• Do not wax, thread or tint your brows area 2 weeks prior 
• Avoid chemical peels or microdermabrasion 2 weeks prior 

Pre care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and sensitivities during the procedure. 

• DO NOT WET BROWS. Make sure to keep brows dry while showering (wash hair last, keeping head tilted back so the water doesn’t run towards your brows). Wash your face in the sink, using only a damp cloth to cleanse around the brows. Normal washing routine can be used for the lower half of your face (from the eyes down). If your eyebrows get wet during the healing process pat them dry with a towel.
• NO EXCESSIVE SWEATING DURING THE 14 DAYS. This is to avoid an infection in the freshly tattooed area. Remember, sweat and dirt can accumulate round the brow hair. Avoid saunas, swimming and sweating until the area is completely healed.
• DO NOT TOUCH, RUB, PICK OR SCRATCH your brows. Try to sleep on your back as much as possible. Rubbing the brows on the pillow/sheets can lead to premature fallout of the scabs and low retention.
• NO SUN EXPOSURE
• NO OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE BROWS for 14 days. This includes makeup, oils, soaps, or any other products.

• Days 2-5 Brows will darken as the scabs form over the newly pigmented area. They will appear VERY DARK AND THICK. Don’t panic!
  Days 5-10 The scabs will harden and fall off. The fronts and tails of the brows usually fall off first. Let the scabs fall off on their own! PLEASE DO NOT PULL THEM OFF!
  Days 10-15 The brows will look very, very light after the flaking comes off. This is normal! The color will come back.
  Days 15-30 The brows will continue to darken each week, and will appear patchy at times. Again, this is normal. It takes about a month for the brows to fully heal. Any adjustments to the brows will be done at your re-touch. Call us to schedule your re-touch appointment, if you don't already have your appointment.  
  ** This timeline is typical, but not definite. If your brows take a little longer to heal, don’t worry. Every skin is different.
  CLEAN and EXFOLIATE the brow area once a week once fully healed (4 week) to maintain the brows looking fresh. Remember, the pigment is underneath the skin, and if you let dead skin cells build up over the area, the pigment will appear dull and very light. Keeping the skin in the area moisturized will also help the tattoo appear vibrant and dark!
