It all starts with a good canvas!

The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive &

non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure.

• Do Not schedule if you’re Pregnant, Nursing or Diabetic.
• Do Not perform Electrolysis (1) week before procedure.
• Do Not tan (2) weeks before or have sunburned face.
• Do Not have any type of Facial or Facial Peel (3) weeks before procedure.

• Do Not drink alcohol (24 – 48) hours before procedure.
• Do Not consume coffee before procedure.
• Do Not take aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief. (Thins the Blood)

Your procedure will begin to oxidize (dry out) immediately. This causes the pigment to become darker.  Do not be alarmed, this dark color will fade during the next few days.  Some flaking off of the pigment is normal on some skin types; the pigment may sometimes disappear only to reappear a few days or weeks later.  Any pigment loss will be recovered at touch up.

• Dryness and itching in the treated area is normal. DO NOT SCRATCH!
• Gradual flaking (but, not whole pieces)
• Mild Tenderness

• Healing process for women under 40 is 3-10 days; women over 40 is 2-3 weeks.
• Total Healed Results – 30 Days.
• Ibuprofen is an Anti-inflammatory drug and can be used a day after procedure for discomfort.
• 80% of Good Healed Brows are due to proper post care.

• Apply a THIN coat of Gel Wound Care (Provided by Lady K) once daily being careful not to over saturate. A thin layer is all you need.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE PROCEDURE UNLESS APPLYING Gel Wound Care. If area becomes contaminated, BLOT area clean with hypoallergenic baby wipes.
• Do not pick, rub, or scratch your scabs or dry areas that may form during the healing process! This may cause you to lose color or damage your skin.  Instead, apply thin coat of Gel Wound Care.
• Do not apply makeup around or on your brows until all flaking is gone!Touch-ups may be done as soon as 4 weeks for women under 40, and 6 weeks for women over 40. For this reason, I do not want to overwork the skin by working on you too soon.No tanning or direct sun for 3 weeks.
• DO NOT WET BROW AT ALL UNTIL ALL FLAKING IS GONE!!! THAT INCLUDES ANY SWEATING! No heavy exercise, weightlifting, swimming, hot showers, hot tubs, jacuzzi or saunas. (WARM SHOWERS ARE RECOMMENDED)
• Do not use any face creams, exfoliators, or harsh cleansers on your brows.
• No Brow Waxing for 2 weeks. / No Facials for 4 weeks.

If you see formation of lymph within the first 48 Hrs. (Clear secretion seeping from the brows), Blot clean with hypoallergenic baby wipes and apply a thing coat of Gel Wound Care.

In addition, you should seek medical attention if the tattoo site becomes infected or painful, or if you develop a fever shortly after being tattooed.

Because of swelling, the eyebrows appear larger or thicker than the design you approved.  Stay calm, the swelling will subside in a few days and the brow will be 20-30 percent smaller once fully healed.

The pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not completely settled. The color of the pigment will soften gradually.  The scabbing process will also make the brows appear dark.  Stay calm, all of this will lighten within a week or so. The color will eventually be 20-30 percent lighter once fully healed.

Once the healing process takes place, it will look like dandruff or flaking of the skin. This might give you the impression that the color of the pigment is fading too quickly or is coming off, however, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your brows.  Pigment can disappear and reappear in 2-3 weeks.  It is perfectly normal.  The second session (Touch Up Session) will replace any ink that does not retain. The Touch Up Session is when perfecting/correcting the brows takes place.

The process can take anywhere from 3-10 Days, sometimes longer for women 40+.  This is because the skins cell turn over slows down as well as the body’s overall immune system with women who are older or have particular health issues.  It can take anywhere from 28–35 days to see the true eyebrow color.  Also keep in mind that some clients require 2-3 sessions before the target color is achieved based on pigment retention.

• Do Not apply Retin-A, AHA around the brow area for 72 Hrs. after treatment.

• Avoid sunbathing / sun exposure for 24 Hrs. to lessen the chance of Henna fading.
