- 2 hours after the procedure, wash the brows gently and air dries them.
- Apply a generous amount of ointment after every 2-3 hours. You may experience draining of lymph fluid; wash it gently and pat them dry.
- Common symptoms of infection may include swelling or tenderness around the procedure area. Or even high body temperatures.
- Since the healing process is longer, avoid the sun as UV rays can bring changes to the pigment of the tattoo.
- Wash the eyebrows gently with water and antibacterial soap every morning and night.
- Cleanse the eyebrows with fingertips with an extremely light touch, rubbing the area for 10 seconds and rinsing properly. Make sure there is no soap left.
- Dry the area with a gentle pat using a clean tissue. Avoid applying any products consisting of acids such as lactic, glycolic, AHA, or exfoliants.
- Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep and avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
- Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,
- Do not forget to apply an aftercare ointment using a cotton swab. Apply in moderation.
- Your showers should not go over 5 minutes to avoid the creation of steam. It is vital to keep the procedure area out of the water. Wet it a little at the end of the shower.
- Do not take hot showers as it can damage the area. Avoid excessive rinsing of the treated area.
- Give your brows four weeks to heal before booking a touchup, as it takes around four weeks for the color to settle properly.

Lip Blushing Pre-Care:
- Make sure you don't have dry lips before the appointment; otherwise, it is better to reschedule it. Exfoliate them three days prior to the appointment.
- As the appointment approaches, you can use a lip scrub to make your lips as hydrated as possible.
- If you have experienced a cold sore previously, it is best first to consult your doctor to give an anti-viral medication before the procedure takes place. As otherwise, it can result in an outbreak.
- It is best to take L-Lysine 2 weeks prior to the appointment and two weeks after the appointment to avoid any unwanted risk.

Lip Blushing Post Care:
- Lips will swell and become dry after the treatment. You can only apply ointments quite a few times a day. Follow this routine for a minimum of 14 days.
- Try your best to keep your lips hydrated; they should not become dry. When applying the ointment, tap it gently instead of rubbing it.
- Use a Q-Tip for applying ointments instead of using fingers. It will help minimize infection risks.
- Lips will become flaky, but this is something completely normal. Avoid scratching or picking them.
- When the lips heal, apply a sun block while avoiding acid products.
- Readiness, dryness, and tenderness are common causes of the healing process.
- Go for a touchup session if necessary.

Long Term Care
- It is best to use an SPF 50 to protect the brows. Avoid sun exposure to maintain the tattoo's color.
- Use a good exfoliant, and avoid usage of chemical exfoliants as otherwise, the brows can fade faster.
