BROWS AND BEAUTY A GO-GO AFTERCARE
- 01
Day of Procedure
Blot eyebrows 2-3 times throughout the day. Reapply a rice grain size of provided ointment to the brows before bed. Do not get wet or wash but blot off any remaining ointment before reapplying.
Care
Starting on morning of day 2, wash brows with warm water and gentle soap provided in your kit *Clear Water Cleanser*, move fingers in circular motion for 10 seconds (dr. bronners, dove, Neutrogena, cetaphil, baby shampoo/soap are good alternatives) twice a day during the remaining healing period. Use about a rice grain size amount of ointment provided for each brow 5-10 mins after washing and pat into skin on and around the brows with clean finger. Treated area should appear dewy but not shiny. Repeat this process 1-2 times per day as needed for dryness and itchiness until healed. If you feel the skin is dry and tight, you can apply mid day as needed but less is more. The goal is moisturized, not goopy and excessive. You can switch to Clear Water Cream or a very light moisturizer after all of your peeling is gone. Also use this as needed for dryness/itchiness. When washing and applying ointments, always use CLEAN hands. Keep out of the sun for 7-10 days. When healed, wear sunscreen to aid in the longevity of your tattoo.
As instructed apply the ointments with freshly washed hands or a Q-tip. Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before.
Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
Do not use any makeup on the brows for at least 5-10 days or until every flake is gone.
Do not swim in the ocean or a pool for 14 days. Brow MUST BE COMPLETELY HEALED or you run the risk of infection or poor color retention.
DO NOT SWEAT WHILE HEALING- Sweat has salt in it which can break down the pigment causing poor color retention. When exercising, take a towel or wear a sweat band to catch any drips before they touch the brows.
After the procedure is completely healed, you may go back to your regular makeup routine. Avoid scrubbing the area. You can use sun block after 14 days post procedure to protect from sun fading and aid in longevity.
Limit your showers and the amount of time in them so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INFECTIONS, PIGMENT LOSS OR DISCOLORATION. ONE TOUCH UP ONLY IS INLCUDED IN NEW SERVICE BOOKINGS. ANNUAL RETOUCHES SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL TOUCH UP.
Cautions: If the skin around the eyebrows breaks out in a heat rash, small pimples, this is usually a reaction to the numbing solution and should go away by itself in a couple weeks, don’t pick. Please call immediately if this occurs so the technician can make note of the reaction and follow up to ensure this is not a more serious situation.
Warnings
Do Not use any Retin-A or Glycolic Acids, Salicylic Acids, HA’s or any other anti aging ingredient in the brow area during or after healing!
Do Not scrub or pick treated areas!
Do Not expose area to the sun or tanning beds!
Avoid swimming pool/ocean for 14 days!
Do Not dye for one month after the procedure!
Do Not tweeze until all flakes are gone
Do Not sweat while healing
Failure to follow post procedure instructions may result in infection or loss/discoloration of pigment and the potential for more than one touch up. One touch up is included in the initial cost for New Services (2 appointments, 4-8 weeks apart), all others will require additional payment. Annual Retouches typically only need one appointment per year but again, failure to follow aftercare could result in additional appointments needed at the cost of the client. We do not do free Touch Ups unless otherwise specified. It is imperative that you plan accordingly when having this type of procedure done. Following Aftercare Instructions is equally as important to the service being provided in the studio.
What is normal?
Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness. Ice packs are nice relief for swelling and bruising. Aftercare ointments work well for scabbing and tightness.
Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 2-7 days the darkness will fade, and once any swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. If it is too dark, light, or still a bit uneven after 4 weeks then we will make adjustments during the touch up appointment.
Color change or color loss. As the procedure area heals, the color will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear in places. This usually takes place around week 2 of the treatment and will most likely reappear. If an area does not come back to life, this can all be addressed during the touch up appointment which is why a touch up is MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW SERVICES. The procedure area has to heal completely (4-8 weeks) before we can address any concerns. Healing takes time.
30-60 days touch up to finish new brows should be scheduled at your first treatment appointment. If for any reason you need to move this complimentary touch up appointment, 48 hours notice is required. Please text or call 407-929-4414 for scheduling changes. DM’s, replying to Vagaro reminders via text, and Facebook messages are not appropriate avenues to use when scheduling. You must contact us and communicate directly with Autumn just as you did to book your first appointment. Vagaro will send 72 hour and 24 hour reminders from a generic 3-6 digit number. Please click the link it sends to confirm that you will be at your touch up appointment, or CALL/TEXT THE SCHEDULING NUMBER DIRECTLY 407-929-4414 to change/cancel/reschedule. Failure to do so will result in a $75 fee to reschedule. Space is limited, so it is important to plan ahead.
Needing an additional Touch Up . It is very uncommon to need any adjustments within less than a years time, however this can happen and is dependent on your skin, body chemistry, medications, sun exposure and lifestyle. These services are typically less than annual maintenance and are determined based on the time between your last scheduled service appointment.
Retouch Appointments are to be scheduled every 12-18 months post the initial procedure for Brows. A Retouch is needed every 1 to 2 years after the first brow procedure depending on your skin, body chemistry, medications, sun exposure and lifestyle. 1 RETOUCH APPOINTMENT is required every year to keep eyebrows looking fresh and beautiful. Future Retouch sessions will cost the current rate at the time you have it done. If the pigment has faded more than 50%, or if it has been MORE THAN 2 YEARS since your last BROW appointment, the entire procedure will need to be repeated. Maintenance is important to keeping semi permanent pigments stable in the skin. An email or text photo consultation may be necessary to determine if you need a Touch Up/Retouch or a repeat of the entire procedure.

Care
Blot the eyelids 2-4 times after your procedure with a damp paper towel or tissue. Reapply a very thin layer of ointment to lid area before bed on night one. Starting morning of day 2, wash with gentle soap twice per day and use provided healing ointment as needed for dryness and itchiness- always use ointment morning and night and may use mid day if eyeliner feels tight.
Must keep the eyes free of makeup during the healing process, about 5-7 days.
Use a new tube of mascara after day 5.
No picking flakes
No scrubbing eyes for 7 days
No makeup remover for 7 days
As instructed apply the ointments with freshly washed hands or a Q-tip. Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before.
Liner will appear to look like liquid eyeliner at first and for about 3 days. Apply ice packs for swelling (swelling and slight redness/bruising is normal). Once flaking begins, color will lighten and look slightly uneven and “faded”. The color will even out and emerge as the target color again over the course of healing 4-8 weeks. It is normal to lose a little bit of pigment and this will be addressed at the touch up. Once healed, permanent eyeliner will appear softer than on the day it was done.
Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
Do not swim in the ocean or a pool for 14 days. Eyeliner MUST BE COMPLETELY HEALED or you run the risk of infection or poor color retention.

What is normal?
Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness. Ice packs are nice relief for swelling and bruising. Aftercare ointments work well for scabbing and tightness.
Lashes can look “weird”. This is due to the nature of healing and light scabs forming in the lash line which can hold lashes in position. Once healed lashes will fall back into their natural form and you may notice more new regrowth as this can stimulate the follicles.
Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 2-7 days the darkness will fade, and once any swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. If it is too light, or still a bit uneven after 4 weeks then we will make adjustments during the touch up appointment.

Care
Blot lips every hour and reapply Vaseline for the first 4-5 hours. Wash with warm water and gentle soap 2-3 times a day, starting on night 1 after you eat (treatment day). Keep lips coated in vaseline or aquaphor for 7-10 days or until all flaking is done. When applying ointments, always blot off previous layer before reapplying, this keeps clean product on the lips. When healed, wear sunscreen to aid in the longevity of your tattoo.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER:
Use a straw to drink liquids for the first couple days.
Try to keep lips in most natural state for 3-5 days. Don’t pull, open super wide, smile really big, etc. Cut food into small pieces.
DO NOT eat spicy or piping hot foods or drinks for 3-5 days
DO NOT eat/drink citrus for 3-5 days
Lips will appear bright, swollen and unnatural for the first 24 hours. Apply cold packs on treatment day and following day to reduce swelling. Swelling should dissipate after 24-48 hours and color will start to soften around day 4. When flakes begin to shed the color will lighten significantly by 50-70%. As lips continue to heal they can look uneven in color tone, not the correct color, and sometimes as if there is no pigment left at all….this is normal. It will take a full 8 WEEKS for even color balance to emerge. This is a process and requires some patience as lips are the slowest to “bloom”. If any unexpected pigment is lost, the touch up will address this. Always expect Lip Blush services to heal 50-70% lighter than the initial effect and like an intentionally soft stain, not flat lipstick. The objective is always some variation of “natural”.
Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
Do not swim in the ocean or a pool for 14 days. Your Lip Blush MUST BE COMPLETELY HEALED or you run the risk of infection or poor color retention.
DO NOT SWEAT WHILE HEALING- Sweat has salt in it which can break down the pigment causing poor color retention. When exercising, take a towel or wear a sweat band to catch any drips.

Needing an additional Touch Up . It is very uncommon to need any adjustments within less than a years time, however this can happen and is dependent on your skin, body chemistry, medications, sun exposure and lifestyle. Darker, more melanated lips and Lip Neutralizations do sometimes need more than 2 appointments however this will be discussed prior to booking a lip blush so you can prepare and know what to expect. These additional services are typically less than annual maintenance and are determined based on the time between your last scheduled service appointment.
Retouch Appointments are to be scheduled every 1-3 years post the initial procedure for Lip Blush. A Retouch is needed every 1 to 3 years to keep your lip blush up to date and fresh, depending on your skin, body chemistry, medications, sun exposure and lifestyle. Future Retouch sessions will cost the current “Retouc” rate at the time you have it done. If the color has faded more than 50%, or if it has been MORE THAN 3 YEARS since your last appointment, the entire procedure will need to be repeated. Maintenance is important to keeping semi permanent pigments stable in the skin. An email or text photo consultation may be necessary to determine if you need a Retouch or a repeat of the entire procedure.

Proper post-care is crucial to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery after a scalp micropigmentation (SMP) procedure. Here are some essential post-care tips:
1. Keep it Dry: For the first few days after SMP, avoid getting your scalp wet. This includes not showering or sweating excessively. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently pat your scalp if needed.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Protect your scalp from direct sunlight for at least a few weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat or use sunscreen if you need to go outside during this time.
3. Avoid Swimming Pools and Saunas: Stay away from swimming pools, saunas, and hot tubs for a couple of weeks post-SMP, as these can introduce bacteria to the healing area.
4. No Hair Products: Refrain from using hair products, such as shampoos, conditioners, or styling products, on your scalp for the first few days. Your practitioner will provide guidance on when it's safe to resume.
5. Don't Scratch or Pick: Itching is common during the healing process, but resist the urge to scratch or pick at your scalp. Doing so can damage the pigment and affect the final results.
6. Gentle Cleansing: After the initial healing period (typically a few days), you can begin gently cleansing your scalp with a mild, non-alcoholic, and fragrance-free shampoo recommended by your practitioner.
7. Moisturize: Your practitioner may recommend a specific moisturizer for your scalp. Apply it as instructed to keep the skin hydrated and prevent excessive flaking.
8. Avoid Excessive Sweating: Minimize activities that cause excessive sweating during the initial healing period, as sweat can disrupt the healing process.
9. Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled with your SMP practitioner. These sessions may be necessary to touch up or adjust the pigment as it settles.
10. Patience: Understand that the final results of SMP may take some time to fully develop. Be patient and allow your scalp to heal naturally.
11. Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating well, staying hydrated, and getting enough rest. This can aid in the healing process.
12. Avoid Hair Dyes: If you plan to color your hair in the future, consult with your SMP practitioner for guidance on when it's safe to do so.
Always follow the specific post-care instructions provided by your SMP practitioner, as they may have individualized recommendations based on your procedure and skin type. Proper post-care is essential for achieving the desired SMP results and maintaining the longevity of the treatment.
Careful aftercare is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
It’s important not to sweat for the entire healing process. 3 days no gym, afterward no sweat in the brow/eyeliner/lip area while it heals.
