EYEBROWS:
-
It is important to know that the color you see on the first days is not the final color. In fact, you will need to wait around 4 weeks after each session to see the final results. The key thing here is to be patient and trust the healing process.
Summary:
-During the first 2-3 days your brows color will look the darkest and thickest.
-Around days 3-5 your brows will begin to flake/scab, and this is normal. Please do not try to pick any of these, as it could leave you with gaps in your brows. Instead, just let the flakes/scabs fall on their own.
-As part of this process, the color of your brows will go down significantly during the flaking/scabbing period.
-As you as you enter the 2nd and 3rd week the color will start to come back.
-It is normal to see some spots where the color looks uneven, or even some spots where the color did not stick. Don’t worry, that is why a touch-up is required.
-The touch-up will help detail your brows, and give your brows a booster to last longer, so make sure you don’t skip it!

DAY 1:
•Please DO NOT touch you eyebrows with your fingers. Your fingers could have bacteria and cause an INFECTION. You may only touch your brows when you are washing your face or cleaning your eyebrows, but make sure you wash your hands first.
•If you have pets, do not let them near your face, specially if you sleep with them as they might accidentally lick your eyebrows.
•If you have oily skin and you see excess of lymph fluid on your brows after the procedure you will need to gently clean it. We recommend gently tapping your brows with a clean tissue to absorb all of this liquid. Repeat every 15 minutes or as needed for the first hours.
•Every 1-2 hours gently wipe your eyebrows with a wet cotton and wipe again with a dry q-tip. Then apply a little bit (about the size of 1 rice grain) ointment using a q-tip. Only do this for the first 24 hours.
•We do recommend you save a little bit ointment for days 4-6 in case you start to feel really itchy. If that is the case continue to use the ointment as instructed above, but only 2-3 times per day.
DAYS 2-3:
•Your eyebrows will look the darkest during this time. Don’t worry, they will light down.
•You will rinse your eyebrows [with water only, so no soap or anything else] and pat dry with a paper towel. Do this at mornings, evenings and nights, and remember to wash your hands before your eyebrows.
•If you have dry skin, you ,may continue to apply little bit (about the size of 1 rice grain) ointment using a q-tip 3 times a day. Just make sure not to over apply as it may suffocate your skin which will delay your healing process.
DAYS 3-10:
•Continue to rinse your eyebrows [water only, no soap or anything else] and dry with a paper towel at mornings, evenings and nights, and remember to wash your hands before your eyebrows.
•In case you start to feel really itchy please DO NOT pick, rub or try to peel your eyebrows.
DAYS 10-14 & AFTER:
•You can expect to have healed eyebrows. Keep in mind this might be a little different for everyone.

LIPS:
-
For the next 10 days, after waking up, eating or drinking, clean your mouth and wash your lips with water only. Then apply the ointment as it was applied to you at the end of your procedure. Everyday you should be applying ointment at least 4 times.
General rules for the first 7-10 days:
•Don’t touch your lips or pick at the scabs or skin that starts peeling off.
•Don’t drink/eat anything for at least the first 3 hours after the procedure.
•Don’t get the lips soaking wet – no long hot showers, no swimming, no excessive sweating (this includes saunas and steam baths). Try to avoid working out if you can.
•Don’t get toothpaste on your lips.
•Don’t put any makeup or care products on the area besides the prescribed aftercare ointment.
•Don’t eat spicy or very salty foods – they’ll sting.
•Don’t drink anything too hot – it’ll trigger swelling.
•Don’t drink alcohol – it will burn and dry out your lips further.
•Don’t expose your lips to the sunlight. No tanning in the sun or in tanning beds for 3-4 weeks.
•Don’t sleep on your face.
•Don’t get teeth whitening
•Pro Tip: Use a straw to drink for the first 2 days.
