trust the Healing process

What To Expect

Trust the process and know that two sessions are necessary to achieve the final result!

Your brows will look dark and bold immediately following your treatment and in the first 48 hours following your appointment.

Understand that the immediate results do not reflect how your brows heal. All brows heal very soft, powdery and light compared to immediate results.

At the 6-8 week touch up following your initial appointment, we will go over ink retention, shape and color and adjust as needed.

AFTER THE APPOINTMENT

After the treatment, its normal to feel a sunburned sensation for a couple days followed by dry, itchy and tender skin.

Brows appear dark, bold and the color of the pigment might look warm in tone for 48 hours following the appointment. During healing they will lighten 30-50%, shrink in size and become cooler in tone. This is normal.

The healing process takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Your skin is naturally exfoliating/regenerating and you may notice color change, disappear and reappear as your skin heals.

washing / aftercare instructions

Directly after your brow appointment, blot your new brows with a clean tissue/cotton round every hour (this is important).

Gently cleanse your brows 2-4 times per day with the recommended cleansers and gently dab dry with a clean tissue/cotton round.

Follow up with a rice grain amount of the provided ointment, using a cotton swab to gently apply on top of your freshly cleaned brows. Do not apply too much ointment. We do want the brows to breathe and enjoy oxygen in order to heal nicely.

These instructions MUST BE FOLLOWED in order to achieve the desired healed results. This is your investment and you will not be refunded in the event that you’ve refused to follow proper aftercare.

What to do if my brows start to flake

Leave them alone completely. Stop washing, stop applying ointment and do not touch them no matter how tempting it is to pick at the flaking or apply makeup, etc.

what to do if my brows do not flake

This is what we hope for and is the best case scenario for optimal healing and great results. Continue washing and applying ointment for a full 7 days and stop after day 7 if they are not flaking by then.

what must be avoided until brows are done flaking

  • Sweating, exercise, strenuous activity. You will remove the pigment we’ve implanted if you sweat during healing.

  • Getting your new brows wet outside of instructed washing. Yes, you can shower but face away from the shower head and crack the curtain open if you enjoy steamy showers.

  • Tanning bed use and excess sun exposure at any point after having permanent brows will result in discoloration and premature fading.

  • DO NOT PICK at any possible flaking or scabbing. This will pull out the ink permanently. I will 100% know if you’ve picked at the flaking/scabbing to speed up the healing process and you will not be refunded in the event you haven’t chosen to follow the provided aftercare instructions.

  • Avoid Retinol, Retin-A, Vitamin A, Acids and Oils on your brows and forehead altogether. These will cause discoloration and fading prematurely and cannot be used on the forehead area, you can continue to use them below the eyes.

  • No lotions, non-gentle cleansers or makeup should be applied to the brows until they are done flaking completely.
