Preparing for your Appointment

• Avoid any blood thinners for 24 hours (Alcohol, coffee, pre workout, Vitamin E, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, etc.)-

• Avoid omega 3 fatty acids and/ or fish oil 1 week before

• Discontinue use of chemical exfoliants 2 weeks before

• Do not tan or sunburn face

• Do not wax or tint eyebrows 3 days before

• If this is you first appointment, please come with your brows filled in or however you would do them on daily basis.

• Permanent makeup is a multi step process and touch ups are needed in order to retain. Please be aware of the skin's healing stages and research this prior to your initial appointment.

​

Caring for your New Brows

• For the first couple hours after the procedure, blot brows with a clean tissue to avoid excess lymph build up.

• The day after your procedure, gently wash your brows using the soap provided. Make sure to thoroughly rinse off and pat dry with a paper towel. Continue to wash morning and night for 10 days.

• After each wash, gently apply a thin layer of the ointment provided with a clean Q-Tip or clean fingertips. If brows are feeling really dry and itchy, apply another layer midday but do not exceed more than 4 times a day.

• Brows should be kept COMPLETELY DRY for 2 weeks (other than when washing).

• Avoid long, hot showers, swimming, saunas, working out and all other heavy sweating activities.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks and after brows are healed, use a tattoo-safe SPF for longevity.

• Do not apply any makeup to the brow or brow area for 10-14 days.

• Do not touch or rub the brow and do not attempt to pick or peel at any scabs. Doing so may result in pigment loss or serious infection.

• Do not use skincare products with glycolic acid, lactic acid, AHA's or retinol in the brow/ forehead area as it will fade your pigment.

• If you are a blood donor, do not give blood for 1 year following your permanent makeup procedure.

​

Failure to follow these Aftercare instructions may result in pigment loss and/or infection.

What to Expect During the Healing Process

Day 0 (After Procedure): Brows will look perfect (some redness/swelling may be possible)

Days 2-5: Brows will be very dark in color/may be thicker

Days 5-10: Brows may be tight/itchy and skin will start flaking off/changing the shape

Days 10-15 (Ghosting Stage): Pigment will completely disappear as the skin heals over the pigment (This stage can last up to a week)

Days 15-30: Color will return depending on client’s skin retention

After Touch Up: Retention will be much better and brows will look more perfected

​

Please note, final results and time frame cannot be guaranteed as everyone heals and retains pigment differently.
