Brow Care Instructions
BROWS PRECARE
Stop all acne cream treatment (if possible) because this thins out and over sensitize the skin. Please consult with your physician if it is ok to do so. If you are on accutane, you must be off this medication for one year to be able to receive this treatment.
No laser or chemical peels at least 4 weeks prior.
No botox or micro needling 4 weeks prior.
Avoid grooming the eyebrows - we'll groom them at the appointment. Allow your brows to grow out for 1-2 weeks prior to the appointment so I can see how your natural hair grows.
If you’ve tinted your eyebrows, please wait two weeks before booking.
Please avoid any type of blood thinning medication for a minimum of 24-48hours prior to your procedure unless is unsafe to do so for your health. Please ask your doctor before stopping these types of medications. Such as: Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Advil, Niacin, Voltaren, Indocid. As well as Prenatal Vitamins, Vitamin E or Nutritional Shakes.
Tylenol is recommended if you have a low pain tolerance.
Avoid natural blood thinners: turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne peppers, vitamin e.
Avoid working out or strenuous exercises as this increases blood flow.
Absolutely no caffeine and alcohol for at least 24-48 hours prior.
If you wear any contacts, please bring your glasses with you on the day of. You will need to remove your contacts for the duration of the procedure.
During your menstrual cycle, you will be more sensitive. Please plan accordingly.
If you have any skin irritation or blemishes on your brows, please reschedule your appointment.
If you are feeling sick, having cold or flu like symptoms, sinus/respiratory infections, please reschedule your appointment.
BROWS AFTERCARE
Following the procedure, lymph fluids/plasma may appear on the brows. Dab the area gently with cotton pads to wipe away the fluids. The less lymph fluids, the less scabbing occurs.
Avoid getting brows wet in the shower (wash from neck down or utilize dry shampoo). Disposable visors will be provided in your aftercare kit. We do not want your brows to be drenched in water!
While we do not want your brows to completely drenched in water, we do want to keep the area clean. Your brows are considered an open wound so it's very important that we keep the area clean to reduce the risk of infection. Please use an antibacterial soap twice a day (once in the am and once again in the pm) to cleanse the brows. PAT GENTLY DRY! Do not leave water residue on brows.
Do not let the scabs get soggy! Blot immediately if the area gets wet.
Do not apply makeup to your brows. Your brows are considered an open wound. Infection can occur from bacteria from your products.
DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR SCRATCH your brows. Doing so may prematurely remove pigment from your brows and/or cause scarring. Let it fall off naturally.
Avoid steamy showers, saunas, hot baths, jacuzzi, and working out for 2 weeks.
Avoid sun exposure, sun tanning, laser, or chemical treatments for 4 weeks.
Do not drink alcohol in excess. It may slow down the healing process.
Sleep on your back. Sleeping on your side can cause one side to heal lighter.
Always wash your hand with disinfectant soap before touching the brow area!
* It will take about 10-14 days for your brows to finish peeling. in this time frame, your brows may appear light (possibly even looks like pigment is missing). Do not worry - the skin takes about 27 days to regenerate itself. The color will resurface. Give it time and trust the process!
* Touch ups are not included but it is recommended to book your initial touch up 6-8 weeks out. The initial touch up session goes over any minor imperfections, changes to the shape, or to add more color. If you are happy with the shape and color at the end of the healing process, then no further action is needed! Enjoy your new brows and check in routinely to see if a touch up is needed :)
