If slight crust appears on pigmented surface, do not force removal by picking or scratching. This will remove pigment along with crusting.
Brows are not considered healed until all crusting has exfoliated (up to 14 days)
Avoid eyebrow makeup (pencils and powder) on the brows until they are fully healed.
Avoid tinting of brows for three weeks following the procedure.
Avoid hot, steamy, long showers. A thin coat of aftercare pigment is a good idea before showering.
The procedure may have some peeling on or around the third day. This is a normal process of healing for some clients. Do Not Pick. Picking can cause scarring and loss of colour.
The application of permanent cosmetics can be a 2 step procedure. Do not judge your procedure while in the healing stage. It may require a touch up.
Don’t be alarmed if colour comes off on to the Q-Tip when applying topical ointment. This is normal.
Avoid the gym or sweating for 3-5 days following the procedure.
Avoid sun for 7-10 days following the procedure.
Avoid chlorine pools, saunas and jacuzzis.
Avoid Retin A, Glycolic Acids, Aloe, and Vitamin E products.
No terry towels on pigmented areas.
If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI, or other medical procedures, inform them that you have had an iron oxide cosmetic tattoo.
You must wait one year after any tattoo to give blood.
Lasers can cause pigment to turn black. Avoid the procedure site.
If any signs of infection occur, abnormal swelling, redness or pain associated with the procedure, call you physician (and please give us a call).
After you have healed, use a good sunscreen daily to help prevent premature fading
