Your brows will look dark, bold, and more intense immediately after the procedure — this is completely normal. The pigment will fade by 30–50% as your skin heals over the following 4–6 weeks, revealing the true, natural colour underneath. Do not judge the result until fully healed.
✅ DO
- Gently blot (not wipe) any lymph fluid in the first few hours using a clean cotton pad
- Apply the provided aftercare ointment with a clean cotton swab — a very thin layer, twice daily for the first 7 days
- Keep the area clean and completely dry for the first 10 days
- Sleep on a clean pillowcase — change it daily if possible
- Let any flaking or peeling happen naturally — the colour underneath will look lighter, this is normal
- Apply SPF 50 sunscreen to healed brows daily when outdoors (from week 3 onwards)
- Wear a hat or visor outdoors during healing
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT wet the brow area for 10 days — no swimming, saunas, steam rooms, or long showers
- Do NOT pick, scratch, rub, or peel the treated area under any circumstances
- Do NOT apply makeup, skincare, or sunscreen directly on brows until fully healed
- Do NOT use retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or chemical exfoliants near the brow area (ongoing)
- Do NOT do intense exercise or activities that cause heavy sweating for 10–14 days
- Do NOT have facials, peels, laser, or microneedling near the brow area until fully healed
- Do NOT expose healed brows to direct sun without SPF — UV fades pigment quickly
📅 Healing Timeline
Days 1–3
Brows appear very dark, bold, and slightly swollen. Redness around the area is normal. Apply ointment twice daily. Keep completely dry.
Days 4–7
Light flaking and peeling begins. Colour may look uneven or patchy — this is part of the process. Do NOT pick. Continue thin ointment application.
Days 7–14
A milky or cloudy layer forms over the brows — colour appears to vanish or look very faint. This is completely normal and temporary. Stop ointment after day 10.
Weeks 3–5
True healed colour gradually emerges. Brows look softer, more natural, and beautifully defined. You can begin light moisturiser near the area.
Week 6 ✓
Fully healed. Book your FREE touch-up appointment to perfect any areas that need a refresh and lock in your final result.
💡
Pro tip: Take a photo of your brows on Day 1 and again at Week 6. The transformation is always remarkable and it's a great way to track the healing journey without stress.
The eye area is naturally sensitive and some swelling is expected — especially on Day 1. The liner will look very dark and defined immediately after the procedure, then soften significantly as healing progresses. Avoid planning important events or photo sessions within the first 5 days.
✅ DO
- Apply a very thin layer of aftercare ointment along the liner with a clean cotton swab — twice daily for 5–7 days
- Use a cold compress (not ice directly on skin) to reduce swelling in the first 24 hours
- Sleep slightly elevated with an extra pillow on Day 1 to reduce overnight swelling
- Keep the eye area clean and completely dry for the first 7 days
- Wear sunglasses outdoors to protect from UV, wind, and dust
- Let any light crusting fall away naturally on its own
- Clean around (not on) the area with a gentle saline solution from Day 5 onwards
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT wear contact lenses for 48–72 hours after treatment
- Do NOT wear any eye makeup (mascara, eyeshadow, liner) for at least 7–10 days
- Do NOT rub, touch, or scratch the eye area with unwashed hands
- Do NOT use oil-based makeup removers or cleansers near the eye area during healing
- Do NOT swim, use saunas, spas, or steam rooms for 10 days
- Do NOT apply lash serums or growth serums during the healing period
- Do NOT apply lash extensions until fully healed at 4–6 weeks
- Do NOT use eye drops unless medically necessary — consult with Tee first
📅 Healing Timeline
Day 1
Liner looks very dark and intense. Eyes may be puffy and red — expected. Use cold compress for comfort. Remove contact lenses. Apply ointment.
Days 2–4
Swelling reduces considerably. Light crusting may form along the liner — do not pick or pull. Keep completely dry. Continue ointment twice daily.
Days 5–7
Crusting naturally falls away. Liner begins to soften noticeably in colour. You can gently clean the surrounding area with saline solution.
Weeks 2–4
Colour continues to settle and soften into the skin. Resume normal skincare routine while avoiding retinols and exfoliants near the eye area.
Week 6 ✓
Fully healed. Book your FREE touch-up to assess colour retention, refine the line, and perfect the final result.
⚠️
Contact lens wearers: Please bring your glasses to the appointment. Do not insert contact lenses for at least 48–72 hours after the procedure. If your eyes feel unusually sore, red, or irritated beyond normal healing, contact us or see your optometrist.
Lip tattooing requires the most attentive aftercare of all cosmetic tattoo services. The lip area heals differently from skin — it is more moist, more active, and pigment fades by 40–60% during healing. The result will look dramatically lighter than on Day 1. Keep lips consistently moisturised throughout the entire healing process.
✅ DO
- Apply the aftercare ointment generously — every 2 hours for Days 1–3, then 3–4 times daily for the remainder of week 1
- Keep lips consistently moisturised throughout all of healing — never let them dry out
- Drink through a straw for the first 3–5 days to minimise lip contact with liquids
- Eat soft, mild foods for the first week (soups, yoghurt, smoothies, mashed foods)
- Pat lips dry very gently after any moisture contact — never rub
- Take prescribed antiviral medication if you have a history of cold sores
- Apply SPF lip balm daily once fully healed to preserve colour longevity
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT get lips wet or submerged for the first 3–5 days
- Do NOT pick, peel, or rub the lips as the skin flakes — it must fall off naturally
- Do NOT eat spicy, salty, acidic, or citrus foods for the first week (chilli, vinegar, citrus, tomato)
- Do NOT drink alcohol for 48 hours post-treatment
- Do NOT smoke — it impairs healing and blurs the lip border over time
- Do NOT wear any lip makeup for at least 10–14 days
- Do NOT have lip filler for at least 4 weeks after treatment
- Do NOT expose lips to direct sun without SPF lip balm protection
📅 Healing Timeline
Days 1–2
Lips look very dark, full, and swollen. Apply ointment every 2 hours. Drink through a straw. Eat very soft foods only. This is the most intense-looking phase.
Days 3–5
Swelling reduces. Lips feel dry and tight. A thin layer of skin begins to peel — do NOT pull it off. Continue generous ointment application.
Days 5–10
Flaking continues and colour fades dramatically — lips may look very light, pale, or almost colourless. This is normal. The pigment is still in the skin underneath.
Weeks 2–4
True healed colour gradually surfaces. Lips look naturally tinted, soft, and beautifully defined. Resume normal diet and lip routine.
Week 6 ✓
Fully healed. Book your FREE touch-up. Tee will assess colour retention and intensity, and add a second layer of pigment if needed for a richer result.
⚠️
Cold sore history: If you have EVER had a cold sore (herpes simplex), you must take antiviral medication (e.g. Valaciclovir / Valtrex) starting 2 days BEFORE your appointment and continue for 5 days AFTER. See your GP to obtain a prescription in advance. Failing to do so can trigger a severe outbreak that damages both your health and your lip tattoo result.
Lash extensions are bonded to your natural lashes with a professional adhesive that takes 24–48 hours to fully cure. The most critical aftercare period is the first 48 hours — what you do (or don't do) in this window determines how long your lashes last and how well they retain their shape.
✅ DO
- Keep lashes completely dry for the first 24–48 hours — the adhesive needs this time to fully cure
- Brush lashes gently with the provided spoolie each morning to keep them fluffy and separated
- Sleep on your back or on a silk/satin pillowcase to avoid crushing or twisting the lashes
- Clean lashes 2–3 times per week using a lash-safe, oil-free foaming cleanser and a soft lash brush
- Apply a tiny amount of lash sealant/coating if recommended by Tee
- Book a refill every 2–3 weeks to maintain a full look as natural lashes shed
- Handle lashes gently — treat them like delicate jewellery
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT get lashes wet for the first 24–48 hours — no washing, swimming, steaming, or crying
- Do NOT use any oil-based products near the eyes — oils break down the lash adhesive rapidly
- Do NOT use waterproof mascara on extensions — it requires harsh removers that damage the bond
- Do NOT rub, pull, twist, or pick at the lashes — this damages your natural lashes too
- Do NOT use a mechanical eyelash curler — it will snap the extensions
- Do NOT sleep face-down or on your side without a silk pillowcase
- Do NOT attempt to remove extensions yourself — always come back to the studio for professional removal
- Do NOT use cotton pads near the lashes — fibres catch and pull on the extensions
📅 Retention Timeline
Hours 0–48
Critical curing period. Keep completely dry and avoid all steam, heat, and humidity. No exercise. No cooking over a steaming pot. No long hot showers.
Days 3–7
Adhesive fully cured. Begin gentle cleansing routine 2–3 times per week. Brush lashes daily. Lashes should look full and perfect during this phase.
Weeks 2–3
Natural lash shedding cycle means some extensions will naturally fall. This is normal — you shed 2–5 natural lashes per day. Book a refill to maintain fullness.
Week 3–4
Refill recommended. Approximately 40–50% of extensions will have shed with your natural lashes. A refill restores the full look quickly.
6+ weeks
A full new set may be needed depending on how many extensions remain. We recommend refills every 2–3 weeks for best results and lash health.
💡
Lash cleaning is essential: Dirty lashes = shorter retention. Built-up oils, makeup, and skin debris weaken the adhesive bond. Clean your lashes regularly with an oil-free lash shampoo — this is the single most important thing you can do to extend the life of your extensions.
⚠️
Sensitivity or reaction: Some clients experience mild irritation during the first few hours after application — this is usually from adhesive fumes and passes quickly. If you experience persistent redness, swelling, or discomfort beyond 24 hours, contact us immediately. Do not rub your eyes.
Skin treatments stimulate your skin's natural renewal process — which means the days immediately following treatment are when your skin is most vulnerable and most receptive to good care. How you treat your skin post-procedure directly impacts your results. Treat your skin gently and give it time to do its work.
✅ DO
- Keep skin clean and well-hydrated using gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser
- Apply SPF 50 sunscreen every morning — sun exposure immediately after treatment can cause pigmentation and damage
- Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser with lukewarm (not hot) water for the first week
- Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and recovery from within
- Let any redness, mild swelling, or flaking resolve naturally without interference
- Use a cold compress on areas of visible redness or warmth if uncomfortable
- Follow the specific product routine Tee recommends for your skin type and treatment
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT use retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or any active ingredients for at least 5–7 days after treatment (or as advised)
- Do NOT have any other facial treatments, peels, or laser for at least 2–4 weeks
- Do NOT touch or pick at flaking skin — let it shed naturally
- Do NOT apply heavy makeup for 24–48 hours after treatment — let skin breathe
- Do NOT use hot water on your face — use lukewarm only, and pat dry gently
- Do NOT use saunas, steam rooms, or exercise heavily for 24–48 hours
- Do NOT expose treated skin to direct sun without SPF — especially in the first 2 weeks
- Do NOT use harsh scrubs or physical exfoliants until fully healed
📅 General Recovery Timeline (varies by treatment intensity)
Day 1
Skin may appear pink, feel warm, or feel slightly tight. This is the inflammatory response — a sign the treatment is working. Minimal routine only: gentle cleanser + moisturiser + SPF.
Days 2–3
Redness begins to subside. Some light flaking or dryness may occur with peels or microneedling. Continue gentle hydration. Avoid all actives and makeup where possible.
Days 4–7
Skin visibly calmer. Texture improvements begin to show. You may carefully reintroduce light makeup if needed. Continue SPF daily.
Weeks 2–4
Skin continues to improve beneath the surface as collagen rebuilds. Best results from stimulating treatments like peels and microneedling are visible at 4–6 weeks.
Ongoing
Consistent SPF use and a good home skincare routine will maximise and prolong your treatment results. Follow Tee's recommended maintenance plan.
💡
The golden rule after skin treatments: If it stings, tingles, or makes your skin feel irritated — don't use it. Your skin barrier is temporarily compromised after treatment and needs simple, supportive care only. Save the actives for when your skin is fully recovered.
Laser removal works by breaking down pigment particles in the skin so your immune system can naturally flush them away. Each session will cause a controlled reaction in the treated area — redness, mild swelling, and sometimes minor blistering is a normal and expected part of the process. The skin needs time between sessions to heal and clear pigment. Results are gradual and cumulative over multiple sessions.
✅ DO
- Apply the recommended aftercare ointment or Aloe Vera gel to the treated area immediately and for the first few days
- Keep the treated area clean, dry, and covered with a sterile non-stick dressing for the first 24 hours if advised
- Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily and avoid all sun exposure on the treated area — this is critical for preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Drink plenty of water — good hydration supports your lymphatic system in clearing broken-down pigment
- Let any scabs, blisters, or frosting (white areas immediately after laser) heal completely without interference
- Keep the area cool and comfortable — cool compresses can help with immediate discomfort
- Follow the recommended session interval (minimum 6–8 weeks) to allow full healing between treatments
❌ DON'T
- Do NOT pick, scratch, or pop any blisters that form — this is how scarring and infection occurs
- Do NOT expose the treated area to the sun at all during healing — not even briefly without SPF
- Do NOT apply makeup, perfume, deodorant, or any cosmetic products to the treated area while healing
- Do NOT swim in pools, the ocean, or use spa pools until the skin is fully healed
- Do NOT shave over the treated area until fully healed
- Do NOT use retinol, exfoliants, or active skincare on the area during healing
- Do NOT book another laser session sooner than the recommended interval — the skin must complete its healing cycle first
- Do NOT apply heat to the area — no saunas, steam, hot showers directly on the area, or hot compresses
📅 Post-Session Healing Timeline
Immediately
The treated area may appear "frosted" (white), red, and slightly swollen. This is the normal laser reaction. Apply aftercare ointment and keep area cool and clean.
Days 1–3
Redness and mild swelling continues. Small blisters may form in some cases — this is normal. Do NOT pop them. Keep covered and apply aftercare as directed.
Days 4–10
Blisters (if present) begin to resolve. Scabbing may occur — let it fall away naturally. The area will feel less sensitive. Continue SPF every single day.
Weeks 2–4
Skin heals fully. Your immune system continues to break down and flush out pigment particles beneath the surface — fading continues to occur even after the skin looks healed.
Week 6–8
Assess results and book next session if required. Multiple sessions are always needed for complete removal — results are cumulative and improve with each treatment.
⚠️
Signs to watch for: Some redness, swelling, and blistering is expected. However, contact us or seek medical attention if you experience: spreading redness or red streaks, unusual or increasing pain, pus or discharge, fever, or any signs of infection. When in doubt, always reach out — we would rather check than have you suffer in silence.
💡
Patience is key: Laser removal is a gradual process. The pigment continues to fade over the weeks and months between sessions as your immune system processes the broken-down particles. Most cosmetic tattoos require 3–6+ sessions for significant fading. Results vary depending on pigment colour, depth, and your individual skin and immune response.
