AFTER CARE

PLEASE READ THE AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SPECIFIC PROCEDURE, ITS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT!

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO KEEP YOUR TATTOO FRESH FOR LONGER:

EXPOSURE TO THE SUN OVER TIME CAN CAUSE FADING AND DISCOLOURATION OF THE PIGMENT. ONCE COMPLETELY HEALED, WE RECOMMEND APPLYING SUNSCREEN DAILY ON THE TREATED AREA.

GLYCOLIC ACID, MICRODERMABRASION, CHEMICAL FACE PEEL PRODUCTS AND LASER TREATMENTS MUST BE KEPT AWAY FROM THE TATTOOED AREA AS CONTINUED USE COULD LIGHTEN OR DISCOLOR THE PIGMENT.

IF YOU ARE HAVING LASER RESURFACING OR LASER HAIR REMOVAL AFTER YOUR TATTOO HAS HEALED, PLEASE INFORM THE LASER TECHNICIAN. CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. LASER PROCEDURES MAY DARKEN, LIGHTEN, OR DISCOLOR THE TATTOOED AREA.

ONCE THE TREATED AREA IS COMPLETELY HEALED, ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE CAN BE DONE AT YOUR FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT NO SOONER THAN 4-8 WEEKS LATER. IT TAKES ABOUT 4 WEEKS FOR THE BROW AREA’S SKIN CELLS TO COMPLETELY REGENERATE AND SETTLE IN.

THERE ARE NO IMPLIED OR WRITTEN GUARANTEES IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CARE OF YOUR TATTOO, AND EVERYONE WILL HEAL A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

 AFTER CARE

  • Please take a break from any exfoliating anti aging/ anti acne products (retinoids, glycolics, vitamin c, AHA/ BHA, enzyme washes, serums, etc) near and around your brows area at least 2 weeks prior to your session and 2 weeks after for best healed results.

    2. Wash brows every half hour today with the wipes included in kit until you run out.

    3. Blot brows with paper before you go to bed, and apply a small amount of tattoo balm. You will wake up with bold brows - it’s temporary!

    Sometimes, the tattoo will appear lighter after the dead skin comes off, and the color will bloom back to the surface later on.

    Final results from each session will appear clearly after about 4 weeks, then it will be time for your follow-up!

    WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR SECOND APPOINTMENT

    We will assess your results and your skin’s reaction to the process, tweak and adjust anything that’s needed (like-lighter spots) and make sure the color, texture and shape look amazing overall!
