Eyebrow Tattoo Aftercare:​

​ Follow these aftercare instructions fully for the BEST retention of the pigment and prevention of infection!
 

• WHEN LEAVING THE BUILDING AFTER GETTING YOUR TATTOO  >> YOU MUST USE AN UMBRELLA OR PUT ON A WIDE BRIMMED HAT WHEN HEADING TO YOUR CAR!

• DO NOT PUT ON READING GLASSES, SUN GLASSES OR TOUCH YOUR EYEBROWS IN ANY WAY FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS.

• DO NOT ALLOW PETS OR CHILDREN NEAR YOUR EYEBROWS FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS.

• For 1 hour post appointment, only blot brows with a clean regular tissue to remove lymph. 

• Within a few hours post appointment, wash your hands and then wash your brows using an anti-bacterial soap, get a TINY bit of soap and some lukewarm water on the tips of your fingers and gently swipe LIGHTLY in the direction of the hair to help remove excess oil, oozing, etc. ​

• RINSE THOROUGHLY by cupping your hands with water and rinse brows, making sure all soap is removed. 

• Pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel. DO NOT RUB OVER BROWS.

“DRY HEALING VS. WET HEALING”.  I prefer both methods depending on the type of skin and when they are needed. It’s best to let your body try to naturally heal without needing the healing balm applied, only AS NEEDED, for example if your eyebrow skin starts feeling too “tight” or too “dry”. But, try to mostly keep your brows cleaned and dry 2x’s a day.

WET METHOD (ONLY WHEN NEEDED): ONLY when you feel your skin becomes too tight or too dry should you then use the balm by dipping once with a clean/sterile applicator into the healing balm you were given to take home and apply a VERY TINY/THIN layer to your brows. Less is better!  FOR OILY SKIN: The DRY Method is best. ONLY apply the healing balm as instructed above if absolutely necessary!

• Repeat washing your brows, drying them and applying the healing balm (ONLY IF NEEDED) as directed above, both morning and night for 10 days. 

• During the healing time, do not let your eyebrows touch your pillows when sleeping. Sleeping with a U-shaped neck cradle helps stabilize your head from turning towards your pillows.

• Use a bath tub during the healing phase, if possible, and do not let your eyebrows get steam or moisture on them.​

• Do not apply any type of makeup to your eyebrows for at least 7-10 days post appointment.​

• DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH, LET SCABS FALL OFF NATUARLLY! Even when they feel super itchy! 

• You may resume using Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products 2 weeks post appointment. 

• Do not use cleaners, creams, makeup or other products on the treatment area for 14 days post procedure.​

• Do not sweat, use a sauna, heat/steam, go in a pool and get any sun exposure for 10 days post procedure.​

• Do not get Botox, chemical peels, microdermabrasion or any other skin treatments for at least 14 days post procedure.

REMINDER during healing process:

​​

During the healing process, your immune system will push the pigment out through your lymphatic system, and what remains will be held in the dermis.  During this time, your pigment will disappear. Don't worry!  No need to call me frantic saying that your tattoo didn't hold . . . the skin is in a healing cycle.  Also during this time your eyebrow area will be itchy and have flaky skin.  As the healing period concludes over the course of couple weeks, the tattoo will begin to reappear and become more visible. After 14-21 days you will begin to see the final healed result of the cosmetic tattoo, and after 6 weeks you will be ready for your Touch-Up service.  Please remember that brow tattooing is a mandatory 2-step process and are not complete until the second session (Touch-Up) has been completed and all minor adjustments have been made.  Adjustments may take longer depending on several factors.​​
