Eyebrow Tattoo Process

Every treatment includes a thorough consultation where your eyebrows are measured according to your bone structure, drawn and designed to suit your face.

Each style will comprise of a 2-step process – Initial Treatment and 6 weeks touch up.

The initial treatment lays the foundation, we choose the colour and style best suited for you.

Then the Touch Up is where all the magic happens, we can now clearly see your healed results which give us the opportunity to perfect the colour choice, shape and symmetry.

Maintenance visits are recommended between 12-24 months. This will vary for each individual, all skins respond differently to treatment, and some will retain pigment longer than others.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper aftercare is a very important aspect of the long-term success, effectiveness, health, and overall satisfaction with your new eyebrow tattoos. It is very important to follow those instructions in order to achieve the best possible results from your permanent makeup procedure. Included here are general permanent makeup aftercare instructions that will help limit any infection or problems and assure a healthy and successful healing as quickly as possible.

AFTERCARE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE

Immediately after your cosmetic eyebrow tattoo procedure, you will feel tingling and tenderness, and probably a bit of swelling in the tattoo area. This is because the numbing cream/anesthetic used on your brows before applying the tattoo, will start to wear off and the newly exposed wound will begin the process of healing immediately. Also, it is highly likely that you will experience some skin sensitivity, redness and swelling for about 1-2 days. During the initial healing period, make sure you give the eyebrows approximately two (2) weeks to heal and set, and limit any physical activity (like swimming or saunas) or exposure to direct sunlight that might cause premature fading. All tattoos carry the inherent risk of infection and/or allergic reaction, if pain or tenderness persists for longer than a few days, consult your doctor immediately.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR NEW BROWS

The first 7-10 days are most critical to your healing & it is extremely important you follow all steps & instructions. You will be provided with an aftercare ointment (Vitamin A & D) Make sure to use it. It is recommended that you use the ointment at all times during this healing process until flaking is complete (approximately 2 weeks). Ensure your hands are clean before coming into contact with your tattoo throughout the healing process.3 hours after your appointment gently clean your tattoo site to remove any excess fluid or blood from the area using a damp cotton pad. After 48 hours using a cotton tip apply a half pea size of ointment onto the area. Reapply 2 x per day morning & night for 7 days.

AFTER THE FLAKING IS COMPLETE

Tattoo will take 7-10 days to fully appear once peeling has finished. The colour under the skin will at this point appear lighter & possibly a little pink in comparison to the skin that is peeling off. This is completely normal as the skin is in its re-modelling phase. At this point you will have a light pink layer of fresh new skin that can often alter how the pigment actually looks. It typically takes 6-8 weeks before the true colour appears.

DO NOT

  • Go into high exposure sun during the healing process.
  • Let water come into contact with the tattoo for long periods of time.
  • Use makeup, creams or exfoliants on the tattoo for the first 2 weeks.
  • Go into saunas or pools.
  • Get any massages, facials or skin treatments during the healing process.
  • Use any cosmetics with retinol acids or AHA's for 30 days after your appointment.
  • Use laser light therapy - this can lighten, darken or distort the pigment.
  • Scratch, pick, wiggle or move the tattoo until it has healed.

APPEARANCE

Be aware that the brand new ink from a fresh tattoo will most likely appear extremely dark and much thicker than expected, while others might seem exceedingly bright (ie; blondes and redheads), so don’t be surprised. Usually after about a week or so, the area and top layer starts to scab and slough off in certain places. This process is called shedding.  Comparatively, these sections may appear extremely light next to the non-shedded segments. Don’t worry, this pigment will eventually soften and settle into the appropriate shade when shedding is complete, and pigment resurfaces. In total, it should take about 3-4 weeks for your new eyebrow tattoo to shed completely and the pigment to resurface to its true color.

DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF HEALING

The days following the procedure, as your skin heals, it may feel itchy. This is normal part of the process and a good sign that you are healing properly. You might feel tempted to soothe the eyebrows with cold products. Although they won’t necessarily minimize any swelling, a cold compress (NOT frozen), or face cloths (not wet), lightly placed onto the eyebrows will help relieve the discomfort. Only do this for a day or so as repeated attempts to cool down the already traumatized tissue could actually increase the possibility of skin cell damage and infection. Never apply pressure to your new tattoo, and be very careful not to rub, scratch, scrub, or exfoliate the new eyebrow tattoo area as this can cause premature pigment loss and/or flaking.

AVERAGE HEALING TIME AND PROCESS

Average healing time will vary from person to person and will depend on several physiological factors that include age, skin type, circulation, hormonal cycles, and how easily and/or severely you swell and bruise. Generally, as with any type of skin trauma, older looser skin tends to take a bit longer than younger skin to heal. Other factors that may affect healing time include diet, excessive physical activity, exposure to direct sunlight, and any medications you might be taking.

TOUCH-UP PROCEDURE

After approximately two (2) weeks, your eyebrows will have mostly healed during the “shedding” or “flaking” process. As a result, the initial intensity and thickness will fade, and the desired color shade will start appearing after the first 3 weeks. At about the 6–8-week mark, you should be scheduled to do your “touch up” procedure especially if you would like to make any changes to the shape of your brow or fill in any areas needing correction or modification. During this “touch up” procedure, the eyebrow tattoo artist will go over your eyebrows again, exactly repeating the initial session. This repetition helps the tattoo last longer and encourages the ink to embed more permanently into the skin. For the next few weeks after your “touch up,” the aftercare from the initial appointment will be the same so be very careful not to wash your brows directly and be very gentle with them. Rubbing, scratching, or scrubbing them can, in fact, facilitate premature ink removal and cause scarring.

If you love your new brow shape, don’t touch them until they have healed and set!

Lastly, your follow up appointment will be free of charge. Depending on how well you follow these aftercare recommendations, and how fast the semi-permanent ink fades, you shouldn’t have to make another appointment (to color sharpen) for another 1-2 years (depending on color). If an additional touch up is required, please discuss this with me.

Any operations such as Botox, facial laser treatments or chemical peels will affect the pigment from the procedure and the overall appearance. Please notify your physician prior to performing those services.
