  • Proper aftercare is essential for the best healed results.

    For the First 48 Hours:

    • Keep the brow area clean using a dampened disposable cotton pad with preboiled, cooled down water,

      this is to remove any bacteria and lymphathic fluid from the freshly broken skin. 

    • Avoid touching the brows with unwashed hands.

    During Healing (7–14 Days)

    • Apply your recommended aftercare balm sparingly as instructed.

    • Do not pick, scratch, or remove any flaking skin.

    • Avoid getting the brows excessively wet or submerging them in water - Keep showers short and avoid soaking the area.

    • Avoid makeup directly on the brows until they have completely healed on the surface.

    • Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure and always protect healed brows with Spf 50 when exposed to high UV. 

    • Do not use exfoliating products, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or active skincare on the brow area.

    Healing Expectations

    • Your brows will appear darker immediately after treatment.

    • Mild redness and tenderness are normal for the first 24–48 hours.

    • Around days 4–10, the brows may begin to flake or peel. This is a normal part of healing.

    • Once the flaking has finished, the brows may appear lighter before the colour gradually returns over the following few weeks.

    • Final healed results are typically visible after 6–8 weeks, when your perfecting appointment can be carried out if required.

    Long-Term Care

    • Apply SPF 50 daily to help prevent premature fading.

    • Avoid excessive sun exposure where possible, wear SPF50 or Sun block when you're on holiday, in the sun etc.

    • Maintain your brows with colour boost appointments as recommended by your practitioner.

    • Follow a good skincare routine, but avoid regular exfoliation directly over the brow area to help prolong pigment retention.

    • Do not use retinol, acid peels or active anti aging products on the tattoo area. 

    Following these instructions will help your SPMU enhancements heal beautifully and give you the best possible long-term results.

  • To get the most from your treatment and keep your skin glowing, follow these simple aftercare tips:

    • Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a gentle moisturiser.

    • Apply SPF 30–50 every day and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours.

    • Use gentle skincare for 2–3 days and avoid exfoliants, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other active ingredients.

    • Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours.

    • If possible, avoid wearing makeup for the rest of the day to let your skin breathe.

    • Don't pick or scrub your skin - allow it to heal naturally.

    • Continue with a consistent skincare routine to help maintain your results.

    A healthy glow is often visible immediately after treatment, with your skin continuing to look fresh and radiant over the following days.

    • Treat the area like sunburn.

    • Keep the area clean and dry.

    • Use a cool compress if hot or swollen

    • Avoid sun exposure and fake tan.

    • Once healed, use broad-spectrum SPF 50.

    • Contact Roxanna if you notice increasing redness, heat, swelling, pus, severe pain or signs of infection.

  • Your lips will go through several healing stages. Following these instructions carefully will help achieve the best possible healed colour.

    Immediately After Treatment

    • Drink through a straw for the first 24 hours if recommended.

    • Avoid kissing until the lips have begun to heal.

    • Avoid smoking where possible, as it may slow healing.

    • Keep lips dry after washing and gently pat them dry.

    Avoid Until Fully Healed

    • Swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms.

    • Intense exercise for the first 24–48 hours.

    • Direct sun exposure and tanning.

    • Lipsticks, glosses, or other cosmetic products on the treated area unless approved by your technician.

    • Facial treatments, chemical peels, or exfoliation around the lips.

    Healing Timeline

    • Days 1–3: Lips appear brighter and may feel swollen or tender.

    • Days 4–7: Flaking and light peeling begin. Do not pick the skin.

    • Days 8–14: Colour may appear much lighter or uneven as healing continues.

    • Weeks 4–8: The true healed colour gradually returns and softens.

    Your Perfecting Appointment

    Your touch-up appointment is recommended approximately 6–8 weeks after your initial treatment. This allows any areas that have healed lighter to be adjusted and ensures the most even, long-lasting result.

    Important

    Healing varies from person to person. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, medications, sun exposure, and following the aftercare instructions can all affect your final healed colour and longevity.

    If you experience excessive swelling, signs of infection, or have any concerns during healing, please contact me promptly or seek medical advice if necessary.

  • Eyebrow Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare
    Following your aftercare instructions is an important part of achieving the best possible results from your laser tattoo removal treatment. Proper care helps reduce the risk of complications, supports the healing process, and allows your body to remove the fragmented tattoo pigment effectively.

    What to Expect After Treatment
    It is normal to experience:
    ◦ Mild redness and swelling around the treated area.
    ◦ A warm or tight sensation similar to mild sunburn.
    ◦ Temporary whitening of the skin immediately after treatment (this usually fades within a few minutes)
    ◦ Mild tenderness for up to 48 hours.
    ◦ temporary frosting of the eyebrow hairs.
    ◦ These reactions are a normal part of the healing process and should improve over the next few days.

    For the First 24–48 Hours
    ◦ Keep the treated area clean and dry.
    ◦ Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching your eyebrows.
    ◦ Apply a cool compress if needed to reduce swelling. Do not place ice directly onto the skin.
    ◦ Avoid makeup, fake tan, perfumed skincare products, and harsh cleansers on the treated area until they appear healed.
    ◦ Avoid excessive heat, including hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and vigorous exercise that causes heavy sweating.

    Cleansing
    • Cleanse the area gently using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Pat dry with a clean towel—do not rub the skin.

    Moisturising
    • Aloe Vera gel can be used to sooth and moisturise the area, apply a thin layer a few times a day. Avoid using products containing active ingredients until the skin has fully healed.

    Sun Protection
    • Sun protection is essential throughout your treatment course.
    ◦ Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks while the skin is healing.
    ◦ Once healed, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day.
    ◦ Wear a hat or sunglasses when spending extended periods outdoors.
    ◦ Sun exposure can increase the risk of pigmentation changes and may affect your treatment results.

    Do not:
    ◦ Pick, peel, or scratch any flaking skin or scabs.
    ◦ Use exfoliants, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or other active skincare products on the area.
    ◦ Have chemical peels or other facial treatments over the treated area.
    ◦ Wax, thread, tint, or undergo further cosmetic eyebrow treatments until the area appears completely healed.
    ◦ Swim in pools, hot tubs, or open water if the skin is broken.

    Healing & Results
    • Healing usually takes around 7–14 days, although this varies between individuals.
    • The tattoo pigment will continue to fade over the following 6–8 weeks as your body's lymphatic system naturally clears the shattered ink particles. It is important to understand that tattoo removal is a gradual process, and several sessions are usually required to achieve your desired result.

    Between Treatments
    ◦ Leave at least 6–8 weeks between laser sessions, or as advised by your practitioner.
    ◦ Stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your immune system.
    ◦ Follow the recommended aftercare after every treatment.


    Seek medical advice if any of these symptoms occur:
    ◦ Increasing redness, swelling, or pain after the first 48 hours.
    ◦ Pus, unusual discharge, or a foul smell.
    ◦ A fever or feeling generally unwell.
    ◦ Any blistering, prolonged discomfort, or symptoms that concern you.
    Important Information
    Results vary depending on factors such as the type of pigment, the depth of the tattoo, its age, your skin type, and your body's natural healing response.
    Following your aftercare instructions carefully will help support safe healing and the best possible outcome from your laser tattoo removal treatments
