AFTER CARE & WHAT TO EXPECT
Day 1: Gently blot brows every 20 minutes for the first 2 hrs to remove any excess lymph fluid your body may secrete using a tissue. Removing this fluid helps prevents buildup or scabbing. Excess scabbing can cause loss of color retention.
Day 1-7: Blot brows with a clean, damp cotton pad morning and and night. Apply ointment or Aquafore only when needed to treated area. When applying ointment, it is important to not use more than a rice grain amount. The brows should not look glossy, the ointment should be barely noticeable allowing the skin to breathe.
If the area feels tight, itchy and dry then it should be treated. Those with excessively oily skin should avoid applying ointment all together because the natural oils are enough to keep it moist.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING & AFTER YOUR SESSION
Your new brows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment may appear sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton pad, as this was excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin.
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it may look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly, however, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure may cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
