Before Your Appointment
DO NOT: Work out the day of the procedure.
Discontinue tanning for two weeks prior.
DO NOT: Take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, fish oil or Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.
No alcohol within 24 hours of appointment. No caffeine the day of.
Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
Cannot be pregnant or breast feeding
Immediately After
It is possible to experience redness and swelling up to 48 hours after the procedure.
The treated area will appear much darker and bold due to the oxidation process during the healing period.
If the area is kept clean and dry then only a light pigment film (not thick scab) will appear after 4-7 days.
As the area heals it will become dry and itchy.
As the pigment film starts to flake off DO NOT pick, scratch, itch or pull off any of the areas which are peeling.
Choosing to pick at flakes and peeling areas will pull out pigment, and result in spots left without any pigment or in some cases scarring.
As the area continues to heal, a softer more natural result will be revealed underneath.
Please note that within the first 4 weeks the amount of pigment that you see can seem very faint. It may seem like the pigment has been lost; please be advised that as the skin regenerates the new skin can in some cases hide the hair strokes completely. You must allow the full healing time of 8 weeks to see the true color and result.
No workouts for 10 days post procedure
No saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools etc for at least 2 weeks
Avoid smoke, dust, dirt and debris for the first 7 days
No sunbathing or tanning for at least 3-4 weeks
No tinting, chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser or botox for at least 3-4 weeks

Aftercare
Wash your hands with an antibacterial soap before touching your brows and washing your eyebrows.
Day One (Day of appointment)
EVERY 30 minutes you must gently blot off any excess plasma from your eyebrows with a moist cotton pad using filtered water. Repeat this until bed. Avoid showering today, if possible.
Day Two through Ten
Avoid getting your brows wet as much as possible. We follow the dry healing method. Only after day 5 (if your brows are extremely dry) you may apply a very small amount of grapeseed oil to brows.
