EYEBROWS

EYEBROWS AFTERCARE GUIDE

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure beautiful, long-lasting results and seamless healing. Please follow these instructions carefully.

WHAT TO DO

Ointment Care: Apply a very thin veil of the provided ointment twice daily for 7 days. Stop applying after day 7 as your skin no longer needs it beyond the first week.

Face Cleansing: You may wash your face gently from the day of your appointment. Gently rinse your brows with water to keep the area clean and free of buildup.

Showering: Normal showering can resume the day after your procedure.

Swimming: Swimming in salt or chlorinated water is fine after 3 to 4 days. Immediately rinse your eyebrows with fresh water after exiting the pool or ocean.

Gym & Workouts: Light, low-impact exercise is fine during the first week.

WHAT TO AVOID

Excess Ointment: Avoid heavy or frequent applications. Oversaturating the skin traps moisture and degrades pigment retention.

Picking or Scratching: Do not pick, pull, or scratch at any flaking skin or micro-scabs. Allow them to shed naturally to prevent patchy color or scarring.

Strenuous Cardio & Activity: Avoid strenuous cardio and strenuous activity to prevent lifting pigment from the skin.

Direct Sun Exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure for 3 weeks. Always shield your eyebrows with a hat when outdoors.

Brow Makeup: Do not apply any makeup, foundation, powder, or brow product on your eyebrows for at least 10 days.

Steam, Saunas & Facials: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and steam facials for 10 days.

Eyebrow Tinting: Do not tint your eyebrows for 3 weeks post-procedure to keep harsh chemicals away from healing tissue.

Active Skincare Ingredients: Strictly avoid active ingredients—including Retinol, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, AHAs/BHAs, and Benzoyl Peroxide—on or near your brows during and after healing. Always apply active skincare products at least 2–3 cm away from the brow area to prevent fading.

WHAT TO EXPECT OVER THE NEXT 4 WEEKS

Days 1–3 | Dark & Bold: Your brows will look darker, bolder, and slightly larger than the expected final result as excess pigment and natural fluid surface. They will soften significantly as they heal.

Week 1 | Flaking & Regeneration: The skin will dry out and flake lightly. The color may appear uneven or patchy during this stage—this is a normal part of skin healing.

Weeks 2–3 | Fading & Softening: Color intensity softens and fades by approximately 10% to 50% Brows may temporarily appear lighter than expected ("ghosting phase") before pigment stabilizes.

Week 4 | Final Healed Result: The skin has fully regenerated, and the true pigment color resurfaces. Any minor gaps or uneven areas will be perfected at your 4–6 week touch-up appointment.
