Brow After Care

After Care Instructions

THE FIRST 4 HOURS

Directly after your appointment, blot your eyebrows with a cotton round/tissue with no product/water every 45-60 minutes (this is really important).

DAY OF APPOINTMENT BEFORE BED

On the first night wash the brows and apply aftercare ointment once before bed. Use lukewarm water with a gentle cleanser (cetaphil or cerave only) and wash in the direction of the hair growth (typically outwards towards your temples)

DAY ONE TO FIVE

Starting the day after your appointment, wash the tattooed area 3 times a day for dry/normal skin and 4-5 times a day for combo/oily skin for only 4-5 days

Use lukewarm water with a gentle cleanser (cetaphil or cerave) and wash in the direction of the hair growth.

Pat dry with a soft tissue or cotton round, and apply a rice grain amount of the aftercare provided to the brows every time they are washed.

Keep the area clean and allow the skin to breathe for the best retention. Do not apply too much of the aftercare. These washing instructions are not just a suggestion, your brows will 100% not heal properly without proper aftercare. I will most definitely notice if aftercare is not followed, and you may be turned away from your perfecting session if I see you pose risk of not following aftercare as this can lead to an infection. Brows are 50% artists correct technique and 50% client care. This is an investment on your face, so please follow all aftercare thoroughly and please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Brow Healing Process

Healing Process Day by Day

Day 1: You’ll love your new eyebrows!

The color is perfect and the shape is everything you’ve dreamed of.

Days 2-4: Your color will darken slightly and temporarily.

This is because the fresh color goes through a period of oxidation. This does not last longer than 7 days and is minimal. You should not experience heavy scabbing. Any scabbing will be thin and light. You should feel comfortable going to work the very next day.

Days 5-7: Your microbladed eyebrows begin to flake as part of the healing process.

This lasts 1-2 days. You want to avoid picking or itching your brows.

Days 8-10: Flaking has finished and you will feel fully healed.

You finally treat your eyebrows normally. Keep in mind that even though your eyebrows feel normal, your skin is technically still in the healing process. Your eyebrows will temporarily look lighter than they will when fully healed at 6 weeks. This is because you have new, baby skin and it needs a few more weeks to finish healing.

Days 14-28: Your eyebrow color and shape has fully bloomed.

The color and shape should be just right and soon you will be invited back for your follow-up appointment.

Day 42: It’s time for your follow up.

During your follow up you have the opportunity to adjust anything you’d like about your new eyebrows. Sometimes clients are nervous during their initial service and later wish they had gone darker or fuller. This is your opportunity to make sure you are 10

Brow Flaking During Healing Process

what to do when brows flake over?

Leave them alone completely. No washing, No aftercare ointment, don’t touch them, don’t pick at them, let them naturally flake off no matter how tempting it is to touch them.

What happens if my brows don't flake?

This is best case scenario when healing, wash and aftercare for a full 7 days and then stop after day 7 if they are not flaking by then.

What You Must Avoid Until Brows Finish Flaking!!!!!

Increased sweating, exercises, strenuous activity. Brow tattoo removal is done using saline, saline is what our sweat is made out of, so you just remove your tattoo by sweating during the first 7 days.

Getting your eyebrows wet outside of washing instructions. Yes, you can shower, but face away from the shower and crack the curtain if you like hot showers.

Tanning bed use at any point after having your brows tattooed will result in discoloration, and premature fading.

Many UVA/UVB exposure will pose risk or discoloration. when brows are done flaking apply spf daily (I like the Cocokind one) Do not plan a vacation two weeks prior to or 4 weeks after

DO NOT PICK at any possible scabbing or flaking. You will pull out the ink permanently. I will 100% know if you picked at your brows to speed up the healing process and your touch up appointment will be canceled for not following aftercare. If you accidentally brush off a flake it's okay! just no picking.

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

Avoid Retinol, Retin-A, Vitamin A, Acids & Oils on your brows and forehead. These ingredients are amazing, but they have cellular communication so they will fade your brows prematurely.

No lotions, non gentle cleaner, or makeup should applied to the brows until they are done flaking

Do not sleep on your side, you will prematurely pull off the scabbing, pulling out the ink entirely causing your brows to heal more patchy and uneven.

Do not wear your hair over your brows, the natural oils from your hair will cause premature fading during the healing process.
