How do I take care of my new brow tattoo?
Day of (After the procedure):
- After the procedure gently blot the area with a clean paper towel to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this until the oozing stops
Cleanse the area (Day 1-10)
- Gently wash your brows morning and night with an unscented antibacterial soap.
- Avoid cleansing products with acids and exfoliants
Hydrate the area (Day 3-10)
- Apply a tiny, rice grain amount of ointment (A&D or Aquaphor) on each brow.
- DO NOT OVER APPLY OINTMENT as this will delay healing
- If you have dry or normal skin apply a tiny rice grain amount 2x a day
- If you are more on the oily side do not apply ointment at all
10 days is the average healing time. Depending on how your skin takes it, it can take more or less time to heal.

What should I expect during the healing process? Healing is a key part of your brow transformation. Every client heals differently, but here’s a general idea of what’s normal after your PMU brow appointment:
Day 1–2: Fresh & Bold
Brows will appear darker and more defined than expected
Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling is normalDay 3–5: Flaking & Peeling
Scabbing or flaking will begin
Brows may look uneven or patchy
Do not pick, scratch, or peel — this can cause scarring or uneven color
Day 6–10: Light & FadedBrows will lighten significantly — don’t worry, color will resurface
Skin may still feel dry or slightly itchyWeek 2–4: Softening & Settling
Color starts to return and even out
Brows take on a softer, more natural finish
Full results won’t be visible until healing is completeTouch-Up is Key
A touch-up at 6–8 weeks is part of the process and essential for refining your shape and color. This is the perfect time to address any fading, uneven areas, or adjustments. Please avoid picking at your brows during healing to ensure the best possible results.

Things to Avoid while your brows are healing
Avoid During Healing (First 7–14 Days)
Touching or picking the brows
Getting brows wet (avoid pools, saunas, steam, and excessive sweating)
Applying makeup or skincare directly on or near the brows
Sun exposure or tanning beds
Facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion
Exfoliating products (like retinol, glycolic acid, or scrubs)
Heavy workouts or excessive sweating
Sleeping on your face or side
Using oils or petroleum-based products on the brow area

Always follow your aftercare instructions closely. Allow your brows to heal naturally and fully before considering any additional treatments. Picking or exposing your brows to these elements can cause pigment loss, patchiness, or scarring.
