Post Treatment Aftercare
Day of Treatment – Following your procedure, you may notice excess fluid around your brows, this is a totally normal fluid called lymph, gently blot the area with a clean tissue for the remainder of the day.
You will notice a bold colour straight after your treatment, do not panic or worry, there is a lot of pigment within the epidermis which contributes to the intense end result you will see straight away, your brows will heal a lot calmer and anywhere between 20% and 70% lighter. Read the below for step-by-step on what your thoughts may likely be after your treatment.
Day 1 to 7 – Gently wash the area 3 times a day (morning, noon and evening) with boiled cool water on clean cotton pads. Dry with clean tissue. Apply your aftercare balm after each clean using a clean cotton bud, make sure this is a light, thin layer which is barely noticeable on the skin. Applying too much balm can alter your healing process as the skin can become suffocated. If scabbing appears within the first week, STOP all cleaning and application of aftercare balm and allow the skin to dry heal, DO NOT use anything else on them until all the scabbing has come away. DO NOT pick at any scabbing as this can causes infection, colour loss and scarring. If you are lucky enough to experience any scabbing, after 7 days, you can return to your normal routine on your face.
Day 1 – WOW! Look at my amazing brows! However, they look very dark!
Day 2 to 3 – Are my brows supposed to be this dark and thick?
Day 5 to 10 – A few scabs have started to appear.
Day 10 to 21 – Where have my brows gone? They are much lighter than before! (This is called the ghost phase and is completely normal).
Day 21+ – My brows are back and look so natural!
After touch-up – My brows are perfect!
