Before & After Care
Eyebrow Short Term Care
Before
Do not work out the day of the procedure. Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, or IBUprofen 24 hours before the procedure. No alcohol or caffeine on the day of the procedure. No waxing or tinting 3 days before the procedure. Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
After
NO water, cleansers, creams, makeup, or any other products on the treated area for 10 days. Clean the area with unscented baby wipes 4-5 hours after the procedure. DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can lead to scarring. Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 3-4 weeks after the procedure. Avoid heavy sweating for the first 10 days. NO facials, botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks. Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
Please note: Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural scabbing and healing for the first 10 days. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures.Once scabs are completely off it will appear much lighter! Give it a couple weeks for color to darken.
Permanent makeup is NOT recommended for any clients who are or have: Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.), pregnant, diabetic, chemotherapy (consult your doctor) viral infections and/or disease, epilepsy, pacemaker or major heart problems, organ transplant, sick (cold/flu/etc), botox in the past 1 month, Accutane in the past year.
​Use good sunscreen on your eyebrows if you plan to be in the sun for prolonged periods of time. If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent makeup. RetinA/Tretinoin or any other rapid skin exfoliation products used regularly on the forehead area will cause the permanent makeup around the eyebrow area to fade prematurely. The use of chemical peels and acid peels regularly on the forehead region can also cause eyebrow tattoos to fade Additional Information: antacids, thyroid, and anxiety medications have been reported as interfering with permanent makeup either by affecting retention or shifting the pigment to an undesirable tone. Remember, everything we eat and drink has its own chemical structure and the electron ends that are unattached or free, may get attached to other compounds inside the body forming a new molecule that may show a different color spectrum. With that info, an educated client may have better expectations and know that they may need more frequent adjustments than others.
