Approximate Daily Healing Schedule
What to avoid during the healing process:
1-2 Days Your brows are approximately 20-40% darker, bolder, and more solid than your healed result. Under the pigment the skin is red and pigment has been deposited into the layer of skin containing dead skin cells; combined giving the appearance of darker color. There may be minimal swelling but because typically the eyebrow area does not retain much fluid, swelling will be limited. The top layers of the skin will begin to shed on about 5-7 days, and you will see loss of color. This is normal. Do not scratch/pick!
3-4 Days Your eyebrows may begin to itch and the pigment may appear somewhat raised or lifted. Do not scratch/pick!
5-7 Days The skin is now rapidly exfoliating and will shed evenly if left alone. The color under the exfoliating skin will start to appear very light and day by day it will start to appear darker. Please be patient and give the color a couple of weeks to develop back.
30-40 Days Now is the time to critique your brows, the tattoo has now become parts of the dermis, seen under the epidermis.
