What to expect.
DO NOT expect your brow tattoos to heal perfectly after the first session. This can be a 2 step process. It takes time. BE PATIENT during your 10-day healing process your brows will change and appear different from day to day.
Immediately after your procedure brows will appear darker and more defined and this will last up to 2 weeks. Your brow tattoo can appear more solid, hair strokes may seem to disappear and it may look wet and painted on.
Around days 4-5, you will experience flaking and your brows may look dry. DO NOT PICK your brows, let any dryness fall off naturally. If flakes get picked off prematurely missing hair stokes will result and cause patchy brows which can lead to scarring.
Your brow tattoo will take up to 4 weeks to fully heal. When the flaking comes off the hair strokes may seem faint this is because a fresh layer of skin has healed over the brow tattoo. Give your brows a few weeks and the hair strokes will become clearer. Colour will continue to change on a daily basis until all healing is complete at the 4-week mark.
You may experience itchiness in the brows after the 10 days for up to 2 months due to the healing process of the dermal layer.
Not everyone's hair stroke brows can heal clean and crisp. Hair strokes for oilier skin types tend to heal more solid and powdery while drier skin types tend to heal more crisp and defined. Also for those who bleed more may tend to need more touch-ups as the blood pushes the pigment out while we tattoo.
Touch-Ups.
Allow your brows a MINIMUM of 4 weeks to heal before booking a touch-up. This gives you the time to decide if you do or do not need a touch-up appointment. It takes a full 4 weeks for the colour to settle.
It is your responsibility to book your touch-up appointments. Please keep the high demand in mind. If your tattoo comes back too faded additional charges may apply.
Touch-ups are typically done within the first 3 months after the initial appointment.
This can be a 2 (and sometimes even 3) step process.
The first session is used to build shape and gain symmetry.
The second session is used to perfect the brows and add density.
This is a process and some clients may need multiple sessions to achieve their desired result.
Do not expect perfect results after the first session.
Darker skin and oily skin women, permanent makeup will not look as bold or sharp compared to lighter, dryer skin type clients.
Some client’s skin may have a harder time retaining pigment and may require additional sessions. Long-term care.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS as everyone’s result will vary due to skin type, lifestyle, and the initial 10-day care and long-term care of your brow tattoo.
Use at least SPF 50 to protect your brows, sun exposure will cause fading and can alter the color of your tattoo.
Do not use chemical exfoliants on the brows, this will cause the brows to fade faster.
Do not laser your brow area (IPL etc), some lasers may change the color of the ink.
As the tattoo fades the strokes will get fainter and less defined.
Maintenance is required to maintain desired results. Touch Ups are done on average every 9 - 24 months to maintain your brow tattoo.
Hairstroke brows typically last 1-3 years.
