Permanent Brows

PRE-CARE


Proper preparation helps improve pigment retention, reduce sensitivity, and support smooth, even healing.



2 WEEKS BEFORE

  • Avoid Botox or fillers near the brow area

  • Avoid chemical peels, lasers, or strong exfoliation

  • Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning



1 WEEK BEFORE

  • Avoid retinols, acids, or active skincare on the forehead/brow area

  • Do not wax, tint, or laminate brows

  • Keep skin well hydrated



48 HOURS BEFORE

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine (if sensitive)

  • Avoid blood thinners (Advil, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E)



DAY OF APPOINTMENT

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

  • Do not apply brow makeup, lotions, or oils

  • Eat beforehand for comfort



ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Do not pick or irritate the skin beforehand

  • If you are feeling sick, please reschedule

  • If you have previous PMU, results may vary and may require correction work



AFTERCARE


(Microblading • Machine Hair Strokes • Powder/Combo Brows)


Proper aftercare is essential for soft, natural healing and long-lasting results.




FIRST 24 HOURS

  • Gently blot brows with a clean tissue/gauze to remove lymph fluid as needed

  • This helps prevent heavy scabbing and pigment loss



DAYS 1–7 (HEALING PHASE)


Cleaning

  • Clean brows 1–2x daily with water or a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser

  • Use gauze or tissue soaked in water and gentle soap to clean the brows

  • Pat dry - do not rub

Care

  • Apply a very thin layer of aftercare ointment as directed

  • Avoid over-moisturizing

  • Use the brow shields in the shower to help prevent shampoos/conditioners hitting the brows

  • Always wear a hat or visor in the sun during healing phase



WHAT TO AVOID (FIRST 7–10 DAYS)

  • Avoid excessive water, steam, or long showers

  • Avoid sweating (workouts, saunas, hot yoga)

  • Avoid makeup on or around the brows

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning (wear a hat in the sun)

  • Do not pick, scratch, or peel



DAYS 7–14 (FLAKING PHASE)

  • Brows may appear dry, flaky, or patchy

  • Color may look lighter or uneven temporarily

  • Do not pick or peel



WEEKS 2–4 (SETTLING PHASE)

  • Color will soften and gradually return as the skin heals

  • Final healed results take about 4–6 weeks



TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Keep the area clean and lightly hydrated

  • Use SPF once healed to prevent fading

  • Avoid active skincare (retinols, acids) directly on brows



WHEN TO REACH OUT

  • Excessive redness, swelling, or pain

  • Signs of infection (pus, heat, spreading redness)

  • Unusual healing or pigment concerns



PRO TIP
Permanent brows heal softer and more natural than they appear initially. Trust the process. Intentional technique and proper aftercare create the most natural, long-lasting results.
