BEFORE GETTING YOUR EYEBROWS COSMETIC TATTOO TREATMENT
EYEBROW COSMETIC TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
After care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
On day 1 (day of treatment):
• Keep your eyebrows dried within the first 24 hours of the treatment.
• If your eyebrows are weeping, gently blot them with a dry, clean tissue every 30 minutes. This is only really necessary for the first 4 hours but can be done until bed time if your brows continue to weep.
• Stay away from any Caffeine or Alcoholic drinks for the next 24 hours.
In the first 14 days:
• NO makeup or skincare product directly on or around your eyebrow areas
• NO work out or activities that involve excessive sweating
• DO NOT wash your eyebrow tattoos, showers after the first 24 hours are fine but don’t make a point to wash them and always blot dry your eyebrows when wet.
• Ensure showers are not overly warm as this would open the pores and drain your pigments. Cold to lightly warm shower is recommended.
• NO skincare products above the cheekbones.
• Avoid any skincare product containing retinol, AHA, vitamins A, C and E agents.
• Avoid sun exposure, wearing a hat will help.
• NO tanning bed, sauna, or swimming.
• Sleep with a clean pillow case, on your back rather than stomach or sides.
• DO NOT touch the eyebrow with unclean hands or better do not touch at all.
• DO NOT pick, pull, scratch your eyebrow tattoos at all. Allow the scabs to form and flake off by itself. Premature removal of scabs may pull out the pigments and cause color lost/uneven color.
In the first 30 days
• You can now wash your eyebrows gently with warm water and cotton rounds twice daily then blot dry
• Be sure to book in and attend your touch up session
If you have any signs and symptoms of infections, please seek medical care
WHAT’S NORMAL?
• Your eyebrows will go through a healing processes similar to the this illustration. Scabbing varies from client to client, in some case there may be a lot, little or no scab at all.
• Swelling, itching, scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness.
• Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 3-7 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. The 2nd session will address any concerns regarding uneven shape and colors.
• Color change or color loss. As the procedure area heals the color will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear. This is normal. The procedure area has to be completely healed before we can address any concerns. This takes at least four weeks.
• Touch up. A second session is needed 4-8 weeks after the initial appointment to achieve a good result.
• Color refresh. This is cosmetic tattoo so the pigment will fade away gradually. A color-refresh maintenance will be needed every 12-18 months to keep the shape symmetrical and the color refreshed.
Failure to follow after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration.
