After-care Brows

Aftercare kits are always supplied with each appointment with all that you need during the healing process.

It is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions for the full 10 days after your appointment for optimal healed results.

Retention will vary on a per client basis

You will blot your brows every 5 minutes for .5 hours after your appointment with the cotton rounds in your aftercare kit. This step will help you remove any lymph/drainage that is coming out of your brows and avoid scabbing.

1-2 hours after your appointment you will then wash your brows with the providing cleanser in your kit. You will do 2 pumps of the cleanser, lightly blot onto your brows and then splash off all of the soap with cool water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.’

Once brows are dry, apply a pea size amount of the provided balm with a clean finger (split this amount between both brows)

*you will wash 2x a day and balm 3x a day for 10 days.

AVOID THE FOLLOWING FOR 10 DAYS POST TREATMENT:

Do not submerge in water.

Increased sweating, exercise, strenuous activity,

Eyebrow makeup + Eyeshadow .

•Getting your brows/forehead wet outside of instructed washing(shower/saunas/Jacuzzis/recreational water)

•Tanning bed use at any point after having brows tattooed will result in discoloration and premature fading.

•Natural UVB/UVA rays pose risk of discoloration. When brows are done flaking, wearing an SPF to prevent discoloration and fading

.•Always let estheticians know of any permanent makeup procedures before receiving peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, or lasering services.

•Do not pick at flaking or possible scabbing. This will pull the ink out permanently.

•Wash hands prior to washing brows, and wash pillowcases to lower risk of infection.

•Avoid Retin-A, retinol, vitamin A, or oils on forehead.

•No lotion, non-gentle cleansers, or makeup should be applied to the brows until they are done flaking.

Do not submerge in water for at least 3-4 weeks; no baths, swimming, saunas etc.

Wash tattoo for first time after 12 hours

Wash with gentle soap 2x a day after first day; I recommend dial gold antibacterial

Moisturize after cleansing 2x a day with healing bomb; I recommend aquaphor

Refrain from touching tattoo unless cleaning and moisturizing

Make sure your hands are thoroughly cleaned before touching anywhere near tattoo

Wrap in cling wrap or saniderm if so desired, otherwise just keep covered in loose clean clothing

Keep in out of sun for at least 3-4 weeks

Once healed always moisturize regularly and apply sunscreen always for best results

I personally prefer to heal tattoos uncovered with daily washing and moisturizing with basic products that are easily accessible to all however these are just my recommendations.

You are more than welcome to ask for a cling wrap covering or saniderm if that’s your preference as well as using marketed tattoo products to heal.
