Permanent brows after-care instructions

After-care Instructions

Taking care of your brows after the procedure is an important part of your PMU brow journey. Following the after-care instructions will help with your brow retention and heal properly. Not following the after-care instructions can result in loss of retention, patchy brows, and infection.

Do:

Clean your brows morning and night with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or baby shampoo.
Pat your brows dry with a clean paper towel or cotton pads.
Sleep on a clean, fresh pillow case.
Wear a hat when in direct sunlight for the next 4 weeks.
After your brows are done peeling, you may put spf sunscreen on them to protect them from the sun.
If you were given ointment, only put a rice grain size amount on your brows 1-2 times a day. You need to let your brows breathe. Putting too much ointment will suffocate your brows and it won't heal well.

Don't:

Touch your brows with your fingers right after the procedure. Touching them with unclean hands will increase the chance of infection.
Put lotion, Vaseline, moisturizer or skin care products on your eyebrows while they are healing. You can put makeup and skincare on your brows after they are done peeling.
Fill in your brows with makeup while they are still scabbing. They can be filled when they are done scabbing and peeling.
Take hot, steam showers for the next 10 days. If you like to take hot showers, keep them short and avoid water from touching your brows.
Exercise or sweat for one week.
Tan or expose brows to the sun for 4 weeks.
Sleep on your face for the first 10 days.
Rub, scratch or pick you brows.
Excessively rinse and hot water on the brows.

*If you notice blood or plasma seeping from your brows, take a clean paper towel and wet it in cold water and pat your brows every 1-2 hours on the first day. Distilled water is best.

If you think your brows may be infected, please talk to your doctor.
