Semi-Permanent Brow Tattoo
After treatment, the skin may react as reddish/pinkish (depending on skin conditions) around the treated area. don’t worry, it’s normal and temporary due to the anesthetic.
depending on skin conditions, the eyebrows will appear darker and thicker on the following days. Then they’ll scab then look way too light and then finally the colour returns which means you’ll be ready for a touch up appointment to fix any imperfections. Colour retention depends on skin conditions, oily skin has less retention compared to normal skin. TRUST THE PROCESS!!
The following morning after treatment: Keep the area clean by washing with freshly washed hands and a mild (unscented) soap. Do not use a washcloth or sponge to remove soap. Simply splash with water. Do not use cleansing creams, acne cleansers or astringents. Use a mild, natural (unscented) soap.
FOR POWDER BROWS: Apply the aftercare ointment with a Q-tip. Use the ointment very sparingly. Too little is better than too much. We want your skin to breathe and not clog your pores. Blot off excess ointment with a clean Q-tip. Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before. FOR MACHINE HAIR STROKES: Apply wet cotton or use nano mister on eyebrows for 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes each time until there is no more scabbing (around 4-5 days). Keeping eyebrows moist would boost the healing process. Dry-healing brings out the best results. DO NOT apply any medications or ointments on eyebrows, only water.
Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
