Pre & Post Care

If you fill in your eyebrows/ lips please do so before coming so I can see the colour and shape that you are used to and adjustments and asymmetry will be made.

It is recommended to wash you hair before the appointment because you should avoid getting the area treated wet for a week. (unless you are cleansing)

Very important 24 hours before the appointment:

NO - Alcohol, caffeine, ibuprofens, aspirin! All these things cause the blood to thin, and bleeding modifies color and hair strokes.

Proper aftercare is extremely important to ensure fast recovery and desired effect. Please follow the below guidelines:

Blot the area with a clean tissue every 5 minutes for the first hour post procedure to collect lymphatic fluid.

Apply a pea sized amount of unscented gentle cleanser to the palm of your hand and mix with water. Swipe gently onto the treated area. Rinse water and blot dry AM & PM for 10 days. Start this process 1 day after procedure.

Brows should not be wet unless you are washing them as directed. If brows do get wet, pat dry very gently with a towel or tissue.

Apply pea sized amount of balm on treated area AM & PM for 10 days. Start this process the night of the procedure.

No rubbing, no itching, no picking. The treated area might feel a little ticklish and itchy during the first phase of recovering process, it is important not to rub it as you might get infection into your skin. Peeling is absolutely normal during second phase of recovery; avoid any sort of peeking of dry skin as you might peel out the wrong parts and create bald spots in newly reconstructed brow.

Keep your hair away from your face.

Avoid petroleum Jelly or Vaseline as it can cause a reaction and block skin from breathing. This step is very important - keeping the pigmented skin moist with an oil base ointment will control the amount drying and crusting. This will help with color retention.

No sun beds, tanning, excessive sweating in the gym, no makeup or anti aging creams on the brow area for at least 10 days. It is best to allow the brow to heal first before using any of the above. No heavy sweating for 2 days.

Entire healing process will take from 4 to 6 weeks depending on your body’s regeneration, age, immune system and lifestyle. Sometimes after permanent makeup customers develop dry, flaky skin. It is very important not to rub, pick or peel off your flakes or scabs. Itching is absolutely normal as skin is repairing itself. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from natural healing process. If you get your brow wet at the beginning of recovery, simply dry it with lint free tissue. The way you take care of your new brow after microblading will have great impact on the way it looks. Improper care often results in fading “patchy” brow.

Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period brows might appear lighter than original. Often, even with proper care, customers develop bald spots or loose original hairstrokes which makes brows look uneven. It is absolutely normal because your natural skin regeneration is not a process that technician can control. That’s why most customers need a touch up after 1 month to assure that brows are perfectly even and desired effect was achieved.

Any type of skin peels or products containing Retin A, glycolic and make-up over the pigmented area. Hot steamy showers or long baths. Keep your face away from shower head. Avoid soap, creams or lotions on the pigmented area, wash and apply around the area. No swimming, saunas or Jacuzzi for the period of 10 -14 days.
