BROW AFTERCARE
Following the procedure, lymph fluids may appear on the brows. Dab the area gently with cotton pads to wipe away the fluids.
On day 2, please use cetaphil gentle foam cleanser twice a day to cleanser twice a day to cleanse the brows. Allow for skin to dry. Do not leave water residue on brows. Apply ointment twice a day (dry skin) and only (once a day if skin is oily).
It will take about 10-14 days for your brows to finish peeling. In this time frame, your brows may appear light (possibly even looks like pigment is missing). Do not worry- the skin takes about 27 days to regenerate itself. The color will resurface. Give it time and trust the process.
Things to avoid during the healing process:
avoid getting brows wet in the shower.
Do not let the scabs get soggy! Dry immediately if the area gets wet.
Do not apply makeup to your brows. Your brows are considered an open wound. Infection can occur from bacteria from your products.
DO NOT PICK, PEEL, or SCRATCH your brows. Doing so may prematurely remove pigment from your brows and/or cause scarring. Let it fall off naturally.
Avoid steamy showers, saunas, hot baths, jacuzzi, and working out.
Avoid sun exposure, sun tanning, laser, or chemical treatments.
Always wash your hand with disinfectant soap before touching the brow area.
