BROW & FRECKLE AFTERCARE
EVERY CLIENT’S SKIN RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY TO THESE TREATMENTS
THIS INFORMATION ACTS AS A GUIDELINE ONLY
IMMEDIATELY AFTER
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING YOUR PROCEDURE, THE TATTOOED AREA WILL APPEAR TO BE DARKER AND BOLDER IN COLOR AND MORE SHARPLY DEFINED. THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR THE 2-3 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST APPOINTMENT.
SWELLING AND REDNESS IS MINIMAL WITH MOST CLIENTS, AND WILL HAVE DISAPPEAR WITHIN 24-48 HOURS. IN SOME CASES IT MAY LAST AROUND THE EYE AREA FOR UP TO 3 DAYS, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT WORKING OR SOCIALIZING. THE TREATED AREA MAY FEEL A BIT LIKE SUNBURN AFTERWARDS BUT THERE SHOULD BE MINIMAL DISCOMFORT.
YOU MAY SHOWER OR BATHE NORMALLY, BUT AVOID USING ANY SOAPS OR CLEANSERS ON THE TREATED AREA FOR up to two weeks AS THEY CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE BONDING PROCESS THAT MUST TAKE PLACE FOR THE PIGMENT TO STABILIzE IN THE DERMIS.
WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE TOUCHING THE TATTOOED AREA.
KEEP THE TATTOOED AREA CLEAN BY using a cotton pad and warm WATER AND PATTING DRY WITH A DISPOSABLE PAPER TOWEL AS NEEDED.
AVOID ANY KIND OF MOISTURIZER, OIL AND VASELINE FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. ONLY APPLY A VERY SMALL AMONT OF THE PROVIDED OINTMENT IN THE MORNING AFTER CLEANING THE EYEBROWS WITH WARM WATER. APPLY USING A DISPOSABLE COTTON SWAB. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE YOUR TATTOO FLAKE OFF NATURALLY, RATHER THAN FORM INTO LARGE SCABS.
DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT THE DRY SKIN/FLAKINESS; LET THE SKIN FALL OFF NATURALLY. PICKING CAN CAUSE SCARRING AND PREMATURE LOSS OF PIGMENT. IMPORTANT: ONCE THE FLAKES HAVE FALLEN OFF, A SHINY LAYER OF HEALING SKIN WILL COMPLETELY COVER THE HAIR STROKES. IT WILL APPEAR AS THOUGH THE EYEBROWS ARE GONE. WITHIN 1-2 WEEKS, THE HAIR STROKES WILL SLOWLY REAPPEAR AT A LIGHTER SHADE AS YOUR SKIN REGENERATES.
DO NOT APPLY MAKE-UP TO THE TATTOOED AREA FOR THE FIRST 2 WEEKS. CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND MAY INTERFERE WITH THE HEALING AND COLOR OF YOUR TATTOO.
ONCE THE TREATED AREA IS COMPLETELY HEALED, ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE CAN BE DONE AT YOUR FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT.
THE COMPLETE HEALING PROCESS TAKES ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS, AT WHICH TIME THE TRUE COLOR OF THE TATTOO IS EVIDENT. DURING THIS PROCESS, YOUR TATTOO WILL SOFTEN AND LIGHTEN. BE PATIENT, EVEN IF YOU THINK TOO MUCH COLOR HAS BEEN LOST, AS YOUR SKIN IS STILL REGENERATING AND NATURALLY EXFOLIATING. WAIT AT LEAST 6 WEEKS TO SEE THE TRUE COLOR, AS IT SEEMS TO TAKE ON NEW STRENGTH, AND IT IS ONLY AFTER 6 WEEKS THAT YOUR TOUCH-UP/ADJUSTMENT CAN BE DONE. KEEP IN MIND THAT FEATHERED BROWS HEALED UP TO 30% SOFTER THAN THE INITIAL COLOR.
ONCE HEALED
EXPOSURE TO THE SUN OVER TIME CAN CAUSE FADING AND DISCOLORATION OF THE PIGMENT. ONCE COMPLETELY HEALED, YOU MAY APPLY SUNSCREEN ON THE TREATED AREA. WEAR LARGE SUNGLASSES AND A HAT FOR FURTHER PROTECTION. RINSE AND DRY THE AREA THOROUGHLY WHEN IN CONTACT WITH CHLORINE.
GLYCOLIC ACID, FACE PEEL PRODUCTS AND chemical and non chemical EXFOLIATION MUST BE KEPT AWAY FROM THE TATTOOED AREA AS CONTINUED USE COULD LIGHTEN THE PIGMENT.
IF YOU ARE HAVING LASER RESURFACING OR LASER HAIR REMOVAL AFTER YOUR TATTOO HAS HEALED, PLEASE INFORM THE LASER TECHNICIAN. LASER PROCEDURES MAY DARKEN, LIGHTEN, OR DISCOLOR THE TATTOOED AREA.
