Powder Brow Aftercare

Instructions from Rachael Reed, RN, BSN. Follow these guidelines carefully for optimal healing.

Days 1–7

  • Keep the brow area clean and dry for the first 24 hours unless instructed otherwise.
  • Apply aftercare product as directed — a thin layer, 2–3 times daily.
  • Do not pick, peel, scratch, or rub the treated area.
  • Avoid sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming.
  • No makeup on or around the brows until fully healed.
  • Sleep on your back when possible to avoid friction.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds.

Days 8–14

  • Flaking should complete naturally — continue hands-off healing.
  • Brows may appear lighter or patchy — this is normal.
  • Continue avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, and acids near the brow area.
  • Apply SPF 30+ when outdoors once the skin has closed.

Weeks 3–6

  • True color begins to resurface as healing completes.
  • Schedule your perfecting touch-up at 6–8 weeks post-procedure.
  • Contact Rachael Reed if you have concerns before your touch-up.
