Proper aftercare directly impacts healed results.
Day 1
Brows appear darker and more defined than the final result. Mild redness and sensitivity are normal.
Days 2–4
Brows remain dark as the skin begins to close. The area may feel slightly dry or tight.
Days 5–7
Flaking begins. Brows may look patchy or uneven. Do not pick or scratch the area.
Days 8–10
Most flaking has resolved. Brows may appear lighter as the outer layer sheds.
Days 10–14
Color begins to soften and settle. Brows may continue lightening during this stage.
4–6 Weeks
Brows appear soft and natural. Your second session refines shape, fills lighter areas, and supports long-term retention.
Every skin type heals differently. Second session required 8–12 weeks after your first session.
