Understanding Brow Shock: The Waiting Game

So, you’ve just had your brows tattooed, and they’re looking sharp, precise, and maybe a tad darker than expected. Don’t panic – you’ve just stepped into the realm of brow shock. This temporary state occurs as the pigment settles, and your skin goes through the natural healing process.

The Art of Patience: 6 Things to Understand about Brow Shock

Things our grandmothers say: “Patience is a virtue.” “Don’t take yourself so seriously.”  “Be kind to yourself.” “Get your feet off my furniture.” Well, grandmothers know best, and unless you were “raised in a barn” a bit of patience should come naturally.

1.Healing Takes Time:

Much like any artistic masterpiece, your new brows need time to settle and evolve. The healing process can take a full 4 weeks to be completely healed, but they look really great after about a week. During this time, your brows might seem darker or more intense than the final result and you’ll have a bit of flaking. Trust the process – good things come to those who wait!

2. Post-Treatment TLC:

Imagine your brows as delicate watercolor paintings. To preserve their vibrancy, treat them with care. Avoid picking, scratching, or exposing them to excessive moisture during the initial healing period. Your artist will provide you with aftercare instructions – follow them diligently for the best results.

3. Say No to Panic Tweezing:

When brow shock hits, the urge to grab your tweezers and “fix” things may be overwhelming. Resist! Tweezing during the healing process can disrupt the pigment settling and result in uneven brows. Give your new arches the time they need to blossom naturally.

4. Don’t ‘Panic Wash’:

Don’t freak out and whatever you do, don’t try to scrub them away. DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo has been provided fabulous brows for almost a decade, so we are well versed in brow shock.
