MICROBLADING PRECARE
Essential Steps for Optimal Microblading Results
To ensure the best results for microbladed brows, it is essential to properly prepare the skin. Our Pre-Care instructions are designed to minimize bleeding and skin sensitivities during the procedure. Healthy skin leads to better outcomes, as excessive bleeding can dilute the pigment and compromise the final look. Additionally, compromised skin may affect pigment retention. Follow these guidelines carefully for optimal healed results.
1. Avoid Workouts: Do not engage in any workouts 24 hours before the procedure.
2. No Caffeine: Refrain from consuming caffeine on the day of your appointment.
3.Pain Relief Medications: Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen before the procedure, as these can thin the blood.
4. Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior to the procedure; sunburnt skin is not permitted.
5. Vitamins and Supplements: Discontinue fish oil, prenatal vitamins, or any supplements containing Vitamin E for three days before your appointment.
6. Skin Treatments: Stop any facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion treatments two weeks prior to the procedure.
7. AHA Products: Avoid using any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products near the eyebrow area for two weeks before and after the procedure.
8.Botox and Fillers: Schedule any Botox or fillers near the eyebrow area at least three weeks before your appointment.
9. Brow Grooming: Do not wax, tint, thread, or tweeze your brows one week before the procedure. The more hair, the better!
10. Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours prior to the procedure.
Important Note: Sensitivity may be heightened during your menstrual cycle.
*Please be aware that failure to follow these instructions may result in your appointment being canceled or rescheduled, as skin health is crucial to the microblading process.*
MICROBLADING AFTERCARE
Protect Your Investment: Aftercare for Stunning Brows
Microblading (a form of semi-permanent makeup) results can vary based on the unique qualities of your skin, or “canvas.” Factors such as lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, previous facial surgeries or procedures, and skin age all play a role in how the pigment may fade over time. During the initial application, we take a conservative approach, as each individual’s skin is different, and the final color can only be accurately assessed and adjusted during a follow-up appointment after the initial healing process.
It's important to note that the micropigmentation process isn’t complete after the first procedure. A follow-up appointment is necessary approximately 30 to 60 days later to refine and achieve optimal results. While rare, infections can occur. If you notice persistent redness, swelling, fever, drainage, or oozing, please contact your doctor immediately.
Aftercare Guidelines: Post-Appointment Instructions
Day 1: Absorb
-
Gently blot the treated area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid as needed until the oozing stops. This helps prevent the lymph from hardening.
-
Before bed, wash your brows with antibacterial soap, then apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor (about a rice grain-sized amount) between both brows.
Washing Instructions:
To wash correctly, use water and an antibacterial soap like Dial, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. Gently massage your eyebrows in a circular motion with your fingertips for about 10 seconds. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap, then pat dry with a clean tissue. Avoid cleansers that contain acids (glycolic, lactic, AHA) or exfoliants.
Days 2-10: Moisturize and Wash
-
Wash your brows twice a day (morning and night) to remove bacteria and dead skin—don’t worry, this will not remove the pigment!
-
After each wash, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.
Important: Avoid over-applying Aquaphor as too much can suffocate the skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable.
For Oily Skin: If you have oily skin, you can skip the Aquaphor application as long as your brows aren’t drying out.
Scabbing:
If you experience scabbing (which is common with ombre/powder brows and shading, but may happen with regular microblading too), do not pick at the scabs. Let them fall off naturally to avoid scarring or loss of pigment.
Days 10-14+: Continued Healing
-
Microblading requires 4-8 weeks for full healing, although most clients see visible results within 2-3 weeks. During this period, your brows will go through several changes. We wait the full 4-8 weeks to allow the skin to heal completely before performing any touch-ups.
Tip: If you feel your brows need moisture after the first 10 days (due to itchiness, flaking, or dry skin), it's okay to apply a light layer of Aquaphor. Listen to your body and adjust as needed to stay comfortable.
Ongoing Care:
-
Avoid using Retin-A, glycolic acids, exfoliants, and anti-aging products on all micropigmented areas at all times, as these can cause premature fading of the pigment.
-
Stay away from tanning beds, sun exposure, chlorine in spas and pools.
-
Be aware that pigments will gradually fade over time. Schedule maintenance visits as needed to keep your brows looking fresh.
