Cosmetic Tattoo
Aftercare & Healing Guidelines
Let’s chat AFTERCARE
Firstly, THANK YOU for trusting me to tattoo your brows.
Please, trust the healing process. It’s an emotional rollercoaster; so, let's ride the wave together.
You will be provided with a goodies bag with all the essentials required to take care of your new PMU brows.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE: Every HOUR on the hour; gently blot your brows with the sterile water wipes provided. Gentle blotting will soak any excess lymph and will minimise scabbing. 1 wipe per hour . DO NOT RUB OR WIPE.
UNTIL THE SCABBING CYCLE IS COMPLETED (10-14 days):
Wash your brows morning & night with the foaming cleanser provided. Make sure you blot your brows dry with a clean cotton pad before you apply the provided aftercare cream. Moisture trapped under the aftercare cream could cause infection. Less product is more when it comes to the aftercare cream, don’t let the product build up on the brow. I have also provided you with face shields so you can wash your hair!
REMEMBER THESE STEPS - WASH, PAT DRY WITH COTTON PAD, APPLY AFTERCARE WITH A COTTON TIP.
DURING THE SCABBING CYCLE (10-14 days) Absolutely NO:
- Heavy sweating or exercise. You can prematurely metabolise the ink during this stage & put yourself at risk of infection.
- No products, no makeup, and no AHA's or retinol
- No sun exposure or swimming for 4 weeks. (the sun will fade your brows faster). Chlorine can change the colour of the ink and seawater is full of nasty bacteria.
- Absolutely no picking or touching the area during the healing process. When you are required to wash your brows morning and night, please wash your hands with warm water and soap prior to prevent the chance of infection.
THIS PROTOCOL IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BROW AND LIP COSMETIC TATTOOING REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME OR YOUR YEARLY REFRESH APPOINTMENT. HEALING STAGES/RETENTION CAN VARY FROM CLIENT TO CLIENT.
