- Formation of a crust on the skin in the area of the eyebrows where the pigment is applied. The original pigment shade is bright and dark. After the restoration of the skin integument, the color becomes lighter by 2 tones.
- The swelling of the eyelids after the procedure is a natural reaction of the body to external effects. Soft tissue swelling can be seen for up to 4 days.
