In order for your new brows to heal properly and look their best, these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE!

​

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Please note: Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural scabbing and healing for the first two weeks. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures.

•Avoid Retin-A (or other retinoids), chemical peels and microdermabrasions around the brow area once healed. 

•DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!

 

DAY OF PROCEDURE:

•Wipe brows every 1-2 hours after your procedure with the provided wipes in your aftercare kit.  This will keep your brows clean and prevent heavy scabbing

•Before bed, apply healing gel or balm to each brow using a cotton swab. Apply the gel/balm 1x-2x a day, for at least 4 days until you run out.

•Your aftercare kit contains 2 eyebrow shields.  These must used in the shower to protect your brows from getting wet, especially when washing your hair.  They are reusable, as long as they're used on clean skin.

​

•24 HOURS POST PROCEDURE:

•Clean the brow area 1-2 times a day with plain water or provided cleanser.  Use a damp cotton ball, dab on and immediately dab dry.  You will need to clean your brows this way for the first 7-10 days following your procedure.

​

DAYS 1-10: 

•Keep eyebrows dry as much as possible for the first 7-10 days. This includes not getting it wet in the shower.

•Avoid sweating for a full 10 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results.

•Avoid sleeping on your face/brows 

•Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face  

•NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for this time period

•You may resume your regular skincare routine and makeup application after 7-10 days. 

 

FIRST 2 WEEKS

•Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 1-2 weeks.

•Eyebrow tinting and waxing should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your procedure.

 

FIRST 4 WEEKS

•COMPLETELY avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure.  Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.  

•NO facials, chemical and laser treatments, and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

​

 

 

Attention Please: We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their microblading appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of vacations, weddings, and special occasions. This allows adequate time for healing before your event.
