BROW CARE
THE RESULTS AND LONGEVITY OF YOUR TATTOO WILL DEPEND GREATLY ON HOW YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROWS DURING THE HEALING PROCESS AND BEYOND. EACH CLIENT’S SKIN WILL RESPOND DIFFERENTLY, BOTH IN THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TAKES TO HEAL, AND THE NUMBER OF SESSIONS NEEDED FOR YOUR DESIRED RESULTS AND COLOR RETENTION. THIS INFORMATION ACTS AS A GUIDELINE ONLY, AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR RESULTS.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately following the procedure, you may experience minimal discomfort on the treated area. Many clients describe a similar sensation as a sunburn, with redness and swelling. Symptoms will subside within 24 to 48 hours.
During the first week, the tattooed area will initially appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined than the final result.
Minimal scabbing or flaking of the skin is normal throughout the first few weeks of the healing period. To avoid loss of pigmentation, DO NOT itch or remove scabs. They will naturally fall off on their own.
Adjustments and touch-ups can be made only after the healing period is complete.
Most clients require at least two sessions for ideal results. The 1st session is to build shape and gain symmetry; the 2nd session is to perfect the brows and add density.
CARING FOR YOUR NEW TATTOO:
Gently pat your brows with clean tissue for 1 hour post procedure to remove any lymph fluid this will minimize scabbing. If the lymph fluid dries on the brows, it'll create massive scabs, and the brows will peel and flake like crazy!
Within a few hrs post appointment, wash your brows with the aftercare foam soap provided.
•Wash hands
•Get TINY bit of foam soap and some water OUTSIDE OF SHOWER
•Wash gently in direction of hair. It's a LIGHT swipe, just to help remove excess oil, lymph fluid etc. NO circles or scrubbing
•RINSE THOROUGHLY, Cup hands with water and rinse to make sure all soap is removed
•Pat dry with clean paper towel allow brows to air dry 2-5 minutes
•Apply balm (TINY AMOUNT, NOT GOOPY)
•Rice Grain amount will cover BOTH brows. NOT rice grain on each.
•Wash morning and night for 10 days
•Apply balm morning noon and night for 10 days. You will have enough left over for your touchup if you're using it correctly. Rice grain amount will cover BOTH brows. NOT rice grain on each.
•No getting them wet other than washing OUTSIDE of shower. This includes shower, sweating, sauna, hot tub, ETC.
•No direct sunlight for 2 weeks
•NO MAKEUP, LOTION, FACE WASH, SERUMS, SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER Etc can touch them for two whole weeks. After that, avoid all products on them that include active ingredients (acne or anti aging products for the life of the brows)
•NO picking or scratching at scabs.
•DO NOT sleep on your face!
During the healing process, please avoid the following:
* Application of makeup on the tattooed area for 2 weeks.
* Direct shower water on the tattoo and the use of cleansers soaps and heavy creams. Wash around the areas using a cleaning cloth or oil-free makeup wipe.
* Vaseline, Neosporin and any other petroleum based products.
* Activities that will cause sweating for 10 days.
* Swimming pools, hot tubs or other bodies of water for 14 days.
* Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 SPF or greater) on the treated area.
* Laser light therapy, as it can darken/lighten or distort the pigment.
* Exfoliation products, retinol acids or AHA’s should be avoided on all cosmetic tattooed areas for the life of the cosmetic tattoo for these products cause instability and premature fading.
* Massages, facials or intensive skin treatments.
Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your cosmetic tattoo procedure. We cannot guarantee results. If you do not take care of your brows and follow the detailed after care instructions you will forfeit all future appointments. All services are non refundable and non transferable.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHOWERING
Limit your showers to 5-8 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area. Do your best to avoid soap or water running over your brows.
