Brow Tattooing Aftercare

Your brow tattooing aftercare is incredibly important

Below is a brief guide on the best way to take care of your brows after they’ve been tattooed. This will all be explained in more detail during your appointment and if you have any questions at all, please contact us.

1 WEEK AFTER

During the healing process, the tattooed area will become intensely dark and minor scabbing will develop as new collagen rich skin forms underneath. This new skin temporarily makes the pigment appear to be faded and dull. This is completely normal and any inconsistencies will be touched up at your following appt. Protect and nourish this new skin by following the aftercare and the colour will return within a few weeks.

AFTERCARE

1. Gently clean the area with a damp cotton tip, prior to applying Aftercare product.
2. Dab the area with a clean tissue if necessary, to ensure the area is dry.
3. Using another clean cotton tip, apply a very thin layer of Aftercare product to the area and allow to dry.
4. Remove any excess product with the other end of your cotton tip.
5. Repeat this process 1-2 times daily, or as directed.

• Do this before showering rather than after, so that the product can assist with protecting your healing Brows from water.
• Do not saturate the area with water during healing, until the final scabs naturally fall off(1-2 weeks).
• Avoid cleansers on or near the area during healing, once healed be cautious of exposing the area to intensive fading treatments such as; chemical peels, microneedling, retinols, and cosmeceutical grade products.
• Once healed, minor patchiness in colour may be present. This is normal and will be adjusted accordingly at the touch-up. We recommend wearing brow products to blend these areas until then if needed.
• Return for a touch-up at 4-8 weeks.
• Avoid cardio workouts and excessive sweating until the healing area starts to scab up (2-5 days). Once scabbing starts, you may resume normal exercising, however, be cautious of exposing the area to sweat.
• Do not touch the healing area with fingers.
• Avoid hot, steamy showers, steam rooms and saunas until healed.
• Avoid spray tanning the area until healed.
• Avoid consuming alcohol for 48 hours post-treatment.
• Protect the area from sun exposure and ensure your skin is in good health for 2-weeks prior to treatment.
• Do not pick the flaking skin or scabs.
• Expected healing time is 5-9 days.
