Powder Brow Before + Aftercare
The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here’s how to prepare your skin for the procedure:
Before your treatment
•Avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin/ibuprofen, and any vitamins (fish oil and/or vitamin E) that may thin your blood for at least 24-48 hours (do not discontinue any medications without consulting your physician first)
•Waxing treatments, tweezing, brow tinting, and face scrubs should be done at least one week before
•Discontinue use of Vitamin/Acid/Retinol products at least one month prior
•Avoid tanning at least 2 weeks prior
•No chemical peels, IPL, or Botox at least one month prior to your appointment
•Do not work out the day of your procedure
YOU ARE NOT A CANDIDATE IF YOU...
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Are under 18 years old
Keloid easily
Have had laser resurfacing in the last 6-12 weeks
Have psoriasis, eczema or dermatitis on the on the brows/face
Have uncontrolled high blood pressure
Have had Botox/Filler injections within the last 2-3 weeks
Have been on Accutane in the last year
Are taking blood thinners (including baby Aspirin) or antibiotics within the last two weeks
Have HIV or Hepatitis or any other viral infections
Are at high risk for infection, have immune/auto-immune or blood disorders, taking immunosuppressive medication, steroids, undergoing chemotherapy
Have had micro-needling, peels, or laser treatments in the last month
If you are diabetic, you will need doctor's note
Have a previous brow tattoo/PMU that is too dark or saturated (laser or saline removal may be required first)
An in person consultation is required if you have permanent makeup done by another artist in the past, regardless of how faded it may be.
After your Treatment
Step 1: Gently cleanse your eyebrows each morning & night using only your fingertips, cool water & the provided aftercare cleanser. Rinse & dry the area by lightly patting with a clean towel or air dry.
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of balm after cleansing. Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying. Be sure not to over-apply the product, as this will suffocate your skin & delay your healing process. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin.
Repeat steps 1 & 2 twice a day for 7-10 days
Complete healing time is 4-8 weeks. Light scabbing & itching is normal during the healing process- do not pick or scratch at the scabs. At about the 2 week mark you may notice the color get very light & have a milky looking quality to it. This is known as milk skin & is common in tattooing. Trust the process & the true color will reveal itself in 4-6 weeks.
Important reminders
For 7-10 days
•No scratching/picking at your brows
•Do not get your brows wet besides following instructed aftercare
•Do not apply ointment to wet brows
•Avoid steam from hot showers
•No sweating, including exercise/sports or hot showers
•Do not apply any product that is not your aftercare to the area (makeup, retinol, acids)
•Avoid sun exposure or tanning
*Avoid direct sunlight and/or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks – after that be sure to apply an SPF to prolong the color of your tattoo (tanning will cause it to fade quicker)
*No fillers, facials, Botox, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion treatments until your tattoo is completely healed
The aftercare process is essential in achieving beautiful results that last. Please adhere to all before and aftercare instructions carefully.
