PRE-PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

The Prep

Be sure to advise me of any allergies, medical conditions, and prescriptions you take prior to your appointment (please do this via phone or email)
Botox can alter the position of the brows, so it should be performed no later than at least 30 days prior to your appointment.
Do not pick, tweeze, wax, or perform electrolysis one week before the procedure
Do not wax or tint your eyebrows three days prior to the procedure
Do not work out the day of the procedure
Do not take fish oil or vitamin e one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)
Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
Thoroughly read all the forms given to you at the time of your appointment and ask any question you may have.
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 hours before the procedure.

POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

Please keep in mind proper aftercare is what will give you the best final results!

*It usually takes around 14 days for the skin to heal. While your skin is healing, these instructions are recommended:

Avoid contact with the eyebrows for three hours after the procedure.
Three hours after the procedure, you may gently wash your brows with clean hands, warm water and mild soap. DO NOT RUB HARD. You can let them air dry.
Continually blot any excess fluid that may surface the day of your procedure.
Do not rub or pick at your brow. This can cause scarring, blurring, and/or infection. Should there be any scabbing, let them fall off naturally.
Your brows will start to peel within a few days after your appointment. Expect this process to last up to 14 days or longer
Do not soak your brows in water (ex. Bath tub, sauna, pool, or hot tub). When washing your face, wash around the brow area. Showers are fine.
Avoid facials, chemical treatments, Botox, etc. for 2 weeks.
Do not allow makeup, lotions, or other products come in contact with the treated area for 14 days.
To help maintain color & lessen itching, be sure to continually moisturize eyebrows with aftercare product given the day of your procedure. This will keep the pigmented skin moist and will help control the amount drying.
Aftercare product should be the only thing applied to eyebrows during the healing process (can be used as needed during the first 14 days after the procedure)
Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning booths until your tattoo is healed. You can go outside, but avoid laying out at the pool or beach until your brows have healed. If you are going to the pool or beach, wear a hat that shield your brows from the sun until you’re healed. Also wear SPF 30 or above.
Your skin should be healed by 2 weeks at the latest. Consult a physician if you have ANY sign of infection, which could include redness in the brow area (aside form the first few hours after your procedure), green or yellow discharge, and/or fever.

LONG TERM POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

Long-Term Post Care After Your Skin Has Healed:

Inform your technician of your semi-permanent brows at the time of any laser procedures or MRIs.
Always use a good sunscreen to protect your brows from fading caused by sun exposure. Extreme sun exposure can and will fade your pigment. This can be minimized by applying a good sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
Be aware that the use of chemical peels in the forehead region can expedite the fading of your semi-permanent brows.
