Post-Procedure
Proper care following your enhancement is necessary to achieve the best results.
Please review the following instructions and refer to them as necessary.
If during the healing process you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me.
Healing time is a standard 7-14 days.
You may experience the following symptoms for 4 days:
-
Minor swelling and redness.
-
Mild tenderness.
-
Itchiness in the eyebrow area.
-
Dry flaking skin.
-
These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process.
Daily care to follow for 7 days:
-
Apply a healing balm (grape seed is the best option) just when your technician advised you and by using a cotton bud.
-
Wash your hands before applying the product and prevent cross-contamination of the product by using a clean cotton bud for each eyebrow.
-
We recommend that you use a gentle facial cleanser to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face.
-
If your enhancement gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean lint free tissue.
-
Keep your hair away from your enhancement to prevent the possibility of infection.
-
Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your enhancement as the color may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring. Allow the color to flake away by itself.
-
Do not receive skincare beauty treatments for 5 days after the application of your enhancement.
-
No make-up or creams should be applied close to your enhancement for 5 days.
Avoid for 2 weeks:
-
Do not expose your enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, Jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools and direct shower spray.
-
Do not receive eyebrow tinting, waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to the brow region.
Important Notes:
-
Remember, your selected color will be stronger and more sharply defined for 10 to 14 days after application but as the healing process occurs the color will soften and lighten.
-
The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet.
-
Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected in some cases up to 60 % This is the purpose of the re-touch visit allowing us to fine tune your enhancement. however if you do not attend your scheduled re-touch appointment you will be charged for any further treatment. Cancellation notice is always 48 hours.
Long Term Care:
-
Use a good sunscreen. Sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics.
-
Excessive fading may occur in sensitive skin types and for reasons we can not forsee. Multiple sessions may be necessary to determine causes of fading and to find the best approach for your skin.
-
If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.
-
Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to.
