STEP 1: Day 1

Gently blot away excess lymph/fluid with a clean damp cotton pad or gauze as instructed. Do not rub or scrub the brows.

STEP 2: Day 2-7

Always wash your hands before touching or cleansing the brow area.

Gently cleanse your brows twice daily using water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Use your fingertips and gently cleanse in an outward motion.

Pat dry and allow the brows to dry completely.

Don’t worry, gentle cleansing will NOT remove the pigment.

Step 3: Ointment: 

Once the brows are completely dry, apply an extremely thin layer of Aquaphor or your recommended aftercare ointment.

Do not over-apply. Too much ointment can keep the area overly moist and may interfere with healing.

STEP 4: Healing Days 7–14

Flaking, peeling, mild scabbing, and changes in pigment color can be a normal part of the healing process.

Do not pick, scratch, peel, or remove flakes or scabs. Allow them to fall off naturally.

The brows may temporarily appear lighter or uneven while healing. The pigment will continue to settle as the skin heals.

Avoid soaking the brows for approximately 7–10 days. Gentle cleansing is okay.

Avoid makeup directly on the brows until the skin has healed, generally about 7–10 days.

Avoid excessive sweating for approximately 7–10 days.

Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, and prolonged water exposure until healed, generally 10–14 days.

After the brows have healed, protect them from excessive sun exposure and apply sunscreen around the area as appropriate.

THINGS TO AVOID

Do not pick, scratch, or peel the brows.

Do not touch the brows with dirty hands.

Do not allow direct shower pressure to hit the brows while healing.

Do not sleep directly on your face if it causes rubbing against the brows.

Avoid makeup directly on the brows for approximately 7–10 days or until healed.

Avoid excessive sweating for approximately 7–10 days.

Avoid swimming, saunas, jacuzzis, steam rooms, and prolonged water exposure for approximately 10–14 days.

Avoid Retin-A, retinol, glycolic acid, AHAs, BHAs, exfoliating acids, acne products, and manual exfoliation directly on the brow area while healing.

Avoid waxing, threading, or tweezing around the brow area for approximately 3 weeks.

Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, tanning, and similar treatments around the brow area for approximately 4 weeks.
