Aftercare
-
1 hour after procedure, wash your brows with cleanser provided (Dial Gold), wash lash line with warm water.
-
Pat dry & let air dry for 5 min (Important skin is completely dry before applying ointment).
-
Apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor. Brows/lash line should look shiny, but you should not see ointment. Too much ointment is not good.
-
Repeat morning & night for 10 days (cleanse, dry, Aquaphor).
-
Keep brows/lash line dry otherwise (no swimming & cover in shower with wash cloth).
-
Do not let any other products or makeup touch the tattooed area for the first 10 days.
-
If you got your lash liner done, you can wear mascara after 24 hours as long as it's a new tube.
-
No working out for 10 days.
-
You will need to get more cleanser. Dial Gold or fragrance-free baby shampoo works well.
-
Hang onto the ointment, it's enough for both sessions. If you need more, only purchase Aquaphor.
-
Your brows will look darker & possibly red-ish the first 5-7 days. Don't judge your brows the first 10 days. Also remember, they are only 1/2 done after the first session.
-
Avoid potent skincare products on eyebrows, this includes anything extremely exfoliating, acids chemical peels, retinols, skin bleachers.
-
AFTER THE FIRST 10 DAYS Apply a day cream with SPF over your brows to help prevent fading.
