Do not touch eyebrows with dirty hands. Brows might appear reddish, this is completely normal. Scabbing begins around day 3-5. Let scabs fall off naturally, DO NOT pick scabs. It will be normal for scabs to flake off when applying ointment. Avoid exercising and getting the brows wet in the shower.

DAY 4-14

DON'T TOUCH, ALMOST DONE!

Stop washing brows and let any remaining scabs fall off naturally.

Once the scabbing is completely gone you may return to normal face washing routine, makeup wearing, exercise, and sun exposure.  By day 14 resume all regular routine.

As scabs flake off, there will be very light to no pigment visible. That is completely normal and part of the next phase of healing.
