Gently blot treated area with a clean and dry cotton round for the first 24 hours.
For the first 5 days following your appointment wipe the treated area with a damp cotton round. Discontinue this process after the fifth day or you will risk removing scabs prematurely which may affect color retention.
You may be given an ointment to apply to your brows. If you are very dry and/or scabbing you can gently apply the ointment using a clean Q-tip morning and night.
Do not pick scabs; the scabbing process is to be expected and is a common part of the healing process.
Avoid excessive sweating, long hot showers, swimming, or anything that may add moisture to the area for the first 14 days.
Do not apply makeup or additional products in the treated area until the scabs have healed.

Retention is everything. After every appointment your fresh brows will fade at least 30%.
Think of it like adding only one coat of nail polish and expecting it to last a year. You will require at least 1 Touch-Up appointment spaced 4 weeks after your initial appointment.
Everyone heals uniquely and therefore retention varies. Hormones, skin type, immunity, medications etc. all come together to create your very unique healing process and with that, the retention you have of your new brows.
