After Care
-
Color may appear intense, it will soften by 30-40% during the healing process
-
*On average, healing takes about 14 days. However if you are still healing after 14 days please continue to follow these steps
Clean your brows with the provided cleanser ONLY! Blot or gently wipe the brow 2-3x per day.
Apply a very thin layer of the provided healing balm 2-3x per day with a clean cotton swab (after cleaning)
Do not pick, peel or scratch brows. They will feel dry and may flake, but removing this layer can result in loss of color
Do not get your brow directly wet while showering or washing your face
Do not apply any makeup directly to or around your brows
Keep sweat, water, soap, lotion, etc away from the treated area
Avoid physical activities that cause excessive sweating
-
Color may initially appear dull after the treatment, as the area heals more of the added color will become visible
Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to your brows everyday, and reapply a few times throughout the day
Do not use any products containing alcohol, retinol, or glycolic/salicylic acids around or on the treated area
-
Avoid using any products billed as ‘anti-aging’ or ‘anti-acne’ (anything containing retinol, retin-a, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, etc), as these can lead to increased fading
Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to prevent excessive fading
