Day 1: Keep clean and dry, do not touch your eyebrows! They may feel tender and appear a little red.
Day 1-3: Brows will start developing a thin layer of scab, continue keeping your brows dry and clean. May apply a thin layer of Aquaphor on itchy spots.
Days 4: Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment on each eyebrow with a cotton swab and clean hands, spread a VERY THIN layer of the ointment across the treated area every morning and night. Brows should not appear greasy, glossy or shiny, if so you used too much, as this can suffocate the skin and delay healing. Never apply ointment on wet or damp tattoo. Continue ointment until your brows are no longer scabbing.
Day 14+: Brows are safe from water. Client may return to normal skincare routines. Brows will appear very light, after scabs comes off, every week up to 6 weeks color will continue to surface and brows will get darker again.
Day 28-42: Your brows are healed and you're feeling unstoppable
Working Out Guidelines:
You should avoid intense workouts and heavy sweating for at least 7 to 14 days after a PMU brow service. Sweating causes salt to push out pigment, leading to patchy, faded, or blurry results. Light, non-sweaty exercise (like walking) is generally acceptable after 48 hours.
Key Guidelines for Working Out Post-Nano Brows:
Days 1–7 (Critical): Avoid heavy lifting, cardio, saunas, and hot yoga to prevent sweat and heat from affecting the fresh pigment.
Days 7-14 (Recovery): If returning to light exercise, immediately wash the area with gentle soap if you sweat to avoid infection and pigment loss.
Why wait: Nano brows are open wounds; sweat increases the risk of infection and causes poor, uneven healing.
