Why Aftercare Matters
Good aftercare helps:
-
Prevent scarring and pigment loss
-
Ensure even healing for a flawless appearance
-
Avoid infection, irritation, and premature fading
Day 1: Immediate Aftercare
-
About 6 hours after your procedure, gently cleanse the treated area with a damp cotton pad—avoid rubbing.

Apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment provided by your artist or as recommended.
Days 2-7: Healing Phase
-
Apply a small amount of aftercare ointment twice daily using a clean cotton swab.
-
Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing your brows to prevent scarring and pigment loss.
-
Keep the treated area dry for the first 6-8 hours; avoid swimming, saunas, and hot tubs for at least two weeks.
-
Steer clear of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Important Precautions
-
Do not apply makeup or skincare products on the treated area for at least one week.
-
Avoid products containing retinal, vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc, or sunblock on the brows during healing.
-
If itching, redness, or swelling occurs, apply a cool compress but do not scratch or pick.
-
Minimise sweat-inducing activities for the first two weeks.
What to Expect

Final results can take several weeks to fully develop; patience is crucial.
