Healing period is at least 1 week. As long as you're good at following aftercare instructions, there shouldn't be an issue going to work or being out in public. Highly recommend the High-end Power Ombre, due to the recovery time is as short as 3 days. The recovery period is short and the effect is natural. You can still have contact with clean water at any time, but do not rub the eyebrows the first 3 days.
