Washing Instructions:

3-4x a day for 4 days

Using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, lightly massage the brows in small circles with a cotton pad, pat dry with a soft tissue and a apply a rice grain amount of the provided cream after each wash. Begin washing your brows about 1-2 hours after your service. After the 4th day, leave the brows alone and do not wash or apply cream as to not disrupt the flaking. It is also normal for brows not to flake.

Recommended Cleansers:

Gentle cleanser brands Cerevae or Cetaphil are best. Avoid using cleansers that contain oils, charcoal, or acids. Avoid using bar soap and micellar cleansers.

What to avoid for 7-10 days:

These activities may be resumed once the brows are completely done flaking:

Increased sweating, exercise, strenuous activity.

Getting your brows/forehead wet outside of washing instructions (shower/saunas/spas/recreational water).

Tanning bed use at any point after having brows tattooed (will result in premature fading and discolouration).

Natural UVB/UVA rays pose risk of discolouration. When brows are done flaking, wearing an SPF will prevent discolouration and fading.

Always let beauticians know of any permanent makeup before receiving skin resurfacing or rejuvenation treatments.

DO NOT PICK at flaking or possible scabbing. This will pull the pigment out permanently.

Wash hands prior to washing brows and wash pillowcases to lower risk of infection.

Avoid Retin-A, Retinol, Vitamin A, or oils on forehead.

No lotion, non gentle cleansers or makeup should be applied to the brows until they are done flaking.

During and Post Healing

Continue to minimise sun exposure. Lasers on treated areas can cause the pigment to discolour. Exfoliating and skin lightening products (chemical peels, AHA’s and BHA’s) promote ink loss, these products should be avoided on the treated area. Any form of topical Vitamin A should be avoided on the forehead altogether. Facial oils and natural skin oils on the forehead will result in blurred hairstrokes over time.

Signs and Symptoms that indicate the need to seek medical care:

Excessive redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temp or purulent drainage from the procedure site.

After Treatment

It is normal to feel a sunburned sensation for a couple of days followed by dry, itchy, or tender skin.

Brows will appear darker and bolder for a few days after the appointment. During healing, they will lighten up to 50% and shrink in size. Healing process takes approx 4-6 weeks.

As your skin naturally exfoliates and regenerates, you will notice the colour change, disappear and reappear as they settle. Colour may flake off and appear softer and less visible but will slowly reappear over the next few weeks. This is absolutely normal, and why 2 appointments are needed. Be patient and know that this is part of the normal and expected healing - trust the process!
