IMPORTANT NOTICE: Treatment success is literally dependent on your proper after-care process. It is imperative that you follow his step by step aftercare process 100%. Failure to do so may put you at risk of losing up to 80% of the drawn strokes.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS:
THE HEALING PROCESS-WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE FIRST 6-8 WEEKS:
The first week is going to be tough and you may ask yourself some of the following questions.
Yes, it’s natural to freak out a little bit. You’ve been looking at the same person your entire life and now someone a bit different is looking back at you. You’ll also be inclined to think that the redness will last forever. It won’t. Please don’t worry. The Intensified color and slight redness are all part of the initial healing process and will only last for about 2-5 days... just be patient. The shock phase will soon ware away, so please just trust the process. After about 7 days, the brows will fade by as much as 20% and the size will shrink by about 10% forming a much more natural look. The sensation can sometimes be compared to that of a slight burn, and some minor peeling or flaking may occur. Try to avoid picking at your brows as you will run the risk of removing pigment in the process.
All healing times vary with skin type, and you may experience color fading and loss of hair strokes. This is completely normal and why Justin will provide a complimentary touch up session in about 4 to 6 weeks. He will also use this session as an opportunity to evaluate your healing process and fill in any missing strokes. He will even give you a boost of color if required. He’ll then recommend the best follow up schedule for future appointments.
