For the first 2 hours, blot the area with clean tissue every half hour to remove any lymph build-up.  If you have sensitive skin, the area will appear reddish, and you might have a slight sunburn sensation.  You can take anti-inflammatory and antihistamine medications for this.

After 2 hours, you can wash the area with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser or something similar, rinse with water and pat dry.  Do not apply any healing balm for the first 24 hours.

NO sweating, tanning, sun, swimming pools, salt water, sauna and steam, makeup and skin care products for seven days

From day two, you can wash the area morning and evening and apply a THIN layer of balm in the evening.  After ten days, your brows should be healed, and you can go back to your regular skincare routine.

Avoid all other products and makeup in the area for 7 – 10 days

For the first 4-5 days, the area will appear dark because of the scab.  You do not need to worry, as this is not your final colour result.

Do not scrub or pick off the scab!  It must come off by itself.

Long-term care includes:

• Sun tanning and tanning beds
• Avoid skin care products and serums with Vit A/ Retinol on the area
• Avoid chemical peels and laser treatments on the area
• Colour boosts are needed once in a while to keep the colour looking fresh (between 2 -5 years) after initial treatment.  Do not overdo it  - wait till the colour is 50% faded to avoid the old-school "block brow" look.
