Post Procedure
IMPORTANT! Some redness, swelling, light bruising and slight itching during healing process post procedure is normal. If you experience heavy itching, extreme swelling, blistering, or any other complications within the first 24 hours post procedure, please consult with technician. If symptoms continue, or you experience abnormal swelling, redness, or shortness of breath/ trouble breathing, go to the nearest hospital/ER/Urgent care immediately. You may be having an allergic reaction to the pigment.
- General instructions for post procedure for all permanent makeup application:
- Healing process will be a dry heal. Pleases follow these instructions to prevent infection.
- Do not use any makeup, tint of any sort, or makeup remover on or surrounding the brows for the first 7 days. NO MAKEUP on the face at all for the first 24 hours.
- Be sure to have clean linen prior to sleeping. Swipe out pillow cases every 2 days while healing.
- Do not touch, rub, pick, scratch or traumatize the procedure area with your fingers/object, as it may reopen the wound and cause infection by introducing bacteria. This may also cause pigment to lift, scarring to occur or blur the edges of the lines.
- Do NOT apply Neosporin, A&D ointment, Vaseline or Aquaphor.
- NO washing of the brows. Do not allow shower head to spray directly on the brows. Keep them dry at all times. Allowing brow to get wet will reopen the wound and allow for bacteria to enter broken skin (7 days). Please keep and reuse your shower brow shield for those 7 day. On day 8 you may get them wet allowing soap to run down them. BUT you MUST pat dry only.
Please AVOID the following:
- Sun exposure, increase sweating, sports, workouts, swimming, chlorine, hot sauna, hot baths, jacuzzi, sun tanning, spray tanning for 7 days.
- Any task related to heavy household cleaning where potential airborne debris may infect the procedure area.
- All laser or chemical treatments or peeling, and/or any creams containing chemicals that will thin the skin such as, but not limited to, Retin-A, Glycol Acid on face and neck. (30 days) Doing so will risk damaging the integrity of the healing skin causing infection or fading of the ink.
- No facials for at least 2 weeks. Basic facials will be allowed after the 2 weeks. Avoid brow area and no heavy exfoliation of the brows.
- Fragrant soap and fragrant makeup during healing process.
- Drinking excess alcohol. This can cause slow healing of the wounds.
- Driving open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bikes or motorcycles.
- No gardening and limit your pet exposure to prevent infection while healing. DO NOT SLEEP WITH PETS OR ALLOW THEM ON BED WHILE HEALING (2 weeks)!
REMINDER: IF AFTERCARE IS NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY, THE HEALING PROCESS WILL BE DELAYED AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE AS EXPECTED.
- Please remember that your true brow color will be seen usually at the 4-6 week mark. Retouch can be booked at 6 weeks or longer.
