PMU Aftercare

Day 1 – Day 7 (Healing Phase)

​

 

For the first day - absorb excess fluid. For the first few hours after your PMU appointment, gently blot the treated area with a baby wipe or cooled boiled water & cotton pad to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents buildup and scabbing.

​

 

1. Keep brows dry

• Do not get your brows wet (no showers directly on the face, no swimming, no steam).

• Avoid excessive sweating.

​

 

2. Clean gently (morning & night)

• Wash your hands thoroughly.

• Lightly dampen a cotton pad with cooled boiled water.

• Gently wipe the brows to remove any lymph build-up.

• Pat dry with a clean tissue — do not rub.

​

 

3. Apply ointment (morning & night)

• After cleaning, apply a grain-of-rice amount of the recommended ointment.

• Use a clean cotton bud.

• Apply morning and night only.

• Brows should look lightly moisturised, not greasy.

​

 

4. Do not touch or pick

• Do not scratch, rub, or pick the brows.

• Let flakes fall off naturally.

​

 

What to Expect

• Brows may appear darker and bolder at first.

• Mild redness, tenderness, and tightness is normal.

• Flaking may occur between days 3–7.

• Colour will soften and lighten as healing progresses.
