• Brow growth serums: You must be "off" prescription serums for 4 weeks prior to your service, and off over-the-counter serums for 2 weeks prior.To protect your investment, do not continue using brow growth serums until 4 weeks after your touchup.

• Lash growth serums: You must be "off" prescription serums for 4 weeks prior to your service, and off over-the-counter serums for 2 weeks prior.To protect your investment,do not continue using lash growth serums until 4 weeks after your liner touchup.
• Do not wear contact lenses to your appointment.
• If you wear lash extensions,they must be removed. If you plan to have them chemically removed, please do so 3 weeks prior to your service.To protect your investment,keep extensions off until at least 3 weeks after your touchup.
• If you are not certain that you can stay relaxed and in control of your eye movements throughout your service (no squinting, squeezing,fluttering,or opening unexpectedly), you may want to partner with your PCP to discuss an anxiety-reduction plan for the day of your service. The risks of permanent eyeliner services are magnified when clients cannot relax, and your safety is our number one priority.

• For 5 days, wash very gently twice daily with plain Dial hand soap (or the aftercare soap given at your appointment), pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a very thin layer of aftercare balm. The size of one grain of rice is enough to coat both brows. During these 5 days, avoid touching/picking/itching, applying skincare or makeup within 1” of brows, saunas, sun exposure, steam, excessive sweating, tanning beds/booths. Expect your brows to appear red, swollen, defined, darker, and warmer in the first few days. They may begin peeling on days 3-6 but should not have large scabs. No picking!
• After 5 days, keep in mind that the following will fade your brows over time; sun exposure without SPF, retinols/acids or any skincare meant to “brighten” or “resurface” skin within 1” of the brow area. Brows may fade drastically after peeling and “reappear” at any point up to the 6 week mark- be patient. If your brows are still peeking on day 5, continue using your aftercare balm until they are done.
• 6-10 weeks later: This second visit is needed to correct anything that may have healed improperly. Your aftercare will be that same as your first session, but the appointment itself will be quicker. We can also adjust the color at this appointment if needed but reshaping is not a part of the standard touchup.
• For your safety, DO NOT attempt to alter your own brows or follow a different aftercare routine.

Beginning the night after your service until day 5, cleanse and moisturize twice daily with a mild, unscented cleanser that is approved by your artist. Note that alternate skincare products that are used within 1" of the freckles area may lead to poorly healed results. Do not wear any makeup within 1" of the area. Also avoid rubbing, picking, excessive steam, sweating, tanning beds/booths, sun, swimming, and spray tans. Very mild scabbing is normal. Your freckles may be significantly lighter after they've each peeled. As of day 6, you can resume your normal skincare/makeup routing. In the long run, the following may decrease the life of your freckles; sun exposure without SPF, retinols/acids, and any skincare products meant to "brighten" or "resurface" the skin. IPL laser treatments are not able to be done at any point after receiving freckles.

• Throughout the entire healing process (day 1 until peeling is completed or day 7 if peeling does not occur) avoid: saunas, steam rooms, tanning of any kind, steam, excessive sweating, and direct streams of water. Do not apply makeup or skincare within 1” of the area, stay out of the sun, pool/ocean, or spray tan booth. It’s also critical to avoid extremely hot showers or baths to prevent pigment migration (color bleeding under the skin). You should not be exposed to ANY steam from the shower, oven, etc. Do not pick, peel, scratch, or unnecessarily touch them at all.
• Now, here’s what you SHOULD do: On day 1, keep the area dry. Many clients like to ice the area to reduce swelling, just be sure to keep a clean towel between the skin and ice. On day 2, continue to keep the skin dry. It is normal for the swelling to continue throughout day 2, but typically starts to improve by the end of the day. On day 3 you can begin applying a very thin layer of aftercare balm with clean hands (or Q-tip) as needed. The skin should feel hydrated but not look wet. Peeling and light scabbing are normal, as is asymmetry throughout healing. The liner cannot be judged until 5 weeks, and at your touchup we will perfect it. If at any point you experience discomfort or signs of infection, contact both your artist and primary care doctor immediately. Never attempt to alter your own PMU.
