Aftercare for BROWS
KEEP THE AREA CLEAN
The most important thing during the healing process is to keep the area clean. Avoid touching the treatment area and absolutely avoid picking or pulling on the brows during the healing process. Itchiness is normal and expected. Please allow the brows to naturally fall off. No makeup or skincare products should be applied
on the brows or near the brows until the healing process has completed.
NO WATER CONTACT
Strictly avoid any water contact on the brows for 7 days. This includes sweat and recreational bodies of water. Please avoid working out for a week.
OINTMENT
Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment twice a day starting on the 3rd day. Avoid over-saturating the brows and continue to apply a rice grain amount of amount until the brows have completely peeled and scabbed off. Please use a clean
applicator or wash your hands prior to application.
DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Avoid excessive sunlight for at least 2 weeks. This includes sunbathing, tanning, etc.
LONG-TERM CARE
For better retention and results, please avoid excessive sunlight and apply sunscreen on the healed treatment area. Please avoid applying any active skincare products that contain anti-aging properties and exfoliants around the treatment area. This includes skincare products that contain retinol, vitamin A, AHA, glycolic acids, salicylic acid, etc. After a year, it is expected for brows to lose their color freshness and begin to slightly look dull. Annual touch ups are
recommended to freshen up the color of the brows and to maintain the shape.
