PREPPING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT (day of)
Wear comfortable clothing as you will be lying down for a couple hours.
If you'd like, come in with your brows drawn in. It will help me determine what shape/color you like; if you're getting waxed, please make sure to do it a week before your appointment.
Eat and drink something before you come in.
Use the restroom right before the procedure, you will most likely not be able to go in the middle of the procedure.
AFTER CARE
Day 1 of the procedure:
Gently blot the brows with a clean tissue to prevent the lymph fluid from accumulating on the brows.
First 20 minutes, blot every often (approximately every 2 minutes)
The rest of day 1, blot ever 30-60 minutes.
Day 1-3:
DO NOT get eyebrows wet for 3 days. You can take a body shower but preferably not a full shower until day 4. Blot brows dry after any exposure to humidity or sweat.
Day 1-3, With clean hands, use foamy antibacterial soap to lightly and gently wash the brow area; remove soap; blot dry with clean tissue.
After washing, apply thin layer of ointment; blot afterwards so the brow can breathe.
Do not wash after day 3.
Day 1 - until they are completely flaked off:
Apply thin layer of ointment 2x a day (more if very dry skin) until the scabbing has completely flaked off. (Usually about 10 days +/-), always blot afterwards so brow can breathe.
Sleep on a clean pillow case.
Do not touch brows with unwashed hands or let anyone else touch them
Keep the tattooed area clean during the healing process (Day 1-10)
DO NOT pick or scratch at the dry skin/flakiness; let the skin fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring and loss of pigment.
Do not apply make-up to the tattooed area for the first week. Chemicals of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your tattoo.
Once the treated area is completely healed, any changes or additions that need to be made can be done at your follow-up appointment no sooner than 4 week once healed.
Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading or discoloration of the pigment once completely healed.
Glycolic acid and face peel products must be kept away from the tattooed area.
No sweating, saunas, steam rooms, lakes/rivers/oceans, hot tubs, extremely hot showers, pools, sleeping on your face, direct sun light, tanning beds until brows have fully flaked off (about 10-14 days)
After tattoo has flaked off and moving forward, use SPF on your brows to keep them from fading.
After scabs fall off, the tattooed area may seem lighter - this is because a thin layer of protective skin forms over the treated area. Color will come back at the 3-4 week mark.
