AFTER CARE
A large portion of how your brows heal depends on the aftercare you give them.
The day after your appointment your brows will appear significantly larger and darker than the final outcome. The superficial color will flake off and your pigment will look 30-40% lighter. Strokes will heal into a soft look. It will take time for this transition based on how quickly the outer layer of your skin heals.
All PMU is a multi-step process. You will book a follow up appointment 6-8 weeks after your initial treatment.

- Keep your eyebrows dry
- Use a washcloth to wash around your brows to clean your face
- Put a new pillowcase on your pillow
