- Allow yourself at least six weeks to heal, before the first touchup.
What to Expect After Your Permanent Eyebrow Session
- Your new eyebrows will go through several phases in the first month in particular.
- Immediately following the session, the deposited pigmentation will appear very sharp and dark. This is because much of the pigment is sitting atop the skin and has not yet fully permeated the skin. The color of the pigment will gradually soften.
- It is expected that you may see some excess pigmentation in the cotton swab used during the cleaning process. You might also think this is the color fading; it isn’t. This is superficial color that was not deposited in the skin.
- Itching and flaking may appear during the first 7-10 days after your semi-permanent brow session. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Rules for the 10 Days After A Brow Session
- To achieve the best possible results, the following list of activities & products must be avoided
- Do not engage in any activity that causes increased amounts of sweating.
- Do not swim.
- Do not use hot saunas, steam baths or Jacuzzis.
- Do not take hot & steamy showers.
- Do not sun tan outdoors and do not visit tanning UV salons.
- Do not receive any laser or chemical treatments, including peels of any kind.
- Do not apply creams or products that contain Retin-A or Glycolic acid anywhere on the face or neck.
- Do not pick, peel or scratch at the micropigmented areas, as this can cause scarring or removal of the deposited semi-permanent brow pigment.
- Avoid touching your face and your eyebrows in particular except when necessary to complete the aftercare instructions listed here.
Steps to Take Before Showering
- Before entering shower, apply a layer of aftercare cream to protect your eyebrows from moisture.
- During the shower, take care to keep your face away from water coming under pressure from the shower head.
- As previously stated, avoid hot and/or steamy water temperatures.
Use of Sunscreen
- Beginning 14 days after your semi-permanent brow session, good skin health depends upon the use of a sunscreen with a minimum SPF30. In particular, daily use of sunscreen helps to protect your beautiful new eyebrows from the fading effects of the sun’s UV rays.
