Aftercare
Your brows will take two weeks to heal. They will appear very bold for the first few days. This is totally normal! They will gradually fade over time.
Your brow area may feel tender, however redness is minimal.
Avoid touching your brows while they heal. When you clean them, make sure to do so with clean hands.
For the first 7 days, avoid any workouts that cause you to sweat. Light workouts are okay but remember to wipe down your brow area once you are done (with a paper towel with water).
For the first two weeks, avoid saunas, direct sunlight, any makeup or skin care products on or around the tattooed area, and you must keep them as dry as possible (for instance, you may shower but avoid the shower stream directly on your brows).
Starting the morning after your procedure, wipe down the tattooed area very gently with warm water on a paper towel. Repeat the process for the first 10 days, twice a day.
Starting the day after your procedure, apply a very small amount/thin layer of the ointment provided, with a q-tip, once a day for the first 7 days.
if your brows flake, allow them to fall off naturally and DO NOT pick at them.
Your brows may itch while healing, but again, avoid touching them.
After two weeks, if your brows appear to be completely healed, you may resume your normal skincare routine, apply makeup, etc.
