EYEBROW AFTERCARE:

*Sleeping slightly elevated can aid in swelling the evening of the procedure. Try to avoid sleeping on your face.
Aftercare dictates over 50% of what your final outcome will be. Please read all of these directions and follow them to achieve optimal results. Once the scabs fall off the area will appear faded as it heals fully. At 6 weeks the true colouring will be evident and be 30-50% of the initial appearance of the procedure. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call!

DO NOT TOUCH THE AREA!

• For the first 24 hours after your procedure: gently dab the area with a warm, damp paper towel to remove any bodily fluids every 30mins-1hour. Right before bed & the next morning. IF YOU DON’T DO THIS A THICK SCAB WILL FORM AND YOU WILL NOT RETAIN YOUR TATTOO.
• Allow the tattoo to dry heal for a couple days. After this time period, you may apply the aftercare THINLY 2-3 times a day to moisturize if it is becoming tight and dry.
• Keep the area moisturized in a thin layer similar to chapstick, not overly gooey.
• Wash hands with soap before touching the area, and this should only be to apply aftercare.
• Only aftercare products are to be used, not even antibiotic ointments.
• Before showering, apply the provided aftercare product to pigmented area to protect it from accidental water exposure.
• Remove old aftercare through gentle dabbing before applying a new amount.
• Before sleeping, apply an extra layer to keep it moisturized throughout the night.
• No make-up of any kind should be worn until the area is fully healed. (At least 10 days)
• Avoid sun and tanning beds for 30 days after. (Using these will fade your tattoo even after it has healed.)
• No gym or sweating the day (or night!) of your procedure.
• No heavy sweating for 7-10 days to ensure it is kept clean and sweat pushes out the pigment.
• No trips for 14 days, as new environments/climates are not ideal for consistent healing and aftercare.
• Keep it clean and dry. Water will soften the area and impede healing. Baths are recommended so there is no soaking in water or direct water streaming onto the tattoo.
• No pools, salt water, sauna, hot tubs, steam rooms etc while the area is healing.
• When washing your face avoid the area and pat dry if it does get wet.
• Do not wipe!! This will disturb the healing process and pull out the pigment.
• Do not wash the area for at least 10 days. Dab to dry using a tissue or Q tip. No towels!
• Do not pick at scabs as this will pull out the pigment and can cause scarring. Keep them moisturized and try to keep them on as long as possible.
• They will naturally fall off.

SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL AFTERCARE:

DO NOT TOUCH THE AREA!

• KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. Do not cover with a Band-aid or anything else, leave open to air. Air/oxygen provides good and faster healing. You should not be touching the area at all but if you must, please make sure your hands are exceptionally clean.
• DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal but keep the area out of the direct shower spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes. It is best to keep it dry, but if it does get wet – gently pat dry.
• NO BATHING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TUBS, TANNING OR EXERCISE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
• DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process (ie: no picking, scratching etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab off you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring. It is critical to keep the scabs on as long as possible to achieve optimal results.
• TREAT THE AREA WITH TLC – DO NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL THAT COULD CAUSE ISSUES OR PROBLEMS TO THE TREATED AREA.
• ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF apply one drop of Vitamin E oil 3-4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening session.
• DO NOT start applying the Vitamin E oil UNTIL ALL scabbing has naturally and completely fallen off. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off.

LIPS: Please drink all liquids with a straw until all scabbing has naturally fallen off. Brush with Toms of Maine or Classic Crest toothpastes ( no whitening or peroxide toothpastes.) Cut food into small bites – no biting into a sandwich or wrap. Try to keep mouth expressions to a minimum to maintain scabs.

• It is important to the process and integrity of the skin that a full 8 weeks of healing take place before another lightening session can be done. NO exceptions.
• Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a long process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a lightening product or laser. Please be patient and give the process a fair chance to work. Expect visible and wanted results in 2-5 sessions. How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be removed for the
  desired result. In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process by colour correcting or cover up.
• Results cannot be forseen, predicted or guaranteed.
