Eyebrow & Freckles Aftercare
Day 1
-
- Using your CLEAN hands blot the area throughout the 1st day and continue to blot every 5 minutes with a clean dry tissue until “oozing” stops.
- Make sure to sleep on a clean pillow case for the next two weeks, changing when needed.
Days 2-7
-
- Your brows/freckles will appear darker.
- The morning after your treatment, gently wash the area with fragrance free soap and water using a circular motion.
- Apply a very tiny amount of the healing cream given to you by the artist. The application should be thin, like applying lip balm.
- DO NOT MASSAGE OR RUB. AVOID SCRUBBING. ABSOLUTELY NO PICKING!
- Do not introduce new products to that area that have not been approved by your artist.
- Use the cream twice per day if you have normal/dry skin.
- Use once per day if you have oily skin.
Day 7-14
Please Wait 2 Weeks Before:
-
- Applying makeup on the brows/freckles.
- Swimming in pools, using hot tubs, saunas, or going to the beach.
- Long, hot, or steamy showers.
- Performing activities that will produce sweat.
- Tanning or using anti-aging products (including retinol) on the brows/freckles.
IMPORTANT!
-
- NEVER touch your fresh tattoo for any reason.
- If you experience scabbing, crusting, or flaking please let your tattoo exfoliate naturally.
- In the rare event you suspect an infection, please email 12ozstudios@gmail.com.
- NO SUN for 30 days after your procedure. (Wearing a hat and/or sunglasses WILL NOT be sufficient).
- Avoid alcohol consumption directly after your procedure.
- Your brows/freckles will be dark and bold at first, then will become lighter once healed (roughly 30% lighter). The color will take 3-4 weeks to fully adjust.
- Once healed, sweating regularly and using certain skin products can cause hair strokes to turn into powder brows.
- Using sunblock is the best investment to help the longevity of your tattoo.
- Avoid laser, waxing, chemical treatments, or any facial procedures until your brows are fully healed.
- Normal swelling will last 2-4 days. This will cause the tattoo to look larger than it is. Once the swelling has subsided it will look smaller.
- Touch ups are an important part of the procedure. Perfection is not to be expected after the initial procedure.
