Post-care Instructions

The days following a semi-permanent procedure can be a bit confusing. Below is a guide on what to expect and how to care for your brows properly.

Anchor 1

Wash your brows

 

Day 1-3

Work up a lather with antibacterial soap. Use the tips of your (clean) fingers to gently rub eyebrows in a circular motion. 2-3 passes at most. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to blot them dry. Please, no rubbing. Repeat this process morning and night for the first 3 days ONLY.

Moisturize your brows

 

Day 1-3

Place a small, rice grain sized amount of After Marxx Healing Ointment onto a cotton swab. Gently smooth over eyebrows. Repeat this process morning and night for the first 3 days ONLY.

THINGS TO AVOID

  • Do not rub, pick, or scratch the treated area. Allow scabs or dry skin to exfoliate naturally to prevent scarring and pigment loss.
​
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 4 weeks to prevent pigment changes, hyperpigmentation, and scarring.
​
  • Avoid pools, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and hot baths for 3 weeks.
​
  • Avoid sweating for 10 days (exercise, hot weather, or any activity causing brow-area perspiration may push out pigment).
​
  • Do not sleep on your face or brows for the first 10 days.
​
  • Keep hair and bangs away from your brows for 10 days.
​
  • No makeup or skincare on the treated area for 10–14 days.
​
  • No facials, chemical treatments, laser, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
​
  • No Botox for 4 weeks; ideally wait until after your touch-up has healed.
​
  • Once fully healed (after 10 days), apply SPF 50+ to protect color retention.
​
  • Avoid eyebrow tinting for 2 weeks post-procedure.
​
  • Once healed, avoid Retin-A, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion around brows.
  • ​
  • Maintain shape by tweezing, threading, waxing, or shaving hair outside your tattooed design.
