Day of Procedure -
Cleanse the skin every 30-60 minutes for the first 6 hours using wipes provided in your aftercare kit. This step is crucial to prevent thick scabs! Thick scabs = poor retention!
Before bed wash your eyebrows using your fingertips with soap and water. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel. Do not apply ointment until your eyebrows are completely dry, this is typically 2-5 minutes after washing.
Day 1-10 or (until scabs/flakes are gone and eyebrows are healed, some may take longer than 10 days): Wash gently 1 time per day (PM) using hands and cleanser provided approximately 10 seconds. Apply ointment VERY THIN (AM & PM) 2 times daily if the skin is still scabbed/flakey, and even after.
You may use ointment a third time only if the brows feel very itchy. A thin layer of ointment helps the skin to regenerate faster and better.
• Avoid water (for the PMU area) no sweating, saunas, lakes, pools, oceans, or tanning. You may shower and wash your hair. Do not stand with your brows directly in the shower stream.
• Please wear a hat if you are outdoors.
• Do not pick or peel any scabs this can cause scarring and remove pigment.
• Do not brush your eyebrows.
• Do not use any ointments other than those provided.
• One month following the procedure do not use anything containing acids around the eyebrows. Once healed, all acids should stay a minimum of an inch away from your PMU.
• DO NOT go in the sun or tan for a minimum of 3 weeks after your appointment. • Peeling typically takes place days 5-9, if you peel sooner than this wash only one time per day at night. Premature peeling will also result in poor retention.
• Do NOT over apply ointment a thick layer will suffocate the skin, delay healing and can cause chunks or patches to peel off. Under applying can also cause cracking and peeling prematurely. If you feel you are over or under applying, please text Sophie.
• Everyone's skin has its own healing process and duration.
• Touch up will be scheduled 8-12 weeks after your appointment to ensure the skin is fully healed.
• Please be advised brows are a two-session process. Occasionally someone will require a third session to obtain the results they desire. Days 6-15 are usually the lightest and could be slightly pink until the color blooms around day 30 some longer. Do not panic, everyone heals differently, and we adjust accordingly at your touch up.
If you lose your aftercare kit, you can purchase cotton rounds & bottled water to replace the wipes. Dial Gold to replace your cleanser and Aquaphor or grapeseed oil to replace your ointment.
