Aftercare
Microblading Aftercare:
Day One (Day of Treatment): Wait 1-2 hours and let the wounds weep lymph. After 2 hours you must wipe off the lymph with a moistened cotton pad, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with a cotton swab. Do this every hour on the hour until bed.
At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.
NOTE: Too much Aquaphor will cause the pigment to scab. Aquaphor is available in the skin care section if any drug store.
Day Two – Nine: Repeat the wiping of the brows at least 2 times a day. At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.
The following MUST BE AVOIDED during all nine days post-Microblading procedure:
- Sweating. It is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.
- Practicing sports
- Swimming
- Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi
- Sun tanning or salon tanning. Absolutely No Sun, sweating,or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate, taking color with it as it fades.
- Any laser or chemical treatments or peeling, and/or creams containing Retain-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck.
- Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
- Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
- Spicy foods
- Smoking
- Drinking alcohol in excess, as in may less to slow healing of wounds
- Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles
- Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab
Microblading helps enhance or rebuild your brows with no maintenance until your yearly retouch. It is a two step process, 4-6 weeks of appointments adding extremely natural hairlike strokes. This is a semi-permanent procedure.
Before-care:
- NO alcohol for two days PRIOR to procedure
- DO NOT workout the day of the procedure
- DO NOT tan or have sunburned face
- DO NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, or Ibuprofen 48 hours before the procedure
- NO caffeine day of the procedure
- NO waxing or tinting two days prior to procedure
- Please note you are more sensitive during menstrual cycle
- Suggest you come in for a wax or plucking a week before procedure
After-care:
Before showering, apply a layer of post-care cream to protect your eyebrows from moisture. During the shower keep your face away from the shower head.
Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post-Microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.
The healing of deeper wounds might last between 14-21 days. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape/design is recommended only after this period.
Once completely healed, after 2 weeks, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
