SEMI-PERMANENT BROW AFTERCARE
- Expect slight swelling and a little redness in the immediate area.
- Keep the area lightly moist using a Q-Tip with sterile Aquaphor 1or 2 times a day (morning and night) for 7-10 days. If slight crust appears on pigmented surface, do not force removal by picking or scratching!! (You will remove pigment along with crusting) Brows are not considered healed until all crusting has exfoliated.
- Avoid washing treated area for the first 24 hours.
- After the first day wash with mild soap and water and pat dry.
- Avoid eyebrow pencils and do not put powder on the brows (to lighten)
- Avoid tinting of brows for 3 weeks following the procedure.
- Avoid hot, steamy, long showers. A thin coat of Aquaphor over the pigment is a good idea before showering.
- The procedure may have some peeling on or around the 3rd day. This is a normal process of healing for some clients. Do not Pick... picking can cause scarring and loss of color.
- The application of permanent cosmetics can be a 2 step procedure. Do not judge your procedure while in the healing stage. It may require a touch up.
- Don’t be alarmed if color comes off on to the Q-Tip when applying topical ointment. This is normal.
- Avoid the gym or sweating for 3-5 days following the procedure.
- Avoid sun for 7-10 days following the procedure.
- Avoid chlorine pools, saunas and jacuzzis.
- Avoid makeup on pigmented area until healed.
- Avoid Retin A, Glycolic Acids, Aloe, and Vitamin E products.
- No Terry Towels on pigmented areas.
- No Gardening for the first 3-4 days to prevent possible infection.
- If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI, or other medical procedures inform them that you have had an iron oxide cosmetic tattoo.
- You must wait 1 year after any tattoo to give blood.
- Lasers can cause pigment to turn black. Avoid the procedure site.
- If any signs of infection occur, abnormal swelling, redness or pain associated with the procedure, call you physician (and please give us a call).
- After you have healed, use a good sunscreen daily to help prevent premature fading of all procedures.
