WHAT TO EXPECT
Immediately the days following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. The complete healing process takesabout 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 and wait at least 6 weeks to see the true color.
Day of:
After the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid.
Do this until the oozing has stopped.
Days 1-7 (wash & moisturize):
Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented
cleanser. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.
After each wash it is very important to let the brows dry completely before you add
moisturizer. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products
containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.
When dry, use a sterile Q-tip and GENTLY dab (DO NOT RUB) the balm provided onto
your brows using an amount equivalent to the size of half a grain of rice for each brow. (If
you use the correct amount you will not see a glossy look on your brows.
Day 5-12 (peeling/flaking phase):
Once this process begins you can discontinue washing and keep moisturizing your brows.
Do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own.
DO NOT sleep on your face, please try everything possible to refrain from rolling on to
your face in your sleep.
When your brows are no longer flaky (typically between day 10-14) this phase of healing is
complete and you can resume regular activities. You will still want to avoid all products
on them that include active ingredients (acne or anti aging products, salicylic acid, etc)
and protect your fresh brows from UV exposure.
ONCE EYEBROWS ARE HEALED
Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once
completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 spf or greater) 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, microdermabrasion, and chemical face peel products and exfoliants 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. Continue at your own discretion. Laser procedures
may darken, lighten, or discolor the tattooed area.
Once the treated area is completely healed, any changes or additions that need to be
made can be done at your follow-up appointment no sooner than 6-8 weeks later.
There are no implied or written guarantees if you do not take care of your tattoo.

residue could stain your pillowcase for at least 1 week after your appointment. - Day of the procedure: Lips will feel swollen, dark and very dry after your
treatment. Pat lips gently with a wipe or tissue to remove excess lymph every hour
or so on the first day. You may also apply ice packs to help if they are very swollen. - Day 2-3: Apply a moisturizing lip ointment twice a day to moisten and prevent
them from forming a crust. Allow lips to dry for 5 minutes prior to applying your
aftercare lip balm. This should be done for at least 5-6 days post treatment. - Day 4: Apply a moisturizing lip ointment at night to prevent scabs and dryness,
continue to apply it for the entire week until the area is completely healed. Always
use a Q-tip to apply the ointment. Once the lips are no longer tender, they may
become flaky. This is normal. - Do not pick or scratch them. Doing so can significantly reduce the amount of
