Eyebrow PMU Aftercare Instructions
-
Clean the Area After the Appointment:
Gently clean your eyebrows 2–4 hours after your appointment using a mild, unscented cleanser like baby shampoo and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean, lint-free towel.
-
Avoid Picking or Scratching:
Let any scabs or flakes fall off naturally. Picking can lead to uneven healing, pigment loss, or scarring.
-
Use Ointment Sparingly:
If advised, apply the recommended aftercare ointment very lightly. Do not saturate or overuse it, as excessive application can interfere with healing.
-
Avoid Makeup on the Brows:
Refrain from applying makeup, creams, or other products to the tattooed area until it’s fully healed (approximately 10–14 days).
-
No Vaseline, Polydoporin, Lanolin, or Healing Agents:
Avoid these products as they can push the ink out and disrupt the healing process. Use only what your artist recommends.
-
Avoid Submerging Brows in Water:
Keep your brows dry. Avoid swimming, saunas, long showers, or any activity that could submerge your brows in water during the healing period.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning Beds:
Protect your brows from direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading or irritation. After healing, use sunscreen to maintain the color.
-
No Laser Treatments, Peels, or Retinol:
Avoid using lasers, chemical peels, exfoliants, or retinol products near the tattooed area during the healing period to prevent damage or pigment fading.
-
Limit Physical Activity:
Avoid heavy sweating or strenuous workouts for 7–10 days to prevent irritation or pigment loss.
-
Healing Timeline:
Ombre and Combination Brows: Healing typically takes 4–6 weeks, after which the true color will settle.
Nano Brows: Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks for the color to stabilize.
-
Monitor for Irritation:
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal for the first few days. Contact your artist or a medical professional if you notice excessive irritation, oozing, or signs of infection.
-
Schedule Your Touch-Up Appointment:
After the healing period, book your follow-up appointment (usually 6–8 weeks post-procedure) to perfect the shape and color.
