How you take care of your newly tattooed eyebrows over the first 7-10 days and your natural skin-type will ultimately determine its healing, colour retention, final appearance, and longevity. It is important to remember that results vary by individual. Dream Brows can give you the perfect eyebrows for your face but ultimately, the healed result is up to your body. We cannot guarantee final results because everyone heals differently.

​

Some guidelines

• Do not touch your eyebrows with anything. This includes dirty fingertips, towels, make-up and make-up tools, etc.

• Gently wash your eyebrows, twice, with the provided cleanser, on the night of the procedure and the following morning.

• After having washed your brows twice, begin avoiding direct water on your eyebrows during the healing period (the next 10 days).

• Gently apply the healing ointment (rice grain's amount) 2-3 times a day with Q-tips only.

• Don't apply make-up on the eyebrows during the healing process. You may resume applying make-up on your eyebrows once you have FULLY healed, after 10 days.

 

Immediately after your procedure

Redness around the eyebrow area is completely normal and tend to show more on lighter and cooler skin tones. Swelling is rare but will diminish within 1-2 hours post-procedure.

 

Do not pick on flaking or scabbing! As the skin starts its natural healing process, you may experience some flaking and/or scabbing. Picking or peeling any flakes or scabs can cause loss of implanted pigment and/or scarring.

 

Please refrain from touching tattooed area except when applying ointment (and only do so gently with a q-tip). Some pigment may rub off, therefore, you should take precautions to protect linens and towels. It's also normal to see pigment on your q-tip after applying the ointment. Apply ointment on the brows every 4-5 hours (or 3 times a day on average) for the full 10 days. Do not allow your brows to become completely dry or feel tight.

 

Avoid certain activities & don't use soaps and creams

Pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, tanning, excessive sweating, facials, hot yoga and other extremely humid situations should be avoided for the following 10 days or until the eyebrows are fully healed. Skin creams and products containing Retin-A, AHA, or any other kind of chemical peel must not be used directly on or near the tattooed area, as this will fade and possibly distort the colour of brows.

 

Sun block should be applied over tattoos on days when you know you will be continuously under the sun for more than 2 hours. (SPF 50 Recommended) When washing your face, refrain from using soaps and creams on the brow area during the healing period. When showering or bathing, avoid putting your face directly under the shower-head stream.

 

Final results after 4-6 weeks

Do not panic! The colour immediately after tattooing will appear very sharp and dark but will soften and fade considerably as the healing process concludes. The final appearance of the tattooed area should not be considered for at least 4-6 weeks after the final visit.

 

Touch ups may be required

You may want to touch-up or augment an area after the pigment has settled, however, this can only take place after the 4-week healing period. A touch-up appointment is crucial with this procedure because Stephanie will try her best to match the desired shape and colour as much as possible, but your body may present the healed results differently. It is also not uncommon for certain individuals with great retention of the pigment to not need a touch-up.

 

Your free touch up appointment will be booked during the initial procedure. In certain cases, more than one touch-up may be required to achieve optimal results. The price includes the first touch up and any additional sessions will be subject to custom pricing, depending on the level of retention of pigment and the timeframe in-between sessions.
