Preparation and aftercare are just as important as the procedure itself. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best retention and a beautiful, healed result.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your procedure to reduce sensitivity and bleeding.
Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed by your doctor).
Avoid skincare acids such as retinol, AHA/BHA, and Vitamin C serums for 5–7 days prior.
Do not wax, thread, or tweeze your brows for at least 3–5 days before your appointment.
Avoid tanning, sunburn, or direct sun exposure for one week prior.
Refrain from intense workouts 24 hours before your session.
Come with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or oils around the treatment area.
Get a good night’s sleep and eat a light meal before your appointment to stay comfortable.
Every skin type heals differently, but most clients will experience the following stages:
The color appears 20–40% darker than the final result. You may experience mild redness, slight swelling, and the treated area may feel tight.
DO NOT pick or peel. The skin starts to dry and flake off naturally. Allow the skin to shed on its own to avoid pigment loss.
The color may look lighter or faded. This is completely normal as the pigment settles underneath the skin before resurfacing.
The color slowly returns and becomes more visible. By Day 30-45, you can see 70–90% of the true result.
A touch-up is recommended to perfect color, adjust intensity, and fill areas that didn't retain pigment well.
The skin needs time to fully regenerate. Touching up too early can damage the skin or lead to poor pigment retention.
