AFTER CARE

• After care is an extremely important part of the tattoo treatment.  After care during the healing process usually lasts up to 2 weeks. After this period, you can stop with after care and allow your eyebrows to continue to heal on their own. 

• It is vital that you follow all the aftercare steps during the healing period. Your role during the healing phase is equally important as my  role during treatment.   During the healing period, scabs will appear. Be patient and do not touch the scabs, regardless of how itchy they may be.

 

EXTRA TIPS AND INFO

• In the days following treatment, be gentle when cleaning your face, especially the brow region. Dry your skin by dabbing a clean cloth and avoid rubbing.

• During the healing period, avoid using skin care products of your own choosing and which you habitually use, even if they are very high-quality products. These may contain ingredients that compromise the protective barrier or have an exfoliating effect, which may affect pigment retention.

• Allow the scabs that have formed during the healing period to peel and fall off on their own. Avoid speeding up this process by rubbing or scratching the skin. This may lead to scarring.

• Avoid sleeping with your face pressed against your pillow. Change your pillow cases regularly. It is ideal if you can use a silk or satin pillow case.

• Avoid applying makeup to the brow region for at least ten days after treatment. If you do apply makeup to other areas of the face, remove the makeup gently and thoroughly. Makeup removal products may contain ingredients such as oils of heavy molecular weight, which can complicate the healing process.

• Avoid situations which may cause excessive perspiration (e.g. saunas, very strenuous exercises, etc.), swimming in saline water (sea, ocean), public swimming pools or taking lengthy showers.Follow these instructions until your eyebrows have completely healed.

• And finally, 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, your tattooed eyebrows may appear slightly uneven, which is why it is mandatory to schedule an appointment for corrective treatment. The first corrective treatment is performed once the colour has fully stabilised, which is after a period of one month post treatment, and most often occurs at 6 to 8 weeks after treatment. The point of the corrective treatment is to fill in any empty space and to fix anything that you may not like about your brows or that you wish to change. The full effect of your treatment will be after a period of approximately 6 weeks.
