Pre-care & Aftercare

IMPORTANT NOTES
Avoid booking on your menstrual cycle if possible as it can increase your pain. The brows must be free of all irritations including eczema, pimples, bruises, open wound, psoriasis, etc.
Reschedule if you’re sick with a cold, flu or viral/bacterial infection.

EYEBROWS pre-care instructions:
To achieve the best results, it is essential that you understand and follow the pre-care instructions. This process can take up to 4 weeks.

4 Weeks Prior:

• Botox & Fillers must be done at least 3 weeks before or after your appointment.
• Discontinue Glycolics, Retin-A or Retinol products 3 weeks prior to your appointment.
• No Anti-aging and/or Anti-acne products
• No Surgery of any kind.

1-2 Weeks Prior:

• Avoid sun and tanning bed 1-2 weeks prior to appointment
• No facial or chemical peels 2 weeks prior to appointment.
• Avoid waxing or tinting 1 week prior to appointment.
• Exfoliate the area to prep your skin for the procedure.

48-72 Hours Prior:

• Avoid blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, NSAIDS, vitamin E, fish oil or vitamins unless medically necessary 48-72 hrs prior to your appointment

24 Hours Prior:

• Avoid ALCOHOL or CAFFEIN 24hrs prior to your appointment. This will prevent any excess bleeding, oozing and minimizes swelling during the procedure.

On the day of your appointment:

• Feel free wear your makeup if you choose to provide an idea of your desired color and shape. We provide thorough mapping and measurements to create the perfect brow shape for your face.

Aftercare compliance is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result. Please follow the guidelines as instructed by your technician to obtain the best results. Do not judge your procedure while in the healing stage. It may require a touch up or more than one touch up as everyone heals differently. The procedure area has to heal completely before we can address any concerns. Healing takes about 4- 6 weeks.

• No water, cleansers, creams, makeup, or any other products on treated area for 10 days or until all peeling is done.
• Avoid working out for the next 7-10 days or until all scabbing has completed.
• Keep the area lightly moist using a q-tip with sterile Aquaphor (very lightly and not overly greasy).  Apply as needed ONLY when it feels dry or itchy.
• If slight crust appears on the pigmented surface, do not force removal by picking or scratching.
• Don’t be alarmed if color comes off on the q-tip when applying the ointment — this is normal.
• Avoid hot, steamy, long showers (leave the door cracked opened if you are able to).
• No makeup on or around the brow area during the healing process.
• Avoid tinting of brows for 6 weeks following the procedure.
• Avoid sun for 7 to 10 days following the procedure. It is suggested to wear a hat if you are expected to be out in the sun for a long period of time. Do not let the brim of the hat touch your brow area.
• Be mindful of how you sleep, if you can avoid sleeping on your side or stomach, it is suggested to do so. Sleeping on your back is recommended.
•  Avoid chlorine pools, saunas and Jacuzzis, hot yoga, hair dryers, and any steam-like environment etc.
• Avoid Retin A, Renova, Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acids, Aloe, and Vitamin E products.
• No Gardening for the first 3 to 4 days to prevent possible infection.
• If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI, or other medical procedures inform them that you have had an eyebrow tattoo.
•  If any signs of infection occur, abnormal swelling, redness or pain associated with the procedure, call your physician and please give us a call.
