Thank you for choosing Perfact Brow! Proper care of the treated area in the coming weeks makes a big difference to how your scalp micropigmentation heals and looks. Please follow these instructions closely.
Do & Don't
✓ Do
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24–48 hours.
- After 48 hours, gently wash twice a day with a mild, unscented cleanser and water.
- Apply the aftercare cream or ointment your permanent makeup technician provides, as directed, to keep the area moisturized.
- Let scabs fall off on their own.
- Wear a hat to protect your scalp from the sun.
- Attend your touch-up appointment 4–6 weeks after treatment.
✗ Don't
- Get the area wet in the first 24–48 hours (swimming, sweating, or washing your scalp with water).
- Pick, scratch or peel. It can cause scarring or infection.
