What to expect after the procedure:

 

  • Day 1-2 The eyebrows are approximately 20 to 25% darker and bolder in width than they will be when healed. your skin is red under the pigment which causes the color of the pigment to appear darker. There will be some swelling, although it is difficult to see due to the thickness of the skin in the eyebrow area, this will subside. Exfoliant will begins in a few days will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure to flake away and a more narrow appearance will result. New skin will heal over the pigmented area and result in a softer appearance of your eyebrows. Don't be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker and heavier in size than you desired. This is all part of the process.

  • Day 3 Eyebrows will start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. Natural exfoliation will begin do not exfoliate yourself.

  • Day 4 The skin begins to flake, peeling from the outside edges first.

  • Day 5 Color finishes flaking off and appears softer grayer for up to 8 weeks until color clarifies.
