Powder Brow 
Aftercare

The First 10 Days

  • Blot your brows as instructed immediately after your appointment.

  • Wash your brows morning and night with a gentle cleanser until flaking has finished (about 10 days).

  • Pat dry and apply a thin layer of the healing balm provided.

  • Keep makeup and skincare products off the tattooed area.

  • Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Do not pick or scratch any flaking skin.

What to Expect

Healing is different for everyone, but it’s completely normal for your brows to:

  • Look darker and bolder at first.

  • Flake and peel as they heal.

  • Appear lighter or patchy before the color returns.

  • Fade up to 40% for a soft, natural healed result.

Long-Term Care

Once healed, protect your brows with SPF and avoid applying exfoliants or retinol directly over the area. Most clients enjoy their results for 2–3+ years before choosing a color refresh.

Lip Blush 
Aftercare

The First 10 Days

  • Keep your lips clean and apply the recommended healing balm when lips feel dry, but be careful not to over apply.

  • Drink through a straw for the first 24–48 hours when possible.

  • Avoid spicy foods, excessive heat, kissing, swimming, saunas, and strenuous exercise for the first few days.

  • Do not pick, peel, or bite any flaking skin.

  • Avoid lipstick, lip gloss, and other cosmetic products until healing is complete.

What to Expect

Healing is different for everyone, but it’s completely normal for your lips to:

  • Feel swollen and appear brighter immediately after your appointment.

  • Peel or flake during the first week.

  • Become very light after peeling before the color gradually returns.

  • Continue developing and softening over the next 8–12 weeks.

Long-Term Care

Protect your lips with SPF lip balm whenever you’re outdoors to help preserve your color. Most clients choose a refresh every 2–5 years, depending on their desired vibrancy and lifestyle. 

Eyeliner 
Aftercare

The First 10 Days

  • Keep the area clean and dry.

  • Apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare product as directed.

  • Avoid eye makeup, lash extensions, contact lenses (if possible for the first 24–48 hours), and skincare products near the treated area.

  • Avoid swimming, saunas, excessive sweating, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Do not rub, scratch, or pick at any flakes.

What to Expect

Healing is different for everyone, but it’s completely normal for your eyeliner to:

  • Appear darker and slightly thicker immediately after your appointment.

  • Experience mild swelling or tenderness for the first 24–48 hours.

  • Flake lightly as it heals.

  • Heal lighter than it initially appears before the final color settles over the following several weeks.

Long-Term Care

Once healed, protect the area with SPF around the eyes when possible and avoid exfoliating products directly over the tattoo. A color refresh is typically desired every 2–5 years, depending on your skin and lifestyle.

Freckle 
Aftercare

The First 10 Days

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry.

  • Avoid makeup, active skincare, excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Do not pick or scratch any flaking skin.

  • Use a mild cleanser and moisturizer daily (CeraVe).

What to Expect

Healing is different for everyone, but it’s completely normal for your freckles to:

  • Appear darker and warmer immediately after your appointment.

  • Soften significantly as they heal.

  • Lightly flake during the healing process.

  • Fade into a more natural appearance over the following 8–12 weeks.

Long-Term Care

Wear SPF daily to help maintain your results and prevent premature fading. Freckle tattoos typically last 1–2 years, depending on your skin type, sun exposure, skincare routine, and desired look. 

Brow Design & Dye
Aftercare

The First 24 Hours

  • Keep your brows completely dry.

  • Avoid makeup, skincare, lotions, toners, and oil-based products on the brows.

  • Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, excessive sweating, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Do not scrub or exfoliate the brow area. 

What to Expect

Results vary based on your skin type and daily routine.

  • The skin stain will appear darkest immediately after your appointment before gradually softening.

  • The stain typically lasts up to 7–10 days.

  • The color on the brow hairs lasts up to 4–7 weeks.

  • Oily skin, frequent cleansing, sun exposure, swimming, and active skincare products may cause the stain to fade more quickly. 

Maintain Your Results

  • Avoid oil-based cleansers and exfoliating products directly on your brows.

  • Wear SPF daily to help prevent premature fading.

  • Brush your brows into place daily for a polished look.

  • Most clients schedule maintenance appointments every 4–6 weeks to keep their brows looking fresh. 

Brow Lamination
Aftercare

The First 24 Hours

  • Keep your brows completely dry.

  • Avoid makeup, skincare, and exfoliating products around the brows.

  • Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, steam, and prolonged sun exposure.

  • Do not rub or manipulate your brows unnecessarily.

  • Avoid self-tanner on or around the brow area.

What to Expect

Your brows may feel slightly stiff or appear extra fluffy immediately after your appointment.

  • The hairs will soften over the next few days.

  • Your brows will remain easier to style while maintaining their lifted shape.

  • Results typically last 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth cycle and home care.

Maintain Your Results

  • Brush your brows into place each morning with a clean spoolie.

  • If your brows feel dry, apply a conditioning hair mask or a small amount of K18 or Olaplex to help keep the hairs healthy.

  • Avoid harsh exfoliants and active skincare products directly on the brows.

  • For the healthiest long-term results, I recommend a 4-week Maintenance Appointment, which includes a conditioning K18 treatment, brow wax, and hybrid dye to refresh your brows without over-processing

Laser Removal Aftercare

The First 48 Hours

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry.

  • If needed, apply a cool compress for 10–15 minutes at a time to help reduce swelling.

  • Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at the treated area.

  • Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms until any redness or irritation has resolved.

  • Avoid applying active skincare products (retinol, acids, exfoliants, etc.) directly over the treated area until the skin has healed.

What to Expect

Healing is different for everyone, but it’s completely normal to experience:

  • Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness similar to a sunburn.

  • Temporary whitening (“frosting”) immediately after treatment.

  • Light flaking or small scabs as the skin heals.

  • Temporary lightening of the brow hairs. This is harmless, does not damage the hair follicle, and your natural hair color will gradually return as the hairs grow.

  • Gradual fading of the tattoo over the next 6–8 weeks as your body naturally clears the fragmented pigment.

Maintain Your Results

  • Wear SPF 30+ daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure while the area is healing.

  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your body’s natural healing process.

  • Allow 6–8 weeks between laser sessions for optimal pigment clearance.

  • Follow your personalized treatment plan, as most cosmetic tattoo removals require multiple sessions for the best results.

Good to Know: There is little to no downtime after laser tattoo removal. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately, and makeup can typically be worn the following day as long as the skin is intact and comfortable.
