Pre+Aftercare

for Permanent Makeup

Immediately Following Your Appointment:

For the first hour after the appointment, blot brows with the cotton pads to remove the lymph (clear liquid) on the brows. Do not let this build up and dry, It will cause large scabs and result in flaky brows.

​

*DO NOT GET YOUR BROWS WET FOR 24 HRS*

​

Cleansing:

Wash your new brows, for the first time, the evening AFTER the day of your appointment. This means after a full 24 hrs has past from your appointment end time.

How To Wash:

  • Wash hands

  • Apply a SMALL amount of provided soap and gently wash in the direction of the hair. Use a LIGHT swipe across the eyebrow, just to help remove excess oil, lymph etc. Be sure to do this OUTSIDE of the shower, over the sink. This will ensure control of the water, temperature and avoid contamination of other products.

  • GENTLY rise with cool/lukewarm water (not hot).

  • Pat dry with clean paper towel, tissue or cotton pad. Do not use a rag or cloth.

  • Apply a THIN coat of the provided ointment provided, DO NOT apply a thick, heavy layer. Apply like a chapstick rather than like a lotion.

​

For The Next Two Weeks:

  • Apply the provided ointment morning and night for 14 days. It should last through your healing process, both the original application and the touch up. It is only necessary to use a rice grain size amount for both brows. You may apply the ointment more than twice if you feel that your brows are dry,itchy or tight, as long as you are applying thin amounts each time.

  • Wash each evening with the provided cleanser.

 

*DO NOT use an exfoliator.

After Care

We recommend a dry healing method (until the scabs are gone - usually it takes about one week, might be longer for some, but generally about that time)

Day 1- may be some swelling by end of day. Clients may apply ice over a clean cloth, but not directly on skin.

Day 2- may be some swelling, but should go down by the end of this day or the next.

Day 3- skin may feel dry, this is normal. Light layer of coconut/grapeseed oil may be applied, but very carefully and not in excess.

Day 4+- continue to keep area dry and free of makeup/products until scabs are gone (no sauna, pools, sunbathing, do not peel scabs)

​

Between appointments, be careful not to use creams/products that contain acids or ingredients that will lighten or exfoliate the skin.

​

  • Blot lips every 10 minutes for the first hour after the appointment. This will reduce scabbing.

  • Be sure to use a cotton swab or clean hands when touching the lips.

  • Apply a thin layer of the given ointment starting 1 hour after the appointment. Keep the lips moisturized at all times but avoid thick layers of ointment.

  • Gently cleanse the lips with the provided cleanser each evening!

  • Swelling will go down within the first 24 hours.

  • You may apply ice 1 hour after the appointment.

  • Drink through a straw and avoid acidic food and drink for 72 hours.

  • Avoid spicy foods for 72 hours.

  • Do not pick or scratch scabs or flakes.

Avoid the following for 2 Weeks:

Additional products besides the given ointment

Kissing/ friction on the lips

Freckles

Clean the application area 24 hours after the appointment. Then twice a day (morning and night) for 2 weeks.

​

Cleanse the area using a liquid, mild, fragrance free soap using only your hands. Do not use a rag or any other kind of facial cleaning tool/brush. These contain bacteria and can cause infection and they can reduce pigment retention. Be sure to rinse all of the soap off and then pat dry with a clean dry paper towel.



Apply a thin layer of the provided ointment after cleansing. This will soothe the area and protect against infection. Do not use anything else on your healing tattoo!

​

You may apply a gentle moisturizer or sunscreen after 1 week.

​

Be sure to have clean hands when touching the application area. Please ensure that any item that comes in contact with the application area is sanitary.

  • Submersion of the application area. Do not soak face in shower or bath. Avoid swimming (pool, lake, ocean).
