Powder Brow Healing: Do’s and Don’ts

At Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup, we prioritize your comfort and optimal healing experience after your powder brow treatment. Here are some essential aftercare guidelines specifically tailored to ensure you achieve the best results from your permanent makeup treatment:

Cleanliness and Gentle Care

Keeping your brow area clean is crucial. Gently cleanse the treated brows daily using a mild, gentle cleanser recommended by our providers. Always softly pat the area dry—avoid rubbing or harshly wiping, as this could disrupt the healing process or pigment placement.

Proper Moisturizing

Apply a thin layer of the specialized ointment or cream provided by Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup. This helps prevent dryness, minimizes scabbing, soothes irritation, and promotes faster healing. Avoid applying excessive amounts, as heavy application may delay healing and affect pigment retention.

Protecting from Sun Exposure

Sun exposure can slow down the healing process and negatively impact the permanence and vibrancy of your new powder brows. We recommend protecting your brows from direct sunlight by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses during outdoor activities. Once fully healed, using sunscreen specifically formulated for facial skin can further protect pigment integrity.

Physical Activity and Sweating

During the initial healing period, it is essential to limit strenuous physical activities or heavy workouts that cause excessive sweating. Excess sweat can irritate the freshly treated area and potentially hinder pigment retention and healing quality.

To help maintain optimal color retention and clarity following your permanent makeup procedure at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup, please follow these important aftercare guidelines:

First, avoid direct sunlight exposure or tanning beds on the treated areas during the healing period. UV rays can significantly fade your pigment and compromise the outcome of your permanent makeup.

Refrain from submerging the treated area in water, such as swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, or oceans. Prolonged moisture exposure can cause pigment loss and negatively affect the healed results.

It is essential not to pick, scratch, or peel any scabs or flaky skin that may form after your treatment. Allowing the skin to heal naturally will ensure better color retention and a more vibrant, clear appearance.

Avoid wearing tight or restrictive clothing or accessories that may cause friction or irritation to the healing area. Gentle handling and minimal irritation can greatly improve your permanent makeup results.

Additionally, only apply ointments, creams, or products specifically recommended by your permanent makeup artist at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup. Using other products, such as heavily scented lotions or petroleum-based ointments, may adversely affect pigment retention and healing.

After your powder brow treatment at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup, it’s essential to carefully consider the skincare products and ingredients you use during your healing process. Certain active ingredients commonly found in skincare routines may irritate sensitive skin or negatively impact pigment retention, affecting your final results.

To protect your powder brows, we recommend avoiding skincare ingredients like retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and other alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) until your brows have completely healed. These exfoliating agents can accelerate pigment fading or cause unwanted irritation, redness, and sensitivity.

Additionally, refrain from using skincare products containing fragrances, essential oils, alcohol-based toners, or aggressive synthetic chemicals, as these may also irritate your healing skin. Instead, we suggest opting for mild, fragrance-free cleansers and gentle moisturizers, specifically recommended by our provider.

Properly moisturizing your powder brows is essential for optimal healing, comfort, and achieving the best cosmetic results at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup. Our specialized aftercare guidelines are designed to protect your investment and ensure your newly enhanced brows heal beautifully.

After your procedure, it’s important to handle your brows gently to avoid irritation and allow the pigment to settle evenly into your skin. Always begin by thoroughly washing your hands before touching the treated area. We recommend using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or ointment specifically approved by your artist at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup. Avoid products containing harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol, as these ingredients can irritate your sensitive skin and negatively impact your results.

Apply a very thin layer of the recommended moisturizer to your brows using clean fingertips or a cotton swab. Excessive application can clog pores and disrupt the healing process, so ensure the layer is thin and evenly spread. Gently dab or pat the moisturizer onto your brows rather than rubbing or wiping, as friction may irritate your skin and disrupt pigment retention.

During the healing period, it’s important to avoid direct sunlight, swimming pools, saunas, and strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating. These factors can lead to irritation and dryness and negatively affect healing results. Keep your showers brief and lukewarm, avoiding prolonged exposure of your brows to water or heat.

If you experience any signs of irritation, excessive redness, swelling, or unusual discomfort, please promptly contact our provider for further guidance. Following these expert guidelines tailored specifically for your care will ensure your powder brows heal comfortably, effectively, and beautifully, providing you with lasting, natural-looking results.

Avoiding scratching or picking at powder brow scabs is essential for achieving optimal healing and beautiful, lasting results at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup. During your permanent makeup procedure, tiny superficial openings are created in the skin, prompting your body’s natural healing response—forming protective scabs as part of this process. Disturbing these scabs prematurely can lead to unwanted complications.

Picking or scratching at the scabs can lift pigment from beneath the skin, resulting in uneven coloration, patchiness, or lighter spots in your healed brows. Additionally, this practice increases the risk of infection, as prematurely removing scabs exposes vulnerable skin to bacteria. Infections prolong healing, cause discomfort, and can adversely affect the final appearance of your brows.

Allowing these scabs to shed naturally ensures the pigment settles evenly, promoting smooth, uniform, and beautifully defined brows once the healing process is complete. For the best cosmetic outcomes, it’s imperative to resist touching or picking at the treated area, maintain proper cleanliness, and closely follow the customized aftercare instructions provided by your artist at Jaudon Sunde Permanent Makeup.
