What you can expect after your treatment?
Dark eyebrows
You might not like your brows immediately after the procedure because the pigment may appear darker than expected due to he skin’s natural reaction to the pigment. But as the skin begins to heals, the pigment often lightens to its final colour which can take a few weeks to see the results (depends on individuals healing process).
Redness & swelling
You may experience some mild redness and swelling in the area is usually most noticeable immediately after the procedure and can last from a few hours to a couple of days.
You can apply cool pads and this will help to soothe the skin and reduce inflammation.
Tenderness & sensitivity
Due to the minor trauma caused to your skin during pigment implantation, the sensation is usually mild and this should go over a few days as the skin begins to heal.
