The first 10 days are the most crucial to your healing. This is the time the pigment is bonding to the dermis, solidifying your long-term results.
Immediately following your appointment, your brows will appear crisp and bold, and will heal 30-50% softer in appearance, while staying true to color.
Your brows will darken by 1-2 shades for the first 4-5 days before sloughing off. You should never feel like you can't leave the house for work or socialization.
While rare, you may experience slight swelling or redness post-appointment, but this usually subsides in 24-48 hours.
For the first 7 days it is recommended to rinse your brows with lukewarm water once in the morning and once at night, applying the provided aftercare 3-4 times a day. This keeps your brows flaking softly as a natural part of the healing process and prevents your brows from forming scabs.
Let the flakes gently slough off on their own. These flakes could be attached to pigment, and pulling them off could result in loss of pigment or scarring.
Once your brows have finished flaking, a light layer of skin will create a mask over your brows appearing much lighter as if they have healed out much of the pigment. Around week 3, your brows will bloom back out as your skin regenerates.
You may shower or bathe normally, however do not submerge in, or splash your brows with, water. When showering, apply a thin layer of aftercare as a barrier.
Keep all cleansers, moisturizers and makeup away from your brow area for the first 10 days. Chemicals of any kind can cause premature fading and possible pigment discoloration.
Avoid all sun exposure. This will drastically fade your brows, could cause adverse reactions, and in many cases results in pigment discoloration.Protect your brows fully with a hat. You may use sunscreen as well after 10 days, however sunscreen alone is not enough to fully protect them from the sun.
Please do not work out during the first 10 days of your healing. Sweating is highly discouraged. Sodium, a natural occurrence in perspiration, breaks down the compounds of the pigment causing premature fading and can highly affect your healing process.
Avoid Botox, facials, peels, and chemical exfoliants in your brow area for four weeks post-appointment.
At 6 weeks your brows are fully healed, your pigment has softened by about 30% from your immediate post-appointment results, and you're ready for your perfecting touch-up.
Lip Blushing
Avoid salty, oily, and extremely hot foods, and only drink through a straw for the first 5 days.
It is recommended to change your pillowcase every other day.
Apply a small amount of provided aftercare multiple times a day, as needed to keep your lips moisturized.
Your lips can peel for up to 5 days post-appointment. Do not peel or pick your lips, let the skin gently fall off on its own. Peeling and picking can result in hyperpigmentation and scarring.
Keep your lips moist with aftercare, and avoid exposure to sun and whitening toothpaste for 4 weeks.
Avoid facials, peels, and chemical exfoliants around the lip area for 4 weeks post-appointment.
Lash Enhancement Liner
Liner will be crisp and bolder in color - This initial color will heal 30-50% softer.
Gently blot any weeping fluids every 15 minutes until weeping subsides.
Allow dry healing for the first 24 hours.
Avoid sweating for the first 10 days.
Gently rinse with a gentle, unscented, antibacterial cleanser like CeraVe, Cetaphil or Dial, using only your fingertips. Gently pat dry with a clean towel or cotton pad. Do NOT rub or wipe. Apply a tiny amount of aftercare. Repeat this process before bed.
You may discontinue this process after 7 days.
During this time, your liner will darken and may feel tight or dry as pigment masks up and skin adjusts.
Eyes may puff or swell - An ice pack or cool compress is recommended to keep swelling to a minimum. Sleeping at an incline can also help swelling.
Liner will begin to shed naturally and color underneath will appear slightly lighter than your final healed result.
