aftercare 101 - PMU BROWS: Ombre Powder Brows, Microblading OR NANO COMBO BROWS
-
After the treatment, gently blot the area with clean cotton rounds to absorb any lymph fluid. Continue to do this every 5 mins until the oozing has stopped. This should last upto an hour.
Try to sleep on your back and do not touch your brows.
-
Wash daily to remove bacteria, build-up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)
Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented cleanser like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or baby shampoo. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.
Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away.
To dry, gently pat dry with paper towel. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.
Apply Vitamin A & D ointment after each cleanse (you dont need a lot of the ointment, dont rub it in but also dont have a thick coat of it.)
-
Begin the dry heal phase.
Continue to cleanse your brows daily and pat dry.
No need to use the ointment anymore. At this point we want your brows to dry heal and scab.
Do NOT pick at your scabs as this will affect the healing process and give you a patchy look when your brows heal (trust me, I will be able to tell). Any flaking or scabbing, let fall off naturally. Its only a few days but it makes the biggest difference with your end result.
-
Healing will take 2 - 4 weeks and please note that it is normal for the treated area to scab and/or flake for a bit longer or shorter amount of time (everyone is different).
Remember to NOT pick at the scabs as it will remove the pigment.
As your Brows heal, the color will fade. This is normal and the skin will undergo a phase in which the pigment could totally disappear. Again this is normal. Upon the tissue healing the pigment will resurface anytime around 2 - 3.5 weeks
-
Schedule your Touch Up appointment with me at the 6- 8 week post treatment mark to optimize the results and make any tweaks to your brows
-
Do NOT touch or pick the scabs!!!
Avoid saunas, steam or any other heat treatment for a minimum of 2 weeks
Limit makeup and skincare use around the treated area (if you must use brow makeup, ensure this is at the 2- 3 week mark or thereafter)
Keep the treated area as dry as possible
-
Touching the treated area, if you need to then ensure you do so with freshly cleaned hands to avoid infection
Avoid using soaps, cleansers, creams or makeup on the treated area as well as, bleach or depilatory products.
Avoid facial treatments, including Lash or Brow treatments (ie: Tinting, Tweeting, Waxing and/or threading). for a minimum of 4 weeks post treatment
