Feather Nano and Ombre Powder Pre-Procedure Instructions
​
Following these instructions prior to your procedure will help ensure a more relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.
-
Do not consume aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, caffeine, and/or nicotine for at least 24 hours before your procedure. Consumption of these items can cause excessive bleeding and interrupt your skin’s healing process. These items are stimulants and will heighten your sensitivity during the procedure. Use before appointment at your own risk.
-
Exfoliate with a facial scrub/wash & Moisturize your skin for 1 week prior to your appointment to prep your skin for the procedure.
-
Please eat something 20 - 30 minutes prior to your appointment. The appointment will take roughly 3 hours. Do not plan anything too closely after your appointment so that we are not rushed.
-
If you bruise easily, we recommend taking Arnica before and after your procedure. Arnica is available at most health food stores.
-
Please notify me if you are currently taking antibiotics. If you are required to take antibiotics, please follow your doctor's orders and complete dosage prior to booking an appointment.
-
If you are on blood thinners, check with your doctor to make sure you can go 24 hours without them. It is not advised to be on blood thinners for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. You make take them right after the procedure is finished.
-
Avoid tanning and tanning beds 2 weeks prior to the procedure.
-
Please avoid any products containing Retin-A for 2 weeks prior to the procedure. Retin A severly thins the skin and can cause excessive bleeding and interupt your skin’s healing process.
-
You may request a patch test 2 weeks before the procedure. We are required by the color manufacturer to offer that to you, but it is not needed. A patch test does not ensure that you will not develop a reaction later on.

Feather Nano and Ombre Powder After Care Instructions
​
During the healing process it is very normal to experience tenderness and slight redness. Due to the use of an anesthetic to ease the discomfort, a white halo may appear around the treated area and will disappear in an hour or so after the appointment. If you see some dark pieces of pigment, do not be alarmed as this is the process of exfoliation and is totally normal. It is best to let the healing process happen naturally for the best end result.
First Day Care
​
Once you get home, clean your brows by using a damp cotton pad with drinking water (no sink water) and gently dab your brows clean, then use a clean towel/tissue to dab it dry. Wait until you go to bed to apply a thin layer of the after care cream (pink container). Make sure to clean your brows each time before applying. You do not want to trap dirt, oil, dust, or germs.
**To prevent your brows from getting wet, apply a thick layer of the A&D ointment to the treated area when washing your hair or shower. Gently wipe off the ointment with a cotton pad or Qtips. If your brow gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.
Daily Care to Follow
​
-
For dry/normal skin, clean the brows each time before applying a thin layer of the aftercare cream, twice a day, throughout the healing process until brows are almost done peeling. Your goal is to keep the treated area moist to help with healing/peeling and infections.
​
-
If you have oily/combo skin, ointment may not be needed if your natural oil keeps your brows moist. Can be used if you experience dryness and itchiness. Still keep your brows clean by gently dabbing the brows clean daily.
​
-
Wash your hands before applying the ointment. Use a clean Q-tip on each side to prevent cross contamination. If you experience excessive itching, swelling or any blistering please stop the usage of the ointment and contact your technician immediately.
​
-
Do not cleanse directly on the brows during the first week. Do not splash water on your brows, wash around it. It is recommended that you use a gentle facial cleanser to cleanse your skin. Preferably one that doesn't contain AHA, glycolic, lactic acids, or Retin-A products as they will fade the pigmentation.
​
-
If your brows get wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue or towel.
​
-
Keep your hair away from your brows to prevent the possibility of infection.
​
-
Please allow for the brows to naturally flake. It is also normal to experience itching. DO NOT PEEL, PICK, or RUB the brows as this will make it heal uneven and may cause infection.
​
-
Don't undergo any skincare beauty treatments for at least 2 weeks after the brow procedure.
​
-
No make-up should be applied close to your brows during this time. Please also avoid any products that contain Aloe Vera or Vitamin E at this time.
​
-
Avoid excessive sweating (gym, outdoor sports/activities etc.)
​
Avoid for 2 weeks
​
-
Please avoid having direct sunlight on your brows. No tanning treatments, Jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorine water or recreational bodies of water.
​
-
Do not tint, wax, or do peels, electrolysis, or laser hair removal treatments around the treated area.
Long-term Care
​
-
The sun can damage and fade your treated area so take care of your brows by investing in a good sunscreen or moisturizer with a healthy dose of at least SPF15.
​
-
If you are thinking of having a chemical peel, laser procedure, or an MRI scan inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.
​
-
If you decide to donate blood within a year after your treatment notify the national blood service before as this can affect your ability to donate.
​
Important notes
​
-
It is normal to experience “color loss” during the peeling stage. Allow your brows to stabilize; the color will resurface around week 3-4 and allow your brows to fully heal for 4 weeks to see the final result.
​
-
After the initial 14 days, the color you have chosen will fade and begin to appear more natural.
​
-
Typically, healing should take up to about 7-14 days, though this can vary case by case due to the fact that some may take longer due to stress, a poor diet, or their immune system is compromised.
​
-
Uneven color after the initial treatment is to be expected. In order to ensure the best outcome, we recommend a second session (touchup between 6-8 weeks only) to complete the desired result. Please plan accordingly and schedule ahead. Also, be mindful of the technician’s time and notify 3 days in advanced if you need to reschedule to a later date.
​
How well you follow the aftercare instructions and maintain your eyebrows on a daily basis will determine
the longevity of your tattoo. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding the healing process, please do not hesitate to contact me.
