IMMEDIATELY AFTER
BROWS
It is possible to experience redness and swelling up to 48 hours after the procedure
The treated area will appear much darker and bold due to the oxidation process during the healing period
As the area heals it will become dry and itchy
As the pigment film starts to flake off DO NOT pick, scratch, itch or pull off any of the areas which are peeling
Choosing to pick at flakes and peeling areas will pull out pigment, and result in spots left without any pigment or in some cases scarring
As the area continues to heal, a softer more natural result will be revealed underneath
Please note that within the first 4 weeks the amount of pigment that you see can seem very faint. It may seem like the pigment has been lost; please be advised that as the skin regenerates the new skin can in some cases hide the hair strokes completely. You must allow the full healing time of 4 - 6 weeks to see the true color and result.
LIPS
It is possible to experience redness the day of the procedure and swelling for up to five days after the procedure.
The treated area will appear much darker and bolder due to the oxidation process during the healing period
As the area heals it will become dry and itchy--let your lips peel and do not pick at flakes as it will pull out pigment and in some cases cause scarring
As the lips heal, a softer more natural result will be revealed underneath.
