After the semi-permanent makeup procedure, it is natural for swelling to occur.

Colors may appear darker immediately following the procedure. Pigments usually scab after 3-5 days. Allow the scab to flake off naturally. DO NOT pick, rub, or cleanse the area with soap or cleanser for 7 days. As the healing progresses, colors will soften to its true color.

We recommend lightly rinsing your face and showering with low-pressure water after the first 7 days. After 7 days, you can use a gentle soap or non-greasy cleaner to keep your brows or treated areas clean.

To ensure the hair stroke lines stay as thin as possible, do not allow direct contact with water for the first 7 days. Water, sweat, and oil on hair stroke lines can blur/ thicken the appearance of the lines.

No heavy workouts for 10 days. Avoid sweating.

It is normal for colors to fade up to 20-40%. Touch-ups are recommended after 4 - 6 weeks and no longer than 8 weeks.

Apply ointment sparingly to treated areas twice a day for the first 2-3 days following the procedure.

Avoid Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline during your healing period. Anything with a petroleum base can cause a reaction, crusting, scabbing, and sweating so the skin is not able to breathe.

If itching occurs, Bactine is recommended as it will disinfect the area. Bactine contains lidocaine and benzalkonium chloride.

If necessary, an appointment for a retouch can be scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure at no extra charge.

Do not soak the treated area in a hot tub or swimming pool for 10 days post-treatment.

No sunbathing, tanning, chemical peels, mesotherapy, dermabrasion, Botox or any other intense treatments for 4 weeks post-treatment.

WARNING: Chlorine, exfoliation creams, and exposure to the sun will cause colors to fade.

Failure to follow post-procedure instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration, or infection.

24 hours - 48 hours

They look textured and a little bit red. Your brows are bold in color. They can look slightly more dramatic in appearance than normal, tender, swollen, and you may even experience some slight bleeding. The day you get them done you may be in awe of your fresh set of brows. Please don’t panic. The permanent makeup has been applied to compensate for fading of 20-40%, so if they look darker than you normally wear your brows, stay calm, the color will fade over the next week.

 

Day 3-4

Your brows will be reddish, still quite tender, and maybe even a little bit thicker in texture than the day before. Swelling can be still going on at this period.  They may or may not have started to form hard thick scabs.

 

Day 5-7

At this time things start to change. This can be the turning point in the healing process, where your brows are getting itchy and it is advised to NOT scratch them, as the wound may still be open. A thick layer of scabbing may form (may not) and the fine hair-strokes that were created may be hidden. 

You have a wound on your face, therefore your body is trying to repair itself, hence the scabbing. It’s all a part of the healing process, It heals very similarly to a any other tattoo.

Day 7 

This is the scary time period when the serious scabbing will start, and begin to peel away from the skin. You may  be extremely tempted to pick or peel the scabs. Don't pick at them! You could lose piment.  Your entire eyebrow will shed and go through a transformation? This experience is perfectly normal, and necessary for their eyebrows to heal properly.

Day 7-10

Your scabs will probably be all flaked off or flaking off on their own by this point and you’ll start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The color during these days may seem way too light or even grey and missing in spots.

You might feel like your skin didn’t take the pigment, Your eyebrows may look like you’ve filled them in with a powder.  Until your eyebrows are fully finished you can appy eyebrow pencil

Day 10-15

The color might disappear- thinking that your brows are gone at this point. You can apply eyebrow pencil so you have eyebrows. 

Day 14-25

The color and definition of the hair-strokes will return at this point. The color is beginning to even out and look more natural and brow-like. You brows are almost there!

Day 30

Your follow up + touch up day.

Your healing process is complete! Your skin is completely healed and color is softer.

You may need a touch-up because you lost pigmentation during healing, your technician and you will know at this point. 

Enjoy your new brows. 

Every person is unique in their own way of healing and accepting pigmentation so we cannot guarantee results. It is important to remember that this is a two-part process and the second touch-up will complete the procedure.

- Some clients will require additional touch-ups to fill in missing hairs, lengthen hairs, or achieve a more intensive color. The full result will not be apparent until the client has completely healed.

- All clients that have semi-permanent makeup procedures done elsewhere will be treated and charged as first-time clients.

- Touch-up appointments will be subject to the availability of the technician’s schedule.

- We will do our best to meet the 4-6 week time frame recommended for touch-up appointments, so it is recommended to book these in advance. If an appointment is rescheduled by the client and does not meet the recommended time frame, additional touch-up fees will apply.
