Can I wear a mask after getting a brow tattoo?
My younger sister is 23 years old. She just got her eyebrows tattooed today. Can she wear a mask when going out?

Under normal circumstances, it is acceptable to wear a mask after getting eyebrows tattooed, as wearing a mask does not directly affect the recovery process.
eyebrow tattooing is a cosmetic procedure that involves piercing the skin's surface to implant pigment into the upper layer of the dermis, which causes minor trauma to the skin. during the healing period after the procedure, the skin requires time to heal these small wounds and gradually develop stable pigmentation. however, masks generally do not interfere with the healing of the eyebrow area, so wearing a mask after eyebrow tattooing is usually permissible.
however, if the mask frequently rubs against the eyebrow area, it may cause pigment loss, affect the final results, or even lead to infection. therefore, it is recommended to minimize outdoor activities and avoid wearing masks for the first two days after the procedure. if going outside is necessary, consider wearing a loose hat for coverage or wait until the redness and swelling subside before wearing a mask. additionally, keep the eyebrow area clean and dry, and avoid using oily skincare products, as they may interfere with the healing process. if any abnormal conditions occur, such as persistent redness and swelling, increased pain, or discharge, promptly contact a doctor or aesthetician for consultation.
