On The Day
After your procedure, wipe your brows every hour with a baby wipe or pad with cooled boiled water. This is to prevent a build up of blood and lymph causing a crust. Give your brows another good wipe before you go to sleep and then once again the next morning.
Post-Procedure (until flaked)
Over the next few days, keep your brows clean and dry. Wait for 2 days and then, twice a day, you can apply a very thin layer of the vitamin A&D blam, with clean hands. This will help with healing and sooth brows if they feel particularly dry, tight or itchy. The less you touch them through, the less your risk of infection.
Do not get your brows wet. Do not submerge, splash or sweat excessively. This will draw the pigment out.
Do not pick or rub your brows.
You can wear makeup but avoid getting any on your brows.
Do not expose your brows to high UV (sunbeds, sunbathing). This will fade your brows and burn the delicate skin.
Like with any abrasion to the skin, your body will react causing some redness and sometimes swelling. Because of this, your brows may look a warmer colour or even a little red for a few days.
Post-Procedure (7-10 days)
In about a week, the top layer will flake away. Once all of the flaking has come away, you can treat your brows as normal (get them wet, apply moisturiser, etc). The colour may look pale, milky or like it has completely disappeared. This is perfectly normal. Do not panic! The colour will come back through. It takes a full 4 weeks from the time of your procedure for your brows to fully heal.
Post-Procedure (fully healed)
After 4 weeks, your brows should be fully healed and the colour correct. To keep your brows looking their best, you should come for a perfecting top up 4-6 weeks after your initial procedure and an annual top up after this.
When going in the sun or using sunbeds, wear a high factor on your brows to help to stop them fading. A SPF lip balm works really well.
Wash chlorinated and salt water off your brows with fresh water as soon as you can.
