Getting nano brows is an exciting journey, but understanding the day-by-day healing process is crucial for achieving the best results. At DuPont Lash and Brow Studio, we want to ensure you know what to expect each day after your procedure. Here’s a detailed guide on what happens during the healing process of nano brows and how to care for them to ensure a beautiful outcome.
Day 1: The Procedure Day
What to Expect: Right after your nano brows procedure, your brows will look very bold and dark. This is because the pigment is fresh, and there might be some redness and swelling around the area. Don’t worry—this is completely normal.
Care Tips:
- Keep your brows dry.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the area.
- Apply the healing ointment provided by your technician.
Day 2-3: Initial Healing
What to Expect: The boldness of your brows will start to subside slightly. The skin might still be a bit red and tender, and you may notice some mild swelling.
Care Tips:
- Continue to keep your brows dry.
- Avoid sweating and activities that cause heavy sweating.
- Gently apply the healing ointment as directed.
Day 4-7: Scabbing and Flaking
What to Expect: This is the most challenging part of the healing process. Your brows will begin to scab and flake as the skin heals. It might be tempting, but do not pick at the scabs. The color may look uneven and patchy during this time.
Care Tips:
- Let the scabs fall off naturally.
- Avoid water, makeup, and skincare products on your brows.
- Pat your face dry carefully after washing, avoiding the brow area.
Day 8-14: Lightening and Itching
What to Expect: Your brows will start to lighten as the scabs fall off. You might experience some itching, which is a sign that your skin is healing. The color will appear softer and more natural.
Care Tips:
- Resist the urge to scratch; gently tap around the area if needed.
- Continue avoiding water and makeup on the brows.
- Apply a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment if needed.
Day 15-21: Color Settling
What to Expect: By now, most of the scabs should be gone, and your brows will start to settle into their more permanent color. They may still appear lighter than expected, but the pigment will continue to develop.
Care Tips:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and protect your brows with a hat or sunscreen.
- Gently cleanse your face, avoiding the brow area.
- Keep your skin moisturized.
Day 22-30: Final Healing Stages
What to Expect: Your brows are almost fully healed. The color should look more even and settled. Any remaining redness should have subsided, and your brows will look more natural and defined.
Care Tips:
- Continue to avoid harsh skincare products around your brows.
- Protect your brows from the sun.
- Follow any additional aftercare advice from your technician.
Long-Term Care
After the initial healing process, maintaining your nano brows involves some simple steps to keep them looking their best:
- Regular Touch-Ups: Schedule touch-ups every 12 to 18 months to keep your brows fresh and defined.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers around your brow area.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of products with strong chemicals or exfoliants near your brows.
- Sun Protection: Always protect your brows from UV rays with sunscreen or a hat.
