-
Advised not to wash your hair for 24 hours to avoid getting water into the treated area. After 24 hours, shower with a little Vaseline (apply Vaseline, shower then pat it off).
-
It is ok wash your face or apply makeup around the treated area, not on the treated area. Apply grapeseed oil or Aquaphor once or twice a day as needed with Qtips (no fingers). Start applying at after 24 hours. Once a day until finishes peeling. pat off with a clean tissue if apply too much. Apply an extra coat when itchy or flaky. Repeat until scabbing is all off.
-
Avoid strenuous activity for 7 days to avoid sweat getting into the treated area.
-
Do not use any cosmetics over area while healing approximately 7 to 10 days.
-
Do not scrub, pick, wipe, scratch, or cleanse the area. Use patting motion only, allow the scab to flakes off naturally. Do not peel or pick at the scab, this could cause pigment loss, scarring, and delayed healing.
-
Do not swim in fresh, salt chlorinated water for 2 weeks.
-
Restrictions on pet exposure and gardening for 3 to 7 days.
-
As the healing progresses, the color will soften to its true color. We recommend lightly rinsing your face and showering with low-pressure water.
-
If you have excessive redness, swelling or tenderness, elevated temperature, or purulent drainage, from the procedure site, contact your physician as the area may be infected.
-
After they peeled, you're back to normal. No scrubbing or exfoliating. Use of sunblock after scab falls off and continue to use it to help with premature fading.
-
Color will appear dark/bold, size will appear large after the procedure. They appear even bigger and darker after a few days since they are getting ready to peel. After the scabs fall off, the color will appear very light like they disappeared. Color will slowly reappear and get darker at 3-4 weeks.
-
Completely avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyperpigmentation and scaring.
-
Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 10 days.
-
Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face.
-
No facial, chemical treatments, and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
-
No Botox within 2 weeks. We recommend that it is best to wait until after your touch up heals to get Botox.
-
After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop color from fading.

Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your procedure.
-
Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peel, and Microrems around the bow area once healed.
