Aftercare
ÊvoBrows
Day 1 - Essential Aftercare
Because our brow work is performed with an emphasis on minimal trauma, most clients experience a calm healing process with little visible disruption. Healing varies by individual, but dramatic flaking or extended downtime is not typical with our approach.
The following guidance is designed to support calm healing and protect the work during the initial recovery period.
Immediate Care:
For the first few minutes after your treatment, gently blot the brow area with the gauze provided in your aftercare kit. This helps keep the area clean and supports even healing in the early stage.
Start Cleansing (Within 1-2 Hours):
Using the cleansing solution from your aftercare kit, apply a drop onto clean fingertips. Gently swipe along the direction of hair growth to remove build-up, then rinse with water. Follow up by applying the soothing balm provided. Ensure your hands are clean before touching the area.
Next 7 Days – Gentle Care Is Key
Treat your brows with the utmost care as they heal. Here’s your guide to the perfect healing routine:
Daily Routine (Morning & Night):
- Cleanse your brows as you did on Day 1 with the cleansing solution and rinse with water.
- Apply the balm or lotion from your aftercare kit.
What to Avoid:
To protect the integrity of your brows during healing:
• Avoid prolonged moisture exposure outside of cleansing.
• Avoid applying makeup directly to the brow area.
• Allow the brows to heal undisturbed; avoid touching, picking, or scratching.
• Avoid excessive heat, sweating, pools, saunas, and similar environments.
• Avoid facial treatments, exfoliants, or active skincare ingredients near the brow area until healing is complete.
Sun Protection:
- Limit direct sun exposure during the initial healing phase.
- After 2 weeks, apply sunscreen to protect your brows and prevent premature fading.
These guidelines are part of the overall care process and are designed to support healthy healing and long-term results. If you have questions during healing, our team is available to guide you.
ÊvoLips
The following guidance is designed to support calm healing and protect the lip area during the initial recovery period.
Day 1
- For the first several minutes after treatment, gently blot your lips with the pads included in your aftercare kit.
- A cool compress may be used to help ease initial swelling or tenderness if needed.
- Within the first hour after treatment, apply a small amount of the cleansing solution from your aftercare kit using clean fingers, then gently cleanse the area.
This routine is typically followed morning and evening for 5 days, during the initial healing period.
Days 1–5
- Keep the lips comfortably moisturized using the products provided.
Days 6–10
To protect the integrity of your results during healing, be mindful of the following:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, including steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzis, or hot showers.
• Avoid applying makeup directly to the lips during healing.
• Allow the lips to heal naturally; avoid picking at flakes or scabs if they appear.
• Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating around the mouth area.
• Using a straw may help minimize contact with the lips during the healing period.
Once healing is complete, no sooner than 2 weeks post-treatment, applying sunscreen can help protect the lip area from premature fading.
These guidelines are designed to support healthy healing and long-term results. If you have questions during the healing process, our team is available to guide you.
Healing Stages
ÊvoBrows
Day 1-4
Your brows will appear dark and bold—this is completely normal as part of the healing process.
Day 5-10
This is the "vanishing stage." You may notice flaking and peeling, and the pigment might seem to completely disappear—don’t worry, this is part of the natural healing.
Day 14-28
The pigment will slowly return and settle into its final color. By this point, your brows will be ready for evaluation to see if a second session is needed.
Remember, the healing process is unique to everyone. Trust the process, and take comfort in knowing your amazing, crafted results are on their way! If you have questions, we’re here to help every step of the way.
ÊvoLips
Your lip blush transformation is a beautiful process, and each stage is essential to achieving your perfect look. Here's a simplified guide to help you understand the healing process day by day:
Day 1-2
Your lips will appear bold, dark, and slightly swollen—this is completely natural. Think of it as your lips making their grand entrance!
Day 3-5
The swelling will begin to subside, but your lips will still look vibrant and intense. During these days, they’ll begin to flake and peel. This is the “vanishing stage,” where the color might look like it’s fading away. Don’t worry—this is just part of the magic.
Day 20-30
Patience pays off. The color will gradually return with a softer, more natural finish as your lips fully heal. If needed, this is the perfect time to schedule your touch-up session to refine the look.
Your lip blush is a work of art in progress—embrace each stage of your healing with care and confidence. For the best results, make sure to follow any aftercare tips provided during your appointment.
