WHAT IS NORMAL
· Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising, and dry tightness can be normal for the first few days. Remember, your new brows are open wounds. Ice packs are a nice relief.
· Too dark, too light, or a slightly uneven appearance can occur. In 2-7 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates, unevenness usually disappears. If they are not to your satisfaction, the touch up appointment is very important and changes can be made once healed.
· A touch up appointment is required within 6-8 weeks of initial procedure, and then again every 6-18 months for maintenance. Failure to return within required touch up time frames will reset the existing client to a new client.
It is each client’s responsibility to book their touchup appointment(s) within the required touchup time frames to maintain existing client status.
As with all tattoos, always protect the brows with SPF 30 or greater once they’re fully healed to prevent premature sun-fading & discoloration.
