows, massive scabs will begin to form, and the brows will begin to peel and flake like crazy!

    • Within a few hours post-treatment, clean your brows with the sterile wipes provided in your premium aftercare kit:

      • Wash hands

      • Wipe gently in the direction of your brow hair using a very light swipe, just to help remove excess oil, oozing, etc.

      • Do not rinse.

      • Pat dry with clean, lint-free tissue or paper towel

      • Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare lotion or balm to cover BOTH brows (not a rice grain amount on each brow)

      • Repeat in AM/PM for 10 days

    • Avoid getting them wet (other than when cleaning them outside of your shower), including sweating, using a sauna, swimming pool, hot tub, etc for the first 10 days.

    • Avoid touching the treated area. You must not pick, peel, or pull on any scabs whether they are flaking or not. Leave them be.

      Please note: If you happen to scratch or pick at your scabs, the inserted ink may be pulled resulting in a sparse area with missing pigment in the brow area.

    • Do not sleep on your face until your brows have fully shed.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure for six weeks following your appointment. If you must be outdoors, it is highly recommended that you wear a hat or sun visor.

    • Do not apply makeup and/or skincare products on or near the treated area, especially for the first 10 days. After that period, avoid all products on or near the brows that include active ingredients, such as acne and anti-aging products, as they will cause brows to fade prematurely.

    • Yes, even avoid facials and chemical or laser peels until after you’ve healed from your touch-up visit!

    • Avoid smoking as this will also cause brows to fade prematurely.

    • Wear sunscreen to protect your skin and brows from UVA and UVB rays. Try to prevent faded pigment with these helpful tips:

      • Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and up containing zinc oxide

      • Always wear SPF on your healed permanent makeup

      • Use about an ounce for a full application

      • Reapply throughout the day

      • Allow 15 minutes for sunscreen absorption before going outside

    Failure to follow said instructions may negatively impact your results.
