Before your appointment:
Do not tweeze, thread, or wax for at least 3 days before your procedure.
No tanning, botox, or chemical peels 2 weeks prior to your appointment,
No coffee or ibuprofen the day of your appointment.
It is best to not have the procedure done while on your period, as you might be more sensitive
If you are pregnant or nursing, we will have to wait to do your brows, and will need to reschedule your appointment.
During the healing process after your appointment:
Aftercare is super important to ensure proper healing, and to prevent loss of pigment on your new brows.
COMBINATION/OILY SKIN: Dry Healing is best. Apply ointment if needed, but wait until after the 5th day. Usually with oily skin, the natural oils will help keep the brows moist. Thus, applying too much ointment can clog the pores and result in infections, oozing, or pigment lifting. If needed, apply thin layers of ointment before bed. Prior to applying, clean the brow area with a cotton pad and water, gentle dabbing the brows. Continue this process until brows are completely peeled.
DRY SKIN: After the 5th day, apply thin layers of the ointment only before bed. Prior to applying, clean the brow area with a cotton pad and water, gently dabbing the brows. In this case, less is more. Continue this process until brows are completely peeled.
IMPORTANT: No contact with water directly on the brows for the first 1-4 days (use shield in the shower)
Avoid having the shower head directly onto the face. If the brows get wet, let them air dry-do not dry with a towel.
Limit the time if you take hot showers-you do not want the steam to push out the pigment.
Absolutely no products on the brow area until they are completely healed. This includes face wash, face products, exfoliating, or makeup.
No workouts for the first 7 days. This includes steam rooms, saunas, beach salt water, and swimming pools. Avoid direct sunlight when brows are peeling. Wear a hat if you are going outdoors.
Avoid facials for 6 weeks after your procedure.
The most important rule is to LEAVE YOUR BROWS ALONE! You will be tempted to pick at your brows, but if you pick you will pull off the color before it sets in and can heal with discoloration and with higher chances of the brows becoming infected by picking with dirty fingers.
Touch ups are done 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure.
Taking care of your Ombre Powder Brows:
Do not use a washcloth or anything abrassive on your new brows, including face scrubs, or any type of masks or chemical peels.
Once healed, apply sunscreen to your eyebrows daily, as you would the rest of your face.
