Healing & aftercare.
Ombre Powder Brows | Healing & Aftercare
Week 1:
- Day 1-2: The color is 40% darker than what it will look like healed. Mild swelling, light bruising, redness, and discomfort will subside. Apply balm, but don’t touch otherwise.
- Day 3-7: Scabbing & outer skin healing begins. Excess pigment begins to flake away. Do not pick at the scabs, as this will affect your color retention. Skin will start to itch. Do not scratch, but instead tap lightly around the area. Continue to apply balm.
Week 2:
- Day 8-10: Flaking is in final stages. Inner skin begins to look gray, light, or spotty. Natural skin color will appear later. Continue to apply balm.
- Day 11-14: Skin begins to take on normal characteristics again.
Week 3:
- Color starts to come back after disappearing or looking gray, light, and patchy.
Week 4-8:
- Inner skin healing reaches its final stages.
For 2 days following the application of permanent cosmetics:
- Cleanse brows with provided aftercare foam every 4 hours.
For 7 days following the application of permanent cosmetics:
- Apply balm every 4 hours.
- Avoid water contact.
- Avoid sweating.
- No acne/treatments/washes.
- No anti-aging creams or serums.
- No makeup on your brows or around the procedure area.
- Do not touch the procedure area with your fingers. They may have bacteria on them and cause an infection.
- Use a clean cotton swab to apply the given ointment. If you lose your balm, you may use Aquaphor or vitamin A&D, as it is non-reactive for most individuals. If you are allergic to them, please contact your doctor for an alternative.
- Do not use products that contain AHAs within the procedure area. For example, Glycolic & Lactic acids. Please check your product labels before use. Failure to do so will cause the pigment color to fade.
For 2 weeks following the application of permanent cosmetics:
- Avoid chlorine pools, tanning, steam rooms, hot showers, jacuzzis, and direct sun exposure.
*Ombre Powder Brows require two sessions. Because this is not a permanent tattoo, color is expected to fade 40-60% after the first session. Additional sessions may be needed depending on each individual’s desired results. A Touch-Up should be scheduled 4-8 weeks after the initial session. Touch-Up price is not included in the initial service cost. Touch-Ups booked within 4-8 weeks are $100, any Touch-Up scheduled after that time frame will be $200.
Lip Blush | Healing & Aftercare
Day 1:
- After the procedure, the color will appear darker.
- It is very important to remove the lymph from the surface of the skin to avoid heavy scabbing. Blot lips every 15 minutes for 1 hour right after the procedure to help reduce scabbing.
- Blot lips as needed.
- Keep your lips moist with ointment. Do not let your lips dry.
- Tenderness, dryness, itching, and swelling are all normal bodily reactions after the procedure.
- You can try sleeping while elevating your body to help reduce swelling.
Day 2-7:
- Color will continue to darken on the second day.
- A scab will begin to form. Continue to apply ointment. Avoid picking at the scabs as this may cause scarring.
- The pigment will fade as much as 40-60%.
- The true color will come to the surface by week 4.
Avoid ( 3 days following the procedure):
- Hot, citrus, spicy, and salty foods as they may cause added irritation.
- Direct sun exposure, rubbing, and smoking.
- Do drink through a straw.
- If you suffer from cold sores and are not using ZOVIRAX or any other anti-viral medication, I will not be responsible for excessive color loss.
- Only apply ointment on lips, no makeup or exfoliators until lips are completely healed.
*Lip Blush is a process. Color is expected to fade 40-60% after the initial session which is why multiple sessions may be needed to build the desired color intensity based on each individual’s starting point. The number of sessions needed is based on several factors such as your lips’ undertones, the color you want to obtain, how well your skin retains pigment, and if aftercare instructions are followed. Dark lips may need more than 4 sessions to obtain the desired results.
Touch-Up prices are not included in your initial service cost. Touch-Ups booked within 4-8 weeks are $100, any Touch-Up scheduled after that time frame will be $200.
