POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Gently wash your eyebrows, twice, with the provided cleanser, on the night of the procedure and the following morning.
· After having washed your eyebrows twice, begin avoiding direct water on your brows during the healing period (the next 7 – 10 days).
Gently apply the healing ointment 2-3 times a day Q-tips only and only with a rice grain’s amount.
Do not, by any means, touch your eyebrows with anything. This includes dirty fingertips, towels, make-up and make-up tools, etc
Don’t apply make-up on the eyebrows during the healing process. You won’t even need it! However, you may resume applying make-up on your brows once you have FULLY healed.
For the first few nights, try to sleep on your back. It can be tricky to control yourself in your sleep, but it is beneficial. This aspect is not required but encouraged. Sleeping on your back avoids rubbing of eyebrows against pillows, which can lead to irritation and faster shedding of skin.
It’s COMPLETELY normal for your eyebrows to look slightly darker during the first few days post-procedure. DO NOT WORRY, they will slowly lighten and shrink in size. This is the natural process. It’s also expected to scab/flake, so don’t sweat that either. It is all temporary and will be gone within a few days.
DISCLAIMER
How you take care of your newly tattooed eyebrows over the first 7 – 10 days and your natural skin- type will help in its healing, colour retention, final appearance, and longevity. It is important to remember that the results vary by individual. Alternative Beauty Artistry can give you the perfect eyebrows for your face but ultimately, the healed result is up to your body. Alternative Beauty Artistry can not guarantee any results because every body heals differently and you must understand that this is a risk you are taking.
