Brows
AFTERCARE
Keep this guide handy while your brows heal.
Expected Healing
- Your color will look bold and sharp at first, then soften as you heal — how much varies from person to person.
- Mild redness, minimal swelling, tenderness, flaking, dryness, or itching can occur during the first days of healing (1–10 days), and should gradually ease as you heal.
- Full healing takes 6–8 weeks for the true color to emerge.
Day 1
- Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to remove excess lymph fluid, repeating until the oozing stops.
Days 1–5 · Wash
- Wash twice daily, morning and evening, with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap, using patting motions.
- Avoid acid-based or exfoliating cleansers.
- Stop washing once scabbing or flaking begins.
Days 1–5 · Moisturize
- Apply a rice-sized amount of the PMU ointment I provide, 2–3 times daily, with clean fingertips or a Q-tip, and blot any excess.
- Let flakes fall off naturally — picking can cause scarring or pigment loss.
What to Avoid
- Direct sun or tanning beds — wear a hat.
- Heavy sweating, exercise, swimming, saunas, and hot showers (2 weeks).
- Makeup or skincare products on the treated area (30 days). The only exception is the aftercare ointment I provide, used as directed above.
- Exfoliating products or acids on the treated area (30 days).
- Facials, microdermabrasion, microneedling, peels, or laser (4 weeks).
- Tweezing or tinting brows (2 weeks).
- Do not sleep on your face (10 days).
- Use a clean pillowcase during the first 10 days.
- Heavy household cleaning with airborne debris.
Touch-Up & Good to Know
- A touch-up session 6–12 weeks after your initial procedure is recommended to perfect color and symmetry — your first touch-up is included in your service.
- Results may appear lighter or uneven as your skin renews — this is normal.
