Healing & aftercare
What to expect after your treatment, and how to care for it.
-
Days 1–3
Bolder and darker
Color looks stronger than it will heal. Keep the area clean and dry.
-
Days 4–10
Light flaking
Small flakes lift on their own. Let them fall; never pick them.
-
Days 10–14
Softer for a while
Color can look pale while new skin settles. This is normal.
-
Weeks 4–6
True color
The healed result shows. Note anything you would like to change.
-
Weeks 6–8
Perfecting touch-up
We fill any light spots and fine-tune shape and color.
First 7 days
Keep the area clean and dry. Wash gently twice a day and apply a rice-grain amount of the balm we give you.
Avoid for 2 weeks
Makeup on the area, swimming, saunas, heavy sweating and direct sun.
Lips
Drink through a straw for the first days and skip spicy food until the lips settle.
Skin care
Keep retinol, acids and peels away from the area for 4 weeks.
Long term
Sunscreen on healed brows and lips keeps the color fresh for longer.
