To achieve the best results for your brow enhancement, please follow these guidelines before your appointment:

☕ Avoid alcohol & caffeine 48 hours prior to your session.

💉 No Botox or injectables in the brow area 4 weeks before your treatment.

Additional Brow Care Notes

✔ Skincare & Treatments: Avoid strong skincare treatments such as chemical peels, acids, and retinol at least 4 weeks before your session to prevent excessive dryness.

✔ Skin Conditions: If you have eczema, psoriasis, or sensitivity in the brow area, treatment may not be suitable. Your skin needs to be a healthy canvas for pigment implantation.

✔ Moles or Scars: If you have moles or raised scars in the brow area, inform us before your session, as these areas may need to be avoided.

✔ Makeup-Free Brows: Do not arrive with heavy brow makeup, as removing it can cause unnecessary irritation before treatment.

✔ Sun Exposure: Avoid sunbeds & tanning for 2 weeks before & after your treatment.

✔ Hydration & Moisturizing: Keep your skin moisturized before treatment.

Recommended Brow Moisturiser:

🌿 Weleda Skin Food – for dry/normal skin.

🌱 Weleda Skin Food Light – for normal/oily skin.

💊 Cold Sore Prevention: If you are prone to cold sores, take anti-viral medication 4 days before treatment.

⸻

Additional Lip Care Notes

✔ Cold Sore Prevention: Even if you haven’t had a cold sore outbreak in years, taking preventative medication is highly recommended to avoid triggering a flare-up.

Recommended Medications:

💊 Topical Cream: Zovirax – apply 5 times a day for 1 week before & after treatment.

💊 Oral Tablets: Acyclovir – available via online prescription.

✔ Exfoliate Your Lips: Lightly exfoliate before treatment to remove dry skin, improving pigment retention.

Post-Treatment Care & Healing Process

💡 What to Expect in the First 4 Days:

• Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness.

• Dry, flaking skin as the area heals.

• Itching is common and part of the healing process.

⸻

Aftercare Instructions

✅ Do’s:

✔ Clean the area once daily using the provided aftercare solution or damp cotton pads/water wipes.

✔ Apply a thin layer of healing balm from your kit using a clean cotton bud each time (for brows & lips).

✔ For eyes, rinse with the provided saline solution – no balm is needed.

✔ Use healing cream sparingly for one week – less is more!

❌ Don’ts:

🚫 No picking, peeling, or touching the treated area, as this can lead to infection and uneven healing.

🚫 Avoid makeup on the treated area for one week.

🚫 Do not overapply balm – excess product can suffocate the skin.

🚫 Keep the area dry – no swimming, soaking, or submerging in water for one week.

🚫 No beauty treatments (facials, peels, microdermabrasion) for 5 days.

🚫 Avoid hair removal treatments (waxing, electrolysis, laser) near the area for 2 weeks.

🚫 No sun exposure or tanning (including Jacuzzis, saunas, saltwater, chlorinated pools) for 2 weeks.

🚫 Avoid strong skincare products directly on or near the area.

🚫 For eye treatments, no lash extensions or lash lifts for 2 weeks post-procedure.

Healing Timeline

📅 Days 1-3: Color will appear darker and more defined than the final result.

📅 Days 3-7: The area may become itchy, and pigment flakes will shed in patches – this is normal.

📅 After Flaking Stops: Pigment may appear lighter, but it will gradually develop over the next six weeks.

📅 Touch-Up Session: Some unevenness in color is expected – this is why a second session is necessary to perfect the results.

⸻

Long-Term Care & Maintenance

☀️ SPF Protection: Apply SPF 30 or 50 to protect the area, as sun exposure will fade the pigment.

⚠️ Medical Procedures: If you plan to undergo a chemical peel, laser treatment, or MRI scan, inform your provider. The pigments contain Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, and Carbon.

🩸 Blood Donation: If you donate blood, you may not be eligible for four months after treatment.
