Healing Process & What to Expect
After the initial procedure your eyebrows will go through a healing process for 10 days. During those 10 days, as your skin is renewing, your eyebrows will go through a series of changes. They will get slightly darker and then get lighter before they come to their normal color. Some flaking will also occur between days 5-10.

MASK WEARING- this is NEW but a BIG one! Masks are DIRTY, especially the reusable ones. If clients need to wear a mask, please use a clean disposable each time, and wear minimally. Lips need air to heal.
Healing Process & What to Expect
Right after the procedure lips normally feel dry, chapped, tight and tender to the touch. Similar to how a sunburn feels.
The lips will may be swollen and slightly larger than normal and can look as though you may have had a lip filler injection. The degree of this varies from person to person. . The size of your lips will shrink back to normal within a couple of days.
Initially, the color will be super vibrant, like a bold lipstick. It is important not to be misled by the immediate ‘after’ results.
The color will fade up to 30-50% within the first 4 days. Color will fade on the inside first, then on the edges as they will peal and chap for the 3-5 days.
The completely healed results will have a softer and lighter appearance.
Avoid hot and hight colored foods/drinks for 5 days.
