PERMANENT BROWS
Pre-Care & Aftercare Instructions
WHAT TO EXPECT
Permanent makeup is a multi-step process, and achieving beautiful, long-lasting results often requires more than one appointment. Most brow procedures, including Microblading, Nano Brows, Combination Brows, and Ombré Powder Brows, require a perfecting touch-up approximately 6 to 8 weeks after the initial appointment. Clients with oily skin may require additional touch-ups to achieve their desired results.
​
We offer a variety of brow enhancement techniques to suit different skin types, lifestyles, and aesthetic preferences, including Microblading, Nano Brows, Combination Brows, and Ombré Powder Brows. During your consultation, we will discuss the best option for your unique features, desired look, maintenance preferences, and skin type.
​
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing agent is applied before and throughout the procedure as needed. While most clients experience minimal discomfort, sensitivity levels vary from person to person. Some redness, tenderness, or swelling may occur immediately following treatment and is a normal part of the healing process.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Important Note:
Everyone’s healing time is different: Some people’s brows may scab quickly and fall off quickly and some may take a bit longer. Don’t worry if it’s taking more time. And if you have patchy spots or if your newly tattooed brows have disappeared, this is totally normal.​
When you return home from the procedure, gently wash off all the lymph fluid with distilled water (lymph fluid is the clear liquid that comes out from the skin). The amount of lymph fluid varies for different people. Blotting and washing for some people, may be required more than once.
Be gentle while washing your brows. Do not use any facical soap on your brows.
Do not spray water directly onto your brow, just cup your hands and gently splash the water onto your brows.
Let your brows AIR DRY COMPLETELY after each wash.
Put a small amount of ointment on a clean q-tip and gently apply a thin layer across the brows. This helps the healing process and minimizes itchiness.
Repeat this step until your brows are fully healed.
For oily skin types: Apply aftercare ointment from the 5th day onward, unless your brows begin to itch, then start on the day they start to itch.
DO Use fresh pillow cases
DO NOT wear makeup over the brow area
DO NOT use any products with glycolic acids, Retin-A, exfoliants or anti-aging properties at ANY TIME on your brow area (not just during healing). These products can cause pigment to fade and lighten prematurely.
DO NOT scratch pick or peel your brows. Let them heal naturally. Even if a scab is hanging, let it fall off on its own!.
AVOID exposure to sunlight for 30 days. It’s time to wear a nice hat.
AVOID heavy sweating activities or workouts for one week.
LEAVE the makeup OFF your brows including sunblock for 1-10 days (time varies from person to person)
NO FACIALS or Botox for 4 weeks after the procedure.
AVOID any other beauty procedures near the treated area; including, laser treatment, waxing, tinting or chemical exfoliants

AVOID sleeping on your face. Please note: Sometimes when you sleep, you may accidentally scratch the brows because it’s itchy.
AVOID scratching your brows.
NO Alcoholic beverages for 3 days.
Pigment will slowly fade over time depending on:
One’s skin type. (Oily skin – hair strokes will both fade and blur over time.)
Sun exposure
Metabolism
Certain medication (Acne medications and cream such as Glycolic acids, Retin-A, exfoliants or anti-aging)
Facial surgery
Smoking
Frequent exercise – the salt in sweat will cause the pigment to purge from the skin
Youth – simply put, the younger/healthier you are, the faster your cells turn over
Anti-aging skincare products
Lighter pigment – blondes fade faster than brunettes
Schedule maintenance visits as needed to keep your brows looking fresh. Periodic touch-ups will ensure longer lasting results.

Please read our care instructions carefully before booking your appointments! Not adhering to our care instructions can impact your healed results.
It is recommended to eat something before your appointment to make sure your blood sugar levels stay stable during the procedure.
No excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption 24 hours before your procedure. Alcohol and caffeine can thin the blood, which causes the skin to be hypersensitive, and bleed/bruise more easily.
Avoid sun tanning one week prior to the procedure.
Avoid blood thinning medications for 24 hours before the procedure. This includes Aspirin, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen, fish oils tablets. Please consult your physician if this is an issue.
Eyelash extensions should be removed 3 days prior to the procedure
Discontinue Retin-A one week prior to the procedure
No Botox around the eye area 2 weeks prior.
Eyelash growth serums like Latisse bring extra circulation to the lash line area which results in more growth of hair/lashes. This can cause the skin to be hypersensitive and bleed easily. It is recommended to discontinue the use of these products at least 3~6 months before your treatment.
Do not wear any eye makeup on the day of your appointment.
If you wear contact lenses, please wear glasses on the day of your appointment.

No eye makeup is allowed until the scabs completely fall off.

The eyeliner will start to form scabs and they might look dark and thick. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off in random pieces and might look patchy.
Flaking and crusting on the tattoo area may occur.
Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried on the lashes.
When you try to pull off the scabs that are hanging on your lashes, ensure the scabs are soft enough to slide off from the lashes. Use a mascara brush to help remove the scabs.
Swelling occurs up to 3 days after the procedure, especially in the morning.
Exercising the eyes can help reduce swelling and puffiness. Try blinking actively for 2 minutes in the morning.
