Things to avoid during healing
First Seven Days
Do not pick, scratch or peel the healing area
Do not apply any make-up or products on eyebrows
Avoid sleeping on the face
Avoid direct sun exposure
Avoid working out to prevent sweating
Avoid water on eyebrows during shower for at least 7-10 days or until healed
Avoid facial massage,facial steaming, sauna, hot tubs, long hot showers, long hot baths, ANYTHING that can make you sweat
As long as ALL the peeling and flaking is totally done, you can put makeup on your brows if you’d like.
In The Next 30 Days
Avoid sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, and creams that contain regeneration factors.
Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel Laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.
Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to faster pigment fading.
Healing process
Day 1 Dark and swollen
Day 2-4 Extra dark no longer swollen
Day 4-6 flaking/peeling. Following proper aftercare on day one will prevent scabbing. Do not pick or pull at flaking
After flaking phase is a “light phase” because top layer of skin is healed but bottom layers are not yet
Day 30-35 fully healed
