ALL THE DETAILS FOR AFTER

After care is crucial, it is very important to follow these instructions for the full 10-day healing period to ensure proper healing and color retention. Results will vary for all individuals, and we cannot guarantee your results.

Use a gentle cleanser (lather it up in your hands) and wash your brows morning and night every day for 7-10 days or until the flaking has stopped.

Make sure you blot the completely dry with a clean towel after washing. Allow NO WATER to collect or sit in the brow area.

Apply the ointment provided to your brows morning and night. A very small amount (size of a piece of rice) to each brow with clean fingers.

Oily skin types may be told to avoid ointment all together and allow a dry heal process for the 7-10 days.

Lips will feel swollen and very dry after your treatment. Apply ointment on lips several times a day. This should be done for at least 14 days post treatment. Do not allow lips to become dry. This may interfere with healed color. During the day if lips feel dry, apply a liberal amount of ointment. Just tap on skin and do not rub in.

​

Always use a clean fingers to apply ointment to the lips area. This will reduce the risk of infection.

After lips are no longer tender to the touch they may become flaky. This is normal and is expected. Please do not pick or scratch at them. This may significantly reduce the amount pigment absorption. Avoid the sun and tanning beds pre and post procedure. Be sure to use a sun block once lips are healed. Do not use any Glycolic, Hydroxy or fruit acid products on lips. Avoid direct water pressure, pools and other bodies of water, until healed. You can resume wearing lipstick once lips are healed. Redness, swelling, tenderness, dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time. Avoid oily, salty, acidic foods and alcohol while healing.

Lips are a muscle and may require a touch-up session to complete the process of this procedure. Lips are unpredictable. Some clients will yield very strong healed lip color. Others will only heal with slight color uptake. This will vary on an individual basis. Clients with sun damage, scar tissue (from injury or fever blisters) and clients with implants may not have strong results. Hyperpigmentation can happen on any lip client without warning. If you have a history of Fever Blisters, Cold Sores or Chicken Pox, we advise you to go to the doctor or for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Follow all before and after instructions after all lip treatments. Lip retouch must be scheduled 30 to 45 days apart from initial season to help with color retention.

Lips heal in three stages: Too dark - Too light - Just right. This takes one month to happen. Please avoid any friction to lip area.

Your skin will be temporarily sensitized after the treatment and you should adhere to the following instructions for the next 10 days. This will help avoid infection and allow time for the skin to recover.

If you apply makeup during the next 5 days following your treatment, you do so entirely at your own risk.

Healing can take up to 10 days and it is perfectly normal for small scabbing to appear on the treated area. These should be allowed to fall off naturally over a period of a few days.

For the 10 days following the tattoo procedure, wash the site gently and apply ointment 2 times per day

With eyes closed wash the site gently with gentle soap and warm water using your hands only. (baby shampoo is ideal)

Blot the area dry. Do not rub with a towel.

With eyes closed massage ointment in gently for 10 seconds and then gently blot off the excess. Be careful to not get any ointment in the eyes as it will burn.

After blotting, the area should not be oily or greasy to the touch. Allow the skin to breathe.

Sleep slightly elevated for the first few nights to reduce swelling if needed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

DO NOT expect your tattoos to heal perfectly after the first session. This can be a 2 step process. It takes time. BE PATIENT during your 10 day healing process your tattoo will change and appear different from day to day.

Immediately after your procedure brows will appear darker and more defined and this will last up to 2 weeks. Your brow tattoo can appear more solid, hair strokes may seem to disappear, and it may look wet and painted on.

Around days 4-5 you will experience flaking and your brows may look dry. DO NOT PICK your brows, let any dryness fall off naturally. If flakes gets picked off prematurely missing hair stokes will result and cause patchy brows which can lead to scarring.

Your brow tattoo will take up to 4 weeks to fully heal. When the flaking comes off the hair strokes may seem faint this is because a fresh layer of skin has healed over the brow tattoo. Give your brows a few weeks and the hair strokes will become clearer. Color will continue to change on a daily basis until all healing is complete at the 4-week mark.

You may experience itchiness in the brows after the 10 days for up to 2 months due to the healing process of the dermal layer.

Not everyone’s hairstroke brows can heal clean and crisp. Hairstrokes for oilier skin types tend to heal more solid and powdery while drier skin types tend to heal crisper and more defined. Also, for those who bleed more may tend to need more touchups as the blood pushes the pigment out while we tattoo.
