Microblading Aftercare

CARE DURING HEALING:

• Wash your hands before touching the tattooed area.
• You can shower or bathe normally after 2 days.
• Avoid using cleansers on face for the first week. Soap can remove the pigment from your brows.
• Avoid facials and exfoliators for 2 weeks.
• Avoid moisturizers, oil and vaseline for 2 weeks.
• Avoid makeup to area for 2 weeks.
• Use distilled water to lightly rinse the area and pat dry with a disposable paper towel 3 times a day.
• Using a cotton swab, apply a thin layer of the supplied or advised ointment 3 times a day after washing your face with tepid distilled water.
• Avoid sweating, tanning & swimming.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Swelling can last up to 3 days and feels similar to a sunburn.
• The healing process takes between 6-8 weeks. During this time your brows will get darker, lighter and could appear patchy. This is NORMAL. Once healed your brows will be about 30% softer than the day of your appointment. At your touch up appointment we can correct, add depth or define whatever you need.
•  The goal is to have the area flake off naturally, rather than to form large scabs. Let the scabs and flakes fall off naturally. If you pick or peel at the area it can cause the premature loss of pigment and scaring. You should apply the supplied or recommended ointment for 7-14 days

ONCE HEALED:

• Sun exposure over time can cause fading and discoloration to your new brows. Once completely healed its advised that you apply a sunscreen, wear a hat and sunglasses when you’re exposed to the sun.
• Rinse your face off thoroughly after swimming in chlorine. Chlorine can fade pigment.
• Avoid glycol acid, retin-a peels or exfoliants on your eyebrow area. This can fade pigment or change their color to grey or pink.
•  If you get any laser work done make sure to let your technician know about your tattooed eyebrows.
• Hydrate your face and brows regularly.
