Brow Prep + Aftercare
Brow Prep Information: 2 WEEKS PRIOR: - Botox/filler should be done prior - No medical grade skin resurfacing product on or near your brows (exfoliants/acids) - Limit use of tretinoin 1 WEEK PRIOR: - Avoid waxing and shaping - Avoid tinting - Avoid sunburns DAY OF APPOINTMENT: - Avoid alcohol and blood thinners - You may wear makeup

Days 2-10: Every morning and night, gently blot your brows with a damp paper towel/washcloth. Gently pat dry and add a small amount of balm.
Brow Healing Process: Day 1: Expect mild redness. Area may feel numb due to numbing cream. You may return to work the same day or the next! Days 2-4: These are your dark days. DO NOT PANIC! Brows appear darker in this stage because scabs are forming over the procedure area. Days 5-12: These are your lighter days. Scabs are beginning to heal which causes them to become itchy. DO NOT scratch, rub or pick at your brows! The scabs can look like dandruff or dry skin. During this stage, the epidermis is healing and forming a new layer of skin over the procedure area, resulting in the brows looking very light. Days 13-21: During this stage, all the pigment will resurface and the brows will reach their final appearance. 6-8 Weeks: Your final Touch Up session should be scheduled. This is crucial for your treatment to be complete. Here I will add or darken any areas that healed to lightly, ensuring your Permanent Makeup will blend and have longer, lasting results! ***Expect your permanent makeup to heal 40-70% lighter after your initial appointment. Remember, this is a tattoo on your face! I want to be more conservative at your first appointment and add, darken and perfect any areas at your Touch Up appointment.

Makeup is optional (It looks nice for pictures). If you regularly fill in your brows, lips or eyeliner feel free to come to your appointment with them filled in. This gives me the opportunity to see what shape and color you like. If you don’t usually wear makeup, no worries! I will determine the perfect shape and color for you based off my mapping measurements and color theory. Before I begin your procedure, you will approve the final shape and be involved with the process every step of the way!
