AFTERCARE

PRE/POST CARE

Sugaring

BEFORE & AFTER BODY SUGARING

Pre Care:

  • Wash the area with warm soap and water to clean the area well and open up the pores for easier hair removal (mandatory)

  • Avoid using body creams, lotions, or deodorants before the treatment, as they can hinder sugar adhesion.

  • Avoid vigorous activities and excessive sun exposure before sugaring.

  • Do not sugar over broken or sunburned skin.

  • Choose to book when not on your period cycle to avoid sensitivity

  • Do not exfoliate within 4 days prior to your appointment

 

 

Post Care: 24-hour rule is applicable to the following statements

  • You may experience slight redness or small bumps after treatment, this will dissipate after 24 hours

  • Avoid using body creams, lotions, or deodorants after the treatment, unless specifically designed lotions for after sugaring (arms/legs)

  • No vigorous workout, sex, as sweat and moisture can harbour bacteria in the open follicle

  • Avoid suntanning post treatment 

  • Avoid lake water, hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, any activity increasing heat, moisture, and friction in the areas

  • Wear loose cotton underwear and less restrictive clothing to avoid friction

PMU Brows

Pre Care:

  • Do not be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol for the last 24 hours, including pain medications like Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin

  • Come with cleansed, dry, makeup free brows. Makeup on the face is okay, just not on the brow area

  • Eat and drink water before your appointment as it can take anywhere from 2-4 hours. You will have about 15 minutes during the numbing period to text, eat or drink water

  • Shower and wash your face/hair beforehand as you will not be able to get your brows wet for the first 24-48 hours

  • Bring a sweater or light blanket to cover yourself as I cannot provide one for you due to hygienic reasons 


Post Care:

Healing is 7-14 days. Following proper aftercare is crucial.

Please note the true colour/shape of your tattooed brows can only be determined AFTER it has fully healed. After the healing period your brows, pigment may not have stayed in some areas, and your brows may look uneven, however, you need to come for your touch up at 6 weeks to address this. Healed = brows have fully peeled off, pigment may 

 

After your procedure, do not get your brows wet for the first 24-48 hours (no washing brows, saunas/steam rooms). Do not put makeup or products on the brow area, no vigorous activities (sweating) until they fully peel and heal. Avoid touching, rubbing (except with your cleansing pads), or picking your brows.

 

Day of your appointment (Day 1):

Brows will be swollen and dark from the procedure, the skin area may be red, and this can last for 24-48 hours. White liquid (plasma) may ooze out of your brows shortly after you leave.

An hour after:

You can wipe your brows gently with the cleansing pads provided to you, do not worry if some fluids/pigment wipe away.
Before bed:
Cleanse your brows with the cleansing pads before bed. Always wash your hands and squeeze out the cleansing pads before wiping the brow area. 
 

Day after your appointment (Day 2):

Cleanse your brows with pads morning and night daily from this point on until the brows are fully healed. If you are oilier or sweat, use a cleansing pad midday. The brows will still dark and quite bold today. This is normal! If the swelling lasts more than a couple days you can take antihistamine. After the 24 hour mark, you can get your brows wet. 
If the procedure area (not the brow area) feels dry, flakey, irritated, apply moisturizer, Polysporin, or Cicaplast around the brow area. 
 

Day 3-5:

Your brows will start to scab, flake, and the pigment may seem disappear under the scabs. Do not pick at the stabs off and let them fall off naturally! Your brows may feel dry, but is a good indicator they are healing.

​

Day 5-7:

Once the brows have flaked off entirely, the pigment will also may have disappeared. As we go through the 14-21 skin cycle the pigment will gradually appear in 2-3 weeks. You can go back to your regular skin care routine, make up, workouts, only past the 7th day if your brows are healed AND your brows have flaked off entirely.

 

As the tattoo comes back you may notice pigment has not stayed in some areas/hair stokes are not dark enough, these are things we can enhance at your initial touch up. It is better to go lighter and warmer for your first session to see how the skin heals, and adjust as needed at the touch up.

 

Your healed PMU brows (Day 7+):

Continue regular brow cleansing with your skin care, apply makeup on the brows as usual. Continue regular work outs. Apply sunscreen to area for days of long sun exposure. Harsh products like retinols, glycolic acid, exfoliating products, AHA/BHA, can prematurely fade the brows. Botox, tanning, and facials can be done 2 weeks before or after the PMU service.
