Congrats on your new brows! Here are some things you should expect during your healing process:

Please know permanent makeup services are a two-step process. Please be patient during the 10-day healing period. It's important to note that full pigment retention may not be achieved after the first session.
Post service, the treatment area will appear more vivid and dark immediately after your procedure. This can last up to two weeks.
Days 4-5: Expect gentle flaking in some areas. Do not pick at the skin to avoid scarring. Continue applying aftercare ointment.
Post-Flaking: The brow strokes and pigmentation may appear lighter initially. As the skin fully heals (3-4 weeks), the color will become more vibrant.
Itching: Some itching may occur during the healing process. For Lip Blushing clients, avoid spicy or acidic foods for a few days.
Pigment Retention: Individual results may vary. Mature skin and oily skin types may experience slightly less defined results compared to dry skin or younger skin.

Initial Cleansing: 30 minutes and 2 hours post-procedure, gently blot the brows with an antiseptic wipe or ink soap rinse to remove excess lymph and plasma fluid. This prevents scabbing and ensures smooth healing.

Daily Aftercare Routine: Morning and night

Cleanse the brows with a cotton pad and 1-2 pumps of ink soap foam rinse. Gently pat the area, including under natural brow hairs.
Moisturize: Apply a pea-sized amount of ointment to each brow using a Q-tip or clean fingers. Avoid a glossy finish; blot off excess if necessary
Use your spoolie in your goodie bag to brush your brow hair back gently. Please wash or dispose of your spoolie after every use.

Notes:

Avoid going to the gym or excessively sweating for the first couple of days after your appointment.
Wash your hands before you clean your brows.
Don't pick or scratch your brows.
