BROWS (ombré powder, combo or microblading)

  • DO NOT TOUCH THE HEALING PIGMENTED AREA WITH YOUR FINGERS. THEY MAY HAVE BACTERIA ON THEM AND CREATE AN INFECTION.

  • For the first 24 hours: Lymph fluids may appear on the surface of the brow. Check your brows every 15-30 minutes and take a clean/dry tissue and dab gently over the area. Please rinse your brows with water, gently pat dry and apply the aftercare ointment. Apply a very, vey thin coat (a grain of rice size) of the provided ointment.

  • After 24 hours: Minimal contact with water, if they get wet, be sure to gently pat dry. Resume normal face washing with a gentle cleanser, but avoid submersing them into or dousing them in water.

  • 24-72 hours: Brows will be the darkest at this point! They WILL lighten!

  • Day 2-10: Continue applying a very, very thin coat (a grain of rice size) of the provided aftercare ointment 2-3 times a day and as needed. (i.e. when they feels to dry) for the remaining 7-8 days, or until you are done peeling. Discontinue use after peeling has completed.

    ~To clean, always use a new, dry q-tip to wipe off the existing ointment on your brows, dampen another q-tip with water and gently wipe clean. Pat dry and with a clean/dry tissue and with clean finger reapply ointment.

    ~If slight crust appears on the pigmented surface, this is normal. DO NOT FORCE REMOVAL by picking or scratching! You will remove pigment along with the crusting and create potential for scarring.

    ~You may begin to see peeling on or around Day 4 or 5. This is a normal part of the healing process on some clients.

  • Keep showers quick and avoid facing into the shower head.

  • Sleep on back to avoid pressure on your brows.

  • Do not apply makeup over healing areas. Remember the area is a healing wound and needs to be free of bacteria.

  • Avoid excessive sweating/exercise, sun, saunas and swimming (including chlorinated pools or jacuzzis, the ocean, or recreational bodies of water).

  • Avoid facials 6 weeks after your procedure.

  • Avoid gardening and limit contact with animals near your face.

  • No tinting of brows or lashes until brows are fully healed.

  • Do not traumatize the procedure area while it is healing.

  • Use a broad spectrum sunblock after area has healed to slow fading.

  • Do not use products containing AHA’s on or near pigmented areas including glycol or lactic acid or Retin A products (they will fade pigment).

  • Do not donate blood for one year after procedure, per the RED CROSS.

  • Follow up appointment should be scheduled between 6-8 weeks after initial procedure. New procedures are sometimes a two-step process and final results are sometimes not determined until the follow up visit is completed. Do not judge the procedure while it is in the healing process as it may require a follow up.

  • Any operations such as botox, facial laser treatments or chemical peels will affect the pigment from the procedure and the overall appearance. Please notify your physician prior to performing those services.
