Signs & Symptoms:
Swelling: Mild swelling, itchiness, tightness of the skin may occur during the healing process. If needed, a dry cold press provides a nice relief as well as usage of aftercare balm.
** Any excessive swelling, redness, extensive tenderness of the procedure site-red streaks going from procedure site towards heart may be signs of an infection-if so, please seek medical help.
What is Normal:
- Appearance: Too dark/light or slightly unevenness can occur once flaking starts between 6-10 days. It takes up to 4 weeks for facial skin to fully retain back to "normal" & also for pigment to fully oxidize/develop and show its true color underneath the skin.
- Follow Up: If a follow up is needed, an appointment to do so is heavily advised within 8-12 weeks of initial procedure. Brows Follow up rate of $150 is good up to 6 months from day of initial procedure. *Follow up session for Eyeliners & Lips included within 6 months with initial paid Full Rate.
- Pigmented Brows/Eyeliner/Lips: Lasts 2- 4 years...
**Failure to follow up after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration.
**Some Brow Pigments may appear "warm" looking for the first few days.
