Before & Aftercare

Aftercare matters just as much as the treatment itself, 20% of your results come from the in-clinic session, while 80% depends on your aftercare at home.

Day 1: Start with clean hands. Every 2-3 hours, gently cleanse your brows with a clean baby wipe or damp cotton round, pat dry, and apply a small amount of aftercare cream.

Day 2-14: Repeat the same cleanse-dry-cream process morning and evening.

Healing process: Brows appear darkest on days 1-3, then may become dry, flaky or patchy, this is normal, avoid picking or scratching. Colour may look uneven and can lighten by 30-50% as skin heals, sometimes appearing warmer in tone (red/orange) over the following 2-3 weeks. This is all part of the healing process.

For the first two weeks: Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms and sun exposure. Makeup, moisturisers and cleansers are fine elsewhere on the face, just avoid the tattooed area. Stick to light exercise to minimise sweating.

Follow-up: A touch-up appointment at 4-6 weeks helps perfect shape and colour. Some clients may need additional touch-ups depending on skin type, lifestyle, or hormonal changes. As healing varies from person to person, results can't be guaranteed, but your artist will guide you through a treatment plan for the best possible outcome.

Before your appointment, avoid exfoliating products, retinoids or other active skincare for 3-5 days to reduce the risk of irritation. Let your practitioner know about any medications or skin conditions, these can affect how your skin responds. Your therapist will guide you through the right prep during your skin consultation.

After treatment, your skin may be more sensitive. Avoid direct sun exposure, intense heat and strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours, and follow your practitioner's aftercare instructions closely for the best results.

Before your appointment: Avoid retinoids or exfoliating acids on the treatment area for 48 hours prior. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, oils or lotions. Limit sun exposure or tanning for 24-48 hours beforehand, and let your technician know about any allergies or recent treatments like peels or microdermabrasion.

After your appointment: Soothe the area with a calming lotion or aloe vera gel, and avoid touching it. Skip hot showers, steam rooms and saunas for at least 24 hours. Avoid makeup, exfoliants and strong skincare (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) on the treated area for 24 hours, and protect it with broad-spectrum SPF 30+, as waxing and tinting can increase sun sensitivity.

Needling is a natural therapy, the foundation from which all acupuncture developed. While we use the same needles as traditional acupuncture, our diagnostic approach is different. Some clients find it deeply relaxing, even drifting off during treatment, while others feel more stimulated, this depends entirely on your individual state of balance. Honesty during your consultation helps us identify what's really driving your health concern.

Yin Yang Needling continues working in the body for up to 3½ days after each session. You may need between 1 to 5 treatments depending on your needs. If your concerns fall outside our scope of practice, we'll refer you elsewhere rather than proceed, your wellbeing always comes first.

Treatment alone can't offset unhealthy habits. If part of your lifestyle is contributing to your concerns, following that advice can meaningfully improve your results, and save you money on treatment in the long run.
