For the first couple of days, brows will appear dark and very defined before the scabbing phase. The thickness will subside gradually as the days go by.
You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is quite normal and will subside within 12 hours. If you find any lymphatic fluid or blood weeping you can gently clean the area with cool boiled water and gauze, blotting gently dry to remove any moisture.
Redness, swelling, and stinging is normal and should subside by the following day completely. If the area feels unbearable for certain individuals who have low pain tolerance, please use a clean ice pack for comfort.
You will go through three healing phases: 1-heal, 2-peel and 3-fade.
Once the brow area starts to peel, it will appear flaky and unappealing. The area may feel a bit dry. Do not pick or pull at the treated area as it will result in pigment loss.
Once all scabs have fully fallen off completely and naturally, healed results should appear 10-30% lighter in color and 10-15% smaller in size from the initial. Consider using a waterproof total sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color fading.
I am having powder brows on myself and the aftercare I follow was :
Day 1 :wash the eyebrows with neutral soap and cotton pad by pressing gently the skin with the pad 30 min after the treatment, then every 2 hours to wash until I go to bed and put a cream only in the evening
Day 2 and 3 :wash the eyebrows 2 times per day only with water and cotton pad by tamponate movements and pressing gently, not rubbing and apply a cream.
From day 4 and up the brows they start to pill, so just wash with water 2 times per day and apply a cream, not to clean with pad anymore. My eyebrows heal good
