Day 1 to 7
- For the first 24 hours, continue to wipe the eybrows with a damp cotton tip or cotton pad. They may weep a clear fluid (this is lymph and normal). Wipe them firmly to remove the fluid otherwise a crusting or scab may build up which is not ideal.
- Use your provided after care cream sparingly 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and bedtime)
- There is usually a slight tenderness around the eyebrow tattoo, this is to be expected.
- Although unusual, if there is any excess swelling use a cold compress over the area.
- Do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area other than your aftercare routine.
- Cover the brow with Vaseline when showering or washing hair, but keep your face away from the showerhead or take a bath.
When washing your face, please do so carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the treated area.
