BROW CARE
Everything You Need to Know to Prep, Heal, and Protect Your New Brows.
Please Read Carefully Before Your Appointment
To ensure the best results and a smooth procedure, follow these guidelines:
No waxing or numbing at least 7 days before your appointment. These can thin the skin and lead to poor healing.
No alcohol for 48 hours prior – it increases bleeding, which can affect results.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, B12, Niacin, Vitamin E, Prenatals, Omega-3/Fish Oil) for 7 days before. These promote bleeding and make the process harder.
No caffeine for 24 hours before – this INCLUDES ENERGY DRINKS, MATCHA & TEAS. It can increase bleeding & cause trauma to the skin making hard to implant the ink. Will result in poor/gray retention. Please DO NOT WALK IN WITH COFFEE we will send you home & full balance will be charged, along with a $150 reschedule fee.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure leading up to your appointment – compromised skin can be harder to work on & can results in needle going too deep into the skin.
Discontinue Retinol/Retin-A/Niacinamide use in the brow area 2 weeks prior – these thin the skin and can affect pigment implantation.
No Botox at least 4 weeks before – we need the Botox to settle to avoid uneven results.
Be aware: you may feel more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
If you are prone to keloids, this procedure is not recommended and will not be performed.
pre-care instructions
Please follow these steps to ensure the best healed results. Every skin type heals differently, so be patient with the process!
Immediately After Your Appointment:
With the provided cleanser, cleanse your brows with the foam in the first hour, blot your brows with a clean paper towel to remove lymph (clear fluid). This prevents massive scabbing and flaking.
Apply a tiny layer of healing balm (a rice grain amount).
Daily Care (Days 7–10):
Gently cleanse brows every 2 hours the first 2 days-no rinse needed (and the following 8 days every 2-4hrs)
→ Use a soft swipe in the direction of hair growth—no scrubbing.Apply a rice grain amount of the provided ointment after each cleanse.
→ Too much suffocates the skin and delays healing. Do not allow them to get too dry either. Keep HYDRATED!Avoid water, soap, shampoo, and conditioner running over your brows.
No steamy hot showers, sweating, or workouts for 7-10 days.
No makeup, oils, Vaseline, or skincare products on the area for 2 weeks.
Do not pick or scratch. Let flaking happen naturally. Keep hydrated with healing ointment.
Sleep on your back to avoid pressure or rubbing.
If you’re itchy CLEANSE YOUR BROWS & APPLY OINTMENT IMMEDIATELY!
What to Expect:
Brows will appear dark and bold at first, then fade, thin out, and lighten about 30-50%
Around Week 2, brows may look like they’ve disappeared—this is normal. Color will return over 4 weeks as your skin heals.
Final results develop at 4–6 weeks, when we see you for your touch-up.
Avoid These to Protect Your Results:
Water, soap, or shampoo on brows (first 10 days)
