How to care for your new brows:

 

• 30 minutes following end of procedure proceed to wipe accumulated lymph fluid off the brows with a cotton round moistened with warm water

• Apply a very thin layer of ointment after all the cleansing is complete. (Provided only for Powder Brows)

• Following the next morning proceed to wash the area with a mild antibacterial soap, air dry and apply a bit of ointment. In the evening clean eyebrows with spring water moistened pads, let air dry and apply a bit of ointment.  Repeat this process for 7-10 days

• After all scabbing has flaked off, wash the area with mild antibacterial soap and continue to moisturize as needed. Please do not avoid permanently washing your brows after healing has finished, doing so may cause dandruff or dead skin build-up.

 

 

 How to care for your new Lips

 

• 30 minutes following end of procedure proceed to wipe accumulated lymph fluid off of the lips  with a cotton round moistened with warm water

• Apply a very thin layer of ointment/Vaseline after all the cleansing is complete.

• Repeat the process 2/3 times a day for two weeks and once the scabs has completely lifted.

• Following the next morning proceed with applying a bit of ointment. In the evening clean lips with spring water moistened pads, let air dry and apply a bit of ointment.  Repeat this process for 7-10 days

• After all scabbing has flaked off, wash the area with mild antibacterial soap and continue to moisturize as needed. Please do not avoid permanently washing your lips after healing has finished as you may find a dead skin build-up.

 

Please Note:

• Avoid makeup, Retin-A & glycolic acids on pigmented areas while healing.

• Avoid touching with fingers, sunscreens, direct sunlight, tanning beds and self-tanners on pigmented areas.

• Avoid swimming pools, oceans, hot tubs, saunas and hot steamy showers. Shower with back to shower head to avoid water, shampoo and conditioner getting into pigmented area.

• Avoid dirt (as in gardening), extreme perspiration for the first week to prevent infection.

• Never use topical antibiotics unless given to you at time of procedure.

• Use a good sunscreen daily, once fully healed.

 

 

 

Important Notes:

• Your Brows/Lips can appear to be very dark to very light. The reason behind this is your skin has healed on the surface and a new layer of skin is masking the colour. It will be roughly 3 weeks before the colour has settled enough to see how much colour you have kept.

• The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised if you are stressed or have a poor diet.

• Keep in mind that in most cases some unevenness of colour is to be expected. There is a purpose to your retouch up to allow me to fine tune your enhancement. You must attend this appointment as your enhancement is not finished. 

 

 

Long Term Care:

 

• Use a good Sun cream, sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics

• If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of any permanent cosmetics

• If you donate blood, it’s a Red Cross policy to wait one-year after any tattooing procedure
