What To Expect During Your Tattoo Healing Journey?

tattoo removal aftercare what to expect

DAY 1-2

The brows will darken and look overdrawn. Don't panic this is temporary!

Care During This Time:

You must remove lymph and plasm build-up immediately after the procedure with water wipes until it subsides. This will stop scabs from forming and help with retention. Avoid touching the area with your fingers to prevent infection. The same applies to children's hands and pets. Change your pillowcase for a bacteria-free environment and try sleeping on your back for the first night. On day 2 give the brows a gentle wash with mild cleaners and pat them dry immediately.

DAY 2-5

A light crust may form.

Care During This Time:

The brows will feel dry, tight and itchy. This is a normal part of healing. Try not to scratch the brow or pick anything off. Moisturising the brows with an aftercare balm 2-3 times a day will alleviate irritation. Strictly no other products are to be applied on the brow during this time. Continue to cleanse daily but be mindful that prolonged contact with water or moisture will increase fading.

DAY 7-10

The tattoo will look soft and natural.

Care During This Time:

The crust should not be visible anymore however, mature skin types will need to wait longer for the brow to heal. Fading up to 50% is to be expected and colour will brighten over the coming weeks. Remember the skin will need at least 4 weeks to fully repair before the perfection visit. The perfection visit is required to boost the colour and fix any damage that may have occurred.

WHAT IF MY RESULTS ARE NOT SO GOOD AFTER 28 DAYS?

If healed results are poor it is either from lack of post-treatment care, skin type or quality, a compromised immune or some medications. Don’t worry, everyone’s healed journey is different and we ensure you will have a perfect set of brows at the end of the two-step process. We thrive on customer satisfaction so please do not feel embarrassed to speak up!

What Is A Perfection Visit And Why Do I Need One?

All cosmetic tattooing involves a TWO-STEP PROCESS to gradually and safely build up pigment without overworking or over saturating the skin. This process is essential for your original artist to evaluate color absorption, correcting any damage or excessive fading during the healing stage. The perfection visit is vital for your artist to understand how your skin responds to the treatment, providing crucial insights for future sessions.
