Semi-Permanent Makeup
Pre & Post-Care
Instructions
To ensure your new brows heal beautifully and deliver the best results, following these Pre and Post-Care instructions is absolutely essential. Proper care helps minimize bleeding and skin sensitivity during the procedure, both of which can affect pigment retention and final results.
Post-care is equally important for supporting a smooth healing process and achieving long-lasting, flawless brows.
Pre-Care Instructions
To ensure optimal results and a smooth procedure, please carefully follow the instructions below:
Eat 20–30 minutes before your appointment
This helps stabilize your blood sugar, making you more comfortable and reducing sensitivity.Avoid workouts 24 hours before your procedure.
No alcohol or caffeine 48 hours prior
(Yes, even decaf coffee and tea contain caffeine!)Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least one week before your appointment.
Do not take the following 24 hours before your procedure:
Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Tylenol, Aleve, Motrin, Advil, or blood pressure medication (consult your doctor if needed).Avoid these 48 hours prior to your procedure:

(And avoid the brow area afterward.)Avoid AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) products near the brow area for at least 2 weeks.
No Botox or fillers in the forehead, temple, or eye area 1 month prior, unless you’re a regular injectable client.
Skip any brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week before your procedure.
(More natural hair = better results!)Avoid all facial treatments (chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser facials, etc.) for 4 weeks prior.
After-Care Instructions
Proper aftercare is crucial for healing and achieving long-lasting, beautiful brows. Please follow these steps carefully:
Remember: Your brows are initially an open wound. Handle them with care.
Days 1–3 (First 72 Hours)
Gently pat brows with a damp paper towel (no excess water).
Apply a thin layer of A&D ointment immediately after patting—once at night on Day 1, then morning and night through Day 3.
Days 4–14
Apply a rice-grain-sized amount of A&D ointment once daily (On mornings —or as needed).
Ongoing Aftercare
Always wash your hands for at least 30 seconds before touching your brows.
Do NOT use face soaps or scrubs on or near the brow area.
Avoid water exposure for 2 weeks.
No pools, baths, or recreational water activities. In the shower, avoid direct water on your face for the first 72 hours.No heavy exercise or sweating during the healing period.
Sleep on your back—avoid sleeping face-down while the area is sensitive.
Stay out of the sun and tanning beds.
Wear a hat or visor if you’ll be outdoors.You may use a clean, cloth-wrapped ice pack if needed for swelling or soothing.
Do NOT scratch, pick, or peel any scabs or flaking skin. This can lead to pigment loss.
Only touch your brows when applying ointment.
