PMU Brows Aftercare

AFTERCARE: How to care for your PMU Brows

Post-care steps are straightforward and simple.We will provide you a complimentary After Care Kit and go over all the details of your after care at your appointment time. It is absolutely crucial that you follow precise Post-Care instructions to achieve the full results of the procedure.

 If directions are not followed there is a risk that your procedure results won't last as intended. You may return to regular maintenance as normal once you have healed (after 2 weeks).

Day 1 - Day of your Procedure

• Be sure to continue to blot the area to keep it dry.
• Wash your brows after 12 hours with the cleanser provided to you in your After-Care Kit. Wash your hands with soap before touching the brow area, apply cleanser on to your brows, rinse with water.
• Either air dry or dab the brow area after washing. Use a clean tissue and pat dry - do not use a towel on the area.
• Apply ointment with a Q-Tip on to your brows in-between the washes (make sure brows are completely dry before applying ointment)
• Apply ointment once more before bedtime

Day 2-10

• Brows heal best when left alone!
• Keep your brows as dry as possible - no more washing!
• Apply ointment with a Q-Tip on to your brows, 3 times daily (make sure brows are completely dry before applying ointment) - every morning, mid-day and night ) for the next 7 days (10 days if your brows feel dry). 
• Try avoiding sleeping on your face/brows for the first 7 days.
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!
• NO makeup or skincare products is to be used on your brow area or forehead for 2 weeks.
• Avoid heavy sweating for 1 week - hot yoga, spinning class, running etc. (pigment can be expelled through your pores when sweating and compromise the healed result)
• No submerging your face for 2 weeks - No Swimming! Plan your vacations accordingly
• No hot showers, pool, sauna, steam rooms and/or hot baths for 3 weeks.
• NO facials, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
• Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 3 weeks after your procedure.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring. After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, use SPF/sunblock when going out in the sun to avoid fading of the pigment.
• Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face for the first 10 days.
• Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels and Microderms around the brow area once healed.

During healing (first 2 weeks) your eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural scabbing and healing. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures.
