Eyebrows - After-care instructions

Days 1 - 7 ( wash & moisturize):

Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented cleanser. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.

After each wash it is very important to let the brows dry completely before you add moisturizer. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

When dry, use a sterile Q-tip and GENTLY dab (DO NOT RUB) the balm provided onto your brows using an amount equivalent to the size of half a grain of rice for each brow. (If you use the correct amount you will not see a glossy look on your brows.

Day 5 - 12 ( peeling/ f l aking phase):

Once this process begins you can discontinue washing and keep moisturizing your brows. Do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own.

DO NOT sleep on your face, please try everything possible to refrain from rolling on to your face in your sleep.

When your brows are no longer flaky (typically between day 10-14) this phase of healing is complete and you can resume regular activities. You will still want to avoid all products on them that include active ingredients (acne or anti aging products, salicylic acid, etc) and protect your fresh brows from UV exposure.

ONCE EYEBROWS ARE HEALED

Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 spf or greater) on the treated area.

Wear large sunglasses and a hat for further protection. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly when in contact with chlorine.

Glycolic acid, microdermabrasion, and chemical face peel products and exfoliants must be kept away from the tattooed area as continued use could lighten the pigment.

If you are having laser resurfacing or laser hair removal after your tattoo has healed, please inform the laser technician. Continue at your own discretion. Laser procedures may darken, lighten, or discolor the tattooed area.

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 weeks later.

There are no implied or written guarantees if you do not take care of your tattoo.
