Day 1
- Gently blot the area with clean water wipes every 5–10 minutes for the first full day, until fluid stops rising to the surface.
- Removing this fluid helps prevent heavy scabbing. (The fewer scabs, the better.)
Days 2–7
- Morning and night, gently wash the area with mild soap and water using clean fingertips.
- Pat dry with a paper towel. Do not use washcloths.
Ointment Care
- If brows feel tight or itchy, apply a rice grain–sized amount of ointment as needed.
- Keep brows slightly dry — do not over-apply.
- If you can visibly see ointment sitting on the brows, you’ve used too much.
Important – For 7 Days
- Do not rub, pick, scrub, or scratch the area.
- Do not touch unless performing aftercare with clean hands.
- No makeup on the brows.
- No makeup wipes, removers, or chemicals on the brows.
- No swimming, excessive sweating, saunas, hot baths, or long hot showers.
- Sleep on your back. Use a clean pillowcase.
Additional Restrictions
- After 7 days of healing, use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily (sun exposure will fade pigment).
- 14 days before & after: No Botox or filler around the brow area.
- 30 days: No direct sun exposure, UV lights, lasers, or chemical peels.
- Avoid Retin-A and AHA products near the brows at all times.
Watch for Signs of Infection
Contact your physician if you experience:
- Severe redness
- Prolonged pain
- Excessive swelling
- Heat around the treated area
- Thick white, green, or yellow discharge
Proper healing and results depend on following aftercare instructions carefully.
