HEALING PHASES
Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will appear red and swollen. The pigment may also appear darker and more intense than the final color. The shape is also thicker than desired.
The eyebrows are now thick and even darker. The swelling and redness will begin to subside.
Your brows will become dry and small crusts will form due to the excess pigment being pushed to the surface with your natural skin cell renewal. Let the pigment fall off by itself to avoid uneven pigmentation.
The pigmentation fades and can even fade completely as the working white blood cells (healing cells) cover the pigmentation.
The pigment starts to come back but it is not the final color. Your brows will have better retention after your touch-up (6-8 weeks following the initial appointment).
Brow perfection! Your brows will need to be touched up every year to maintain the desired look.
THE HEALING PROCESS MAY VARY FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER, AS
EVERYONE'S SKIN HEALS AT A DIFFERENT RATE.
