Healing Timeline:

Your brows will heal in 4 stages:

1st Stage (Week 1) - Dark, Bold, and Unnatural

Brows will start to develop a thin layer of scab.

2nd Stage (Week 2) - Itchy, Peeling, Patchy

The scab is starting to feel tight and dry. Itching and flaking will occur during this week. This is the beginning stages of scabs peeling off. Avoid picking or scratching as it can pull off scabs prematurely and cause patchy results or scarring. 

3rd Stage (Week 3) - Light and Uneven

Scabs are done peeling. Brows will appear very light after scabs come off (the lightness will vary for each individual), every week for up to 6 weeks, the color will continue to surface, and brows will get darker. Brows are safe from water and clients may return to their normal skincare routine.

4th Stage (Week 4) - Brows Get Darker and Fuller

At this stage, the color of the brows is complete and all redness is gone. Brows have fully healed. A complimentary touch-up will be needed to make proper adjustments after at least 6 weeks.
