CONGRATULATIONS! on your new brows! PLEASE follow the instructions below to make the healing process as easy and pain free as possible, and keep your brows looking bright and fresh for years to come.

Gently wash your brows with antibacterial (non fragrance) soap three hours after your procedure. Splash with water to rinse and pat dry with a paper towel (DO NOT WIPE). Let your brows air dry for at least five minutes before applying a thin layer of After Inked. Repeat this procedure daily.
Please wash your face carefully around the eyebrows without getting water on the treated area. When showering keep your face away from the shower head or take a bath instead. If you do get water on the treated area immediately pat dry with a paper towel or tissue. You want to avoid excess water on the brows other than when you are cleaning them.
Apply the given aftercare (After Inked) for three days with freshly washed hands. For dry skin you can apply ointment for five days.
DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Doing so will pull the pigment out of your brows and may cause scarring. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off.
Use a good sunscreen after 10 days. Sun exposure will fade your semi-permanent cosmetics.

APPROXIMATE DAILY HEALING SCHEDULE

Days 1 & 2:

Your are approximately 20-40% darker, bolder and more solid then your healed result will be. Under the pigment the skin is red and the pigment has been deposited into the layer of skin containing dead skin cells, combined this gives the appearance of a darker color. There may be minimal swelling but because typically the eye brows do not retain much fluid, swelling will be minimal. The top layers of skin will begin to shed around days 5 through 7. You will see a loss of color and is completely normal. DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch.

Days 3 & 4:

Your eyebrows may begin to itch and the pigment may appear somewhat raised. DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch.

Days 5 - 7:

The skin is now rapidly exfoliating and will shed evenly if left alone. The color under the exfoliating skin will start to appear very light and day by day will start to appear darker. Please be patient and give the color a couple weeks to become darker.

Days 30 - 40:

Now is the time to critique your brows, the pigment has now become part of the dermis, seen under the epidermis.

THINGS TO AVOID

Direct sun exposure and tanning of any form for a minimum of four weeks.
Pools, saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers for at east three weeks.
Excess sweating and sleeping on your face for the first ten days.
Makeup or skin products on the brows for at least two weeks.
Facials for the first two weeks.
The use of Retin - A or Tretinoin, Chemical peels, Acid peels, or any other rapid skin exfoliating products used on the forehead area will cause the semi-permanent pigment of the eyebrow area to fade prematurely. Proper care following your procedure is necessary to achieve the best results. Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. This is the purpose of the touch up visit.
