PRE & POST CARE
We want you to feel 100% confident, calm, and excited for your upcoming permanent brows! Whether it's your first time or you're coming in for a touch-up, this guide walks you through everything you need to know!
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
To get the best results and smoothest healing, follow these simple steps:
​
-
No alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Avoid blood thinners like ibuprofen, aspirin, or any painkillers for at least 24-48 hours before.
-
Don’t work out, go to the sauna, or get a tan the day of your appointment.
-
No botox, deep peels, retinol, or acne treatments near the brows for 2–4 weeks prior.
-
Pause fish oil, vitamin E, and antibiotics at least 1 week prior.
-
No brow tinting or waxing less than 48 hours before your appointment.
-
You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Helpful tips:
Come with your normal makeup (if you wear it) so we can match your style.
Expect the color to look darker and more defined at first—this is normal and will fade as your brows heal.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
Immediately after the procedure, your brows will look bolder, darker, and more defined. This is just part of the healing process! Over the next 6–8 weeks, your new brows will soften in color and shape.
For the first 10–14 days:
Avoid anything that might irritate or contaminate your fresh brows.
DON'T:
​No swimming, saunas, steamy showers, or hot tubs.
​
No working out or sweating.
​
No makeup, serums, face wash, or creams on your brows.
​
No tanning or UV exposure.
​
No laser facials, threading, or waxing.
​
No picking, rubbing, or scratching.
​
Avoid skincare with acids (like AHAs or salicylic acid) or acne treatments near your brows.
EASY TO FOLLOW HEALING INSTRUCTIONS
Day of Appointment:
Gently blot your brows with clean tissue to remove any fluid (lymph).
Days 1–7:
Gently wash brows twice a day with mild soap or unscented cleanser and water.
Pat completely dry.
Apply a rice-sized amount of healing balm with a Q-tip (don’t rub it in).
Days 5–12 (Flaking Phase):
Brows may flake or peel — don’t pick at them!
Keep moisturizing gently.
Sleep on your back if possible.
After flaking ends (usually Day 10–14):
You can go back to your regular routine.
Still avoid UV exposure and skincare products with active ingredients around the area.
Once healed (around 6–8 weeks):
-
Always wear sunscreen (SPF 50+) on your brows when outdoors.
-
Avoid harsh peels, lasers, and aggressive exfoliants on or near your brows.
Book a touch-up appointment if needed—usually after 6–8 weeks.
