HEALING PROCESS AND AFTERCARE:

• Your new temporary eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.  Initially, your brows may seem to red and too large. Don’t be alarmed. I have just worked the skin and it is natural for it to be red and swollen. It will calm down in a day or so. 

• The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not settled in yet completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually. The scabbing process will also make the brows appear dark. Stay calm, all of this will lighten with a week or so. The color will be 30%-50% lighter and the brows will be 20%-30% smaller when healed. 

• Once the healing of the skin starts to take place. It will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows. 
  

• Some strokes will disappear and re-appear in 2-3 weeks. Not all strokes will remain. It is perfectly natural to lose between 10%-15% of your strokes, They will be replaced at the top or your second session. 
  

• Apply aftercare cream 3-5 times a day for the first 7 day. After 7 day days use only twice a day. morning and night until it is time for your second session.
  

• You may feel some itching, please try to resist. If you find yourself unable to resist itching, you may apply some aftercare cream to the area for relief. Continute to apply aftercare cream after all the scabbing has naturally fallen off and skin is healed.
