Aftercare
Aftercare is a vital part of your results. Healing typically takes around 10–14 days, with full results visible after 4–6 weeks.
-
Keep the area clean and dry
-
Be gentle when cleansing your face — pat dry, do not rub
-
Do not pick, scratch or interfere with any flaking skin
-
Avoid makeup on the brow area for at least 10 days
-
Avoid skincare products on the brows during healing
-
Avoid excessive sweating (gym, saunas, steam rooms)
-
Avoid swimming
-
Avoid long, hot showers
-
Sleep on your back if possible and avoid pressure on the brows
-
Change pillowcases regularly (silk or satin if possible)
It is completely normal for your brows to appear darker initially, then soften and lighten as they heal. They may also look slightly uneven before your top-up appointment.
A top up is required 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment to perfect the shape, colour and overall result.
