Prior to your appointment: Pre-Care Considerations

How do I prepare for my upcoming appointment?

Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol preferably for one week prior to your appointment but no less than within 72 hours of your scheduled appointment time. These aforementioned act as blood thinners and will cause excessive bleeding. Excessive bleeding will result in results that can be unpredictable.

Avoid plucking or waxing your brows within 72 hours of your scheduled appointment. You may however get your brows threaded within that timeframe.

Avoid exfoliators 72 hours before services. Ex. Skincare products that contains glycolic acid, Retin A, Renova, and alpha hydroxyl acids.

Avoid botox injections as this may result in an uneven brow shape when the injection wears. You may resume injections after you have completed services.

Will semi-permanent makeup services be painful?

A local anesthetic is applied during the service. On a scale from 1-10, most clients rate the service a 3 and deem the procedure tolerable. Please know that Divine Radiance Studio is 100% committed to ensuring your comfort during the appointment. Headphones and books are recommended as a distraction and may be brought to your appointment. We do numb clients half-way through our services and clients most often do not feel any sensation after numbing.

After your appointment: After-Care Considerations

What to expect following the procedure?


Do not apply any creams, ointments, or get the brows wet for the duration of the healing period. See below for specifics regarding what you may expect.


Day 1

You may experience redness however this will subside within a few hours. DO NOT expect your brow tattoo to heal perfectly after the first session. This is a 2 step process. It takes time. BE PATIENT during your 10 day healing process your brows will change and appear different from day to day.


Day 2

The pigment in the brow area will appear darker than the initial color of the first day. This is due to oxidation of the pigment and is a normal occurrence. Day 3 The skin in the brow area will begin to scab.


Day 4-8

The skin in the brow area will continue to scab and eventually shed. It is of utmost importance that you do not pick the scabbing prematurely. This could cause pigment to lift prematurely and/or cause scarring to the service area.


Day 9+

The crust should have completely shed and the pigment behind may look very faint. DO NOT WORRY!! The color will return gradually in the days to come. When the flaking sheds, the hair strokes may seem faint as a fresh layer of skin has healed over the brow tattoo. Give your brows a few weeks and the hair strokes will become clearer.


Day 10-14

Your brows are healed externally! You may resume washing and makeup in the brow area. As a precaution, you should never chemical peel and/or exfoliate directly over the brows, however your normal skin routine may resume.


Post Day 14

*Your brow tattoo will take up to 4 weeks (28 days) to exfoliate and up to 6 weeks before they fully heal underneath the skin. Color will continue to change on a daily basis until all healing is complete.

*You may experience itchiness in the brows after the 10 days for up to 2 months due to the healing process of the dermal layer.
