AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not pick or peel the scabs. If you pick off the scabs prematurely, you are pulling out the pigment with it which will leave you with a bare spot and scarring.
No excessive sweating for 14 days so please avoid exercising/working out. The acidity in your sweat will cause the scab to lift prematurely and cause it to fade even quicker.
No direct sun exposure. Wear a hat if possible. Always wear sunscreen on the brows once healed.
No direct water or submerging the brows in water for 10 days.
No tanning beds for 14 days.
No sauna/steam room/hot tub for 14 days.
Apply Vaseline
2 days AFTER the procedure. For the first 2 days, do not put anything on it.
Apply it TWICE a day (morning and night) if you have dry/normal skin and ONCE a day if you have oily or combo skin.
No makeup or products on the brows.
Keep the area clean. Wash gently with distilled or filtered water and pat dry with a clean tissue. Carefully wipe off the old ointment before reapplying a new layer.
Sleep on your back. Try to avoid sleeping on your face during this time frame, since it may cause you to rub the scab and lift prematurely.
Avoid applying acids (glycolic, lactic or AHA) or any exfoliants for 14 days.
