     4)  Many brows will need up to 1 month to fully heal. Touch-ups will be scheduled 5/6 weeks out to retouch any bald spots and to ensure brows are perfectly even.

 

     5)  Brows will go through many stages: appearing very dark at first, very dull after dryness/flaking has subsided and new skin has formed, in the days following this dullness, pigment will reemerge and new skin settles in and you will be left with your completely healed brows.

  • Swimming, Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi ; Sun tanning or salon tanning 

  • Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment

  • Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris 

  • Smoking, Drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wounds 

  • Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles

  • Touching or using anything other than mild soap and water on the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post care cream with a clean cotton swab after day 10.
