PrecarePre-Care & Aftercare for Ombre Brows: Everything You Need to Know.
Proper preparation and aftercare are crucial for achieving beautiful, long-lasting Ombre Brows. Follow these guidelines to ensure your brows heal flawlessly and maintain their stunning shape and color.
Pre-Care Instructions: Preparing for Your Ombre Brow Appointment
To ensure the best results, please follow these pre-care tips:
Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, and ibuprofen for 48 hours before your appointment, as they can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.
Skip Facial Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, Botox, or microdermabrasion for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
Limit Sun Exposure: No tanning or sunbathing for 1 week prior—sunburned skin cannot be treated.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin hydrated for the best results.
No Brow Makeup: Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows.
Discontinue Retinol & Acne Medications: Stop using Retinol or acne medications at least 1 week before your appointment, as they can thin the skin.
Aftercare Instructions: How to Care for Your New Ombre Brows
Following these aftercare steps is vital for proper healing and pigment retention:
Keep Brows Dry: Avoid water, sweat, and steam for the first 7–10 days. This includes showers, saunas, and workouts.
Apply Healing Ointment: Use a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment, as advised by your artist.
Avoid Touching or Picking: Do not pick or scratch the area, even if it itches—this can cause scarring and pigment loss.
No Makeup on Brows: Refrain from applying makeup, creams, or skincare products on your brows for 2 weeks.
Limit Sun Exposure: Once healed, apply SPF to protect the pigment and prevent fading. Avoid direct sun and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks.
Avoid Facials and Chemical Treatments: Steer clear of facials, peels, or Botox for 4 weeks after the procedure.
No Swimming: Avoid swimming in pools, oceans, or hot tubs for 2 weeks.
Healing Timeline: What to Expect
Days 1–3: Brows appear dark and bold.
Days 4–7: Mild flaking and itching may occur—do not pick!
Days 7–14: Brows lighten and may look patchy as they heal.
Days 14–28: Color starts to settle and even out.
6–8 Weeks: Schedule your touch-up appointment for perfecting any areas.
