POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• NO soaps and facial cleansers on the pigmented area for the first 5 days. Keep brows dry. Washing too early will cause disruption of the pigment settling in the skin.
• Apply very thin layer of the provided healing ointment daily. Use dabbing motion. Do NOT Rub.
• Any cleansing done after 5 days should ONLY be done with cool-temperatured water only and a clean cotton pad.
• ONLY touch brows with clean hands during healing time. Use a clean, cotton pad or q tip to treat or cleanse brows.
• Baths and showers are allowed as long as face does not get wet. Use shower cap to cover brows to avoid water contact.

• AVOID applying makeup to the pigmented area until brows are healed - (Healing time is usually 10-14 days) 
• AVOID rubbing the pigmented area vigorously when washing your face. Be gentle!
• NO scratching or picking away scabs or flakes on pigmented area until fully healed. Picking off prematurely will result in areas with insufficient pigment. Allow brows to heal on their own without interruption.

• NO swimming in fresh, salt, or chlorinated water for at least 2 weeks.
• AVOID direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks. After brows are healed, you can apply SPF 30 to pigmented area daily to avoid premature fading of the brows and/or skin damage from the sun. Protect your skin!
