AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROWS:

Day ! WASH: Clean the area with a small amount of sterile water on a cotton pad or Q-tip one time every hour until bed. This will help remove any excess lymph, blood, or pigment that may appear after the procedure.

This step is very important. If not done brows may scab and not heal properly.
Apply a rice grain sized amount of the provided Ointment before bed on the first night to seal you brows and start the healing process.

Day 2-10 KEEP DRY: Keep eyebrows very dry, no sweat & no water.

Ointment Only: apply a rice grain size amount to each brow morning and night. Do not apply too much. The ointment will assist in the healing process, but the skin should still be allowed to heal naturally. If you have oily skin use only before bed each night until the 10 days are up. Never pick. This can cause scarring. Allow skin to naturally exfoliate and flake as it heals.
- Use only the provided "Tattoo Goo," or substitute with Vaseline or Aquaphor. Do not use other ointments, cream with vitamins or antibiotics on eyebrows during the healing process
Never touch your healing brows with dirty hands, this can cause an infection, but you can use clean hands to apply the ointment.
- if at any time after the treatment you experience a combination of the following symptoms: pain, discharge, increased tissue temperature, excessive redness or red lines, and or swelling, this could be a sign of infection and you should seek medical attention immediately

Day 11: Gently wash eyebrows. You can wear eyebrow makeup, gel, and /or sunscreen on your brows at this time.

Note for 10 days following the treatment: Do not get your brows directly wet; water, ocean, pool, sweating or any other liquids for 10 days after the treatment. Even a small drop which seems unimportant may expand the wound and increase your chances of possible infections, cause excessive scabbing to appear, and you may ruin the results. No sweating (of any kind), gym, yoga, swimming. If you work out regularly results may heal more to a powdered look due to the oils the body produces when it gets heated and sweaty. Your Results depend greatly on how well the aftercare instructions are followed.

For 30 days following the treatment: No sunbathing or tanning for 30 days. Direct sun exposure will irritate the healing skin as well as fade the pigment.

After 14 Days: Eyebrow waxing and threading may be performed 14 days after the procedure.

After 30 Days: Tinting may be performed 30 days after the procedure. Sun/tanning exposure may occur.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING HEALING:

Day 1: Skin will feel raw and slightly red. Cleanse hourly and apply ointment at night.

Day 2-5: Brows darken in this first stage of healing. Use ointment sparingly twice a day.

Day 5-10: Brows will begin to dry up. Continue use of ointment. Some flaking may occur. Use ointment a third time during the day to help with dryness.

Day 7-10: As pigment exfoliates they may seem uneven. It may seem as if all the pigment is falling off and nothing is left. They may seem MILKY or WHITE as the skin heals- the pigment is underneath a layer of healing skin.

Day 10-14: Brows may seem too light, this is because the new skin that heals over the pigment has a cloudiness to it.

Week 2-3: the color will re-emerge. Brows could need another session if they are too light or if areas need more color. Please contact me at this point to schedule a touch up.

Week 6-8: Touch up appointment process will be similar to the first. Jeana can slightly alter the shape or color as needed.

Take Note:

• No Retinols, AHA’s, exfoliating treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, botox and any other strong treatments for 6-8 weeks after your procedure.

• Smoking WILL cause the pigment to fade prematurely and anesthetics will not last as long.

• DO NOT USE growth enhancement products such as Latisse, Revitabrow, Grandelash, one month prior and after treatment has fully healed as it may shift your color or cause hyperpigmentation.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:

• WHILE YOUR SKIN HEALS, BE PREPARED FOR THE COLOR TO INTENSITY AND TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, SHARPER, BRIGHTER, OR DARKER than what is expected for the ﬁnal outcome. This is a normal and expected result of the application and healing process. The healing process will take a number of days to complete, depending on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates and new skin regrows to take its place.

• The color CAN AND WILL fade/soften anywhere from 10% to 50% or more

• Some residual swelling is normal for ALL procedures. Swelling and healing time is individualized. It can be minimal on clients but every client is different. Blanching (whiteness around the treatment area) and redness is to be expected and can vary from client to client. It can last a few hours to a few days.

• The area may appear uneven, dry, itchy, tender, red & irritated. This is all 100% normal. DO NOT PICK. These symptoms will dissipate each day and vary on an individual basis.

• Picking can lift color and pigment from the treated area resulting in unevenness and blank spots. Let the brows ﬂake off naturally.

• Your brows may not exfoliate evenly. Please do not pick at the scabs. During the exfoliation process your color may look weak, orangey, pinkish, or grey. This will not be your ﬁnal result. It takes a full 6 weeks or more for your true color to surface. Please be patient and wait until you are fully healed before you critique your eyebrows. Any reﬁnements can be addressed at a follow up visit.

• Healing is speciﬁc to each client. It is important to realize that you will need a color boost every 2 years to maintain its fresh natural appearance. Fading WILL happen after each procedure. We do not have control over your bodies healing process.

• After about a week, the skin will be in its healing stage and may appear white or milky. This will give the pigment a cloudy appearance.

• Everyone’s genetics, physiological makeup, and lifestyle will affect the treatment in various unique ways. You may need to powder and/or pencil your eyebrows even after the healed results. This is an enhancement to your natural brows.... not a permanent one.

• If you are out in the sun a lot, have oily skin, use anti-aging creams,

Retin-A /retinol products, acidic cleansers, natural elements, regular chemical peels, or exercise frequently, your permanent makeup WILL fade prematurely. The better you take care of the treated area and follow the provided aftercare, the longer it will last.

• Remember, no two sides of the face are the same or perfectly symmetrical. While trying to obtain perfect symmetry is our goal, note that nothing is PERFECT.

• When you leave the studio your shaded eyebrows and/or your hair strokes are intact. Remember your technician will do their best to help you heal properly but lifestyle, genetics, age, and certain environmental factors can/will contribute to the retention of your eyebrows.

• Follow up visits should be done within 6-8 weeks after your initial treatment
