After your treatment

 

The area treated may show redness and swelling and that the color looks dark and intense—this is quite normal.

 

Additional treatments cannot be undertaken until the area has completely healed.  A 4/6 weeks healing time is required before any more work can be undertaken.

 

In order to let your brows, heal well, avoid water on the brow area; make up to the brow area, the gym, sauna or pool for 10 days.

 

Strong chemicals or glycolic acid/peels of any kind may cause the pigment to lighten.  Always telephone and check with your consultant if in any doubt.

 

 

• MRI Scans- This procedure shows up as an artifact on the scan.  Some clients may experience a tingling sensation.  Please notify your radiologist.

• Injectable- Dermal fillers and Botox can alter the shape of the eyebrows.  The client should be advised that injectable should be carried out after Permanent cosmetics procedure and not prior.

• Laser/Pulsed Light- Laser or pulsed light hair removal or skin rejuvenation treatments can cause color change.  It is important to advise the therapist that you have had Permanent cosmetics procedure, as this cannot be rectified with another Permanent cosmetics procedure.

• Color Refreshing- To keep your new brows looking at their best, it is recommended that you have a color refresh procedure every 12-18 months.

 

 

AFTERCARE

 

After care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.

• No water, cleansers, creams, makeup or any other products on treated area for 10 days

 

• Keep the area clean by washing with freshly washed hands and a mild soap.  Do not use a washcloth or sponge to remove soap.  Simply splash with water.  Do not use cleansing creams, acne cleansers or astringents.  Use a mild, natural soap.

 

• Apply the aftercare balm with freshly washed hands or a Q-tip.  If the balm is too stiff to use simply warm it up in a glass of warm water or on your finger.  Use the balm very sparingly.  Too little is better than too much.  Blot off excess with a clean tissue.  Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before.

 

• Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms.  Allow it to flake off by itself.  If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.

 

• Do not use any makeup near the procedure area including mascara for eyeliner procedures for at least 3 days.  Purchase new mascara and makeup if possible, to avoid contamination or bacterial infection.

• Always use a sun block after the procedure area is healed to protect from sun fading.

 

• NO facials, Botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  EYEBROWS WILL APPEAR DARKER AND BOLDER DUE TO NATURAL SCABBING AND HEALING FOR THE FIRST 10 DAYS.  THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR ALL PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURES.
