Brows
After your appointment:
-
Day 1: Dab brows with cotton pads provided in the aftercare kit every hour after the procedure. Depending if you are a bleeder, you must dab more often.
- Day 2-14: For twice a day (morning and night), clean brows with slightly damp cotton pad. You need to wipe gently in the direction of the hair growth. Then, pat dry with a clean dry cotton pad. Lastly, put a thin layer of the aftercare cream provided with a q-tip.
- Do not touch, pick, itch, rub, or sleep on the brows - any scabs that come off earlier will cause the brows to heal unevenly.
- Do not do any heavy exercises for at least 1 week - sweating excessively will cause poor retention and possible infection.
- Do not put makeup near and on the brows while the scabs are still on.
- Avoid hot, long showers, saunas, swimming until the scabs are completely fallen off.
- Avoid direct sunlight while the brows are healing.
- Put SPF 50+ on the brows once they are healed.
Healing Process:
-
Day 1: You may experience some swelling, redness, and soreness after the procedure. Remember: your brows right after the procedure is typically 40-50% darker and more pigmented than your healed brows later on.
-
Day 2-4: Scabs may start to form, brows may start to feel itchy. IMPORTANT: Do not pick or scratch it!
-
Day 5-14: Flaking and patchiness will start to occur once the scabs are fallen off. Once brows are done scabbing, they may appear light and has no color. This is normal and trust the process.

Day 14+: Color will start to resurface.
-
6-8 weeks: Touch up time!
*Please note that to achieve optimal result, this procedure is a TWO-STEP process: the initial procedure + your touch up session.
In some cases, a third touch up session may be needed to get your desired look.

**Lips are fully healed in about 6 to 8 weeks. During the healing process, the color may come and goes until it is your touch up time.
