Having cosmetic tattoo brows, lips or eyeliner? Your care instructions are just below.

Please follow your instructions closely, and use only the aftercare products supplied by BROWSKII. Healing varies from person to person. All treatments carry risks, and a consultation is required.

Cosmetic tattoo care

Brows

Before

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications for at least 1 week before, after speaking with your doctor. This includes aspirin, niacin, fish and krill oil, ibuprofen and some heart medications.
  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before.
  • Avoid fake tanning for 2 weeks before, as it can change the healed colour.
  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning and sunburn for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. If you arrive tanned or sunburnt, your appointment will need to be rescheduled and your deposit is forfeited.
  • Avoid brow waxing for 1 week before, and brow tinting for 3 weeks before.
  • If you have taken Roaccutane (isotretinoin), please wait 6 to 12 months after you finish before treatment. Treatment cannot be done while you are taking it.
  • If you have had facial injectables, please wait at least 2 weeks before brow treatment. Otherwise we cannot perform the treatment.

After

  • Your brows will look darker and more intense at first. Mild redness or swelling is common and settles within about 2 days.
  • Peeling starts around day 4. Do not disturb it, as this can lift the pigment.
  • After 7 to 10 days, brows look lighter and softer. Pigment continues to surface over about 3 weeks, and healing takes about 4 weeks.
  • Day 1: clean the area every hour for 4 hours, and apply a small amount of aftercare cream after each clean.
  • Days 2 to 7: clean with sterile water and apply the cream twice a day.
  • For the first 7 days, keep water and soap off your brows. Avoid saunas, steam rooms and swimming.
  • Limit sweating. Resistance training is better than cardio, and clean the area with water after you sweat.
  • No makeup on the area for 1 week.
  • Do not touch or pick the area, and use a new cotton bud each time.
Lips

Before

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications for at least 1 week before, after speaking with your doctor. This includes aspirin, niacin, fish and krill oil, ibuprofen and some heart medications.
  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before.
  • Avoid fake tanning for 2 weeks before, as it can change the healed colour.
  • If you have had facial injectables, please wait at least 4 weeks before lip treatment. Otherwise we cannot perform the treatment.
  • If you are prone to cold sores, ask your doctor about cold sore prevention, such as an antiviral medication or lysine, before and after your treatment. We advise this even if you have never had a cold sore.
  • In the week before, apply lip balm daily and exfoliate your lips every 2 days.
  • Drink at least 1 litre of water in the 2 hours before your treatment.

After

  • Your lips may look heavily tinted and slightly swollen at first. Peeling starts around day 4. Do not disturb it.
  • Pigment continues to surface over the following weeks, and healing takes about 4 weeks.
  • Day 1: clean the area every hour for 4 hours with a wet cotton pad, and apply the aftercare cream after each clean.
  • Days 2 to 7: clean with water after meals, and apply balm as needed.
  • For the first 7 days, avoid hot and spicy food and drinks, saunas, steam rooms and swimming.
  • Use a straw, and clean your lips after meals.
  • No makeup on the area for 1 week.
  • Do not touch or pick the area, and use a new cotton bud or pad each time.
  • Continue your cold sore prevention for 7 days after treatment, as your doctor advises.
Eyeliner

Before

  • Remove all eye makeup before you arrive, and consider removing your contact lenses.
  • Treatment is not possible with any eye infection, or irritation in the surrounding area.

After

  • Your eyelids may feel puffy or heavy. This usually settles the next day.
  • Some peeling may occur around day 4. Leave the area alone.
  • Clean gently with dampened cotton tips, using small circular motions.
  • For the first 7 days, avoid saunas, steam rooms and swimming.
  • Do not rub or scratch your eyes.
  • Avoid all makeup, including mascara, for 1 week.
  • Do not wear contact lenses for 2 days.
