Your new brows deserve the best—
follow our simple aftercare steps to keep them flawless and long-lasting.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

ABSORB (Day of)
After the procedure, gently blot the area with an unscented baby wipe to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes or so until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

WASH (Days 1-7)
Gently wash the area each morning and night with water or an unscented baby wipe. This removes bacteria and reduces the buildup of product, oils, and dead skin. To dry, gently pat with a paper towel. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA) or exfoliants.

MOISTURIZE AND HYDRATE (Days 1-7)
Apply a tiny, rice grain amount of Aquaphor once a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The product should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put Aquaphor on wet/damp freshly tattooed eyebrows.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

  • Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.

  • Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of pigment.

  • No facials, botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

  • Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors when possible.

  • Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.

  • Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.

  • Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days.

  • Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the treated area.

  • DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR SHOWERING:

  • Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam.

  • Keep the treated area out of the water as much as possible.

  • Avoid hot water on the treated area and excessive rinsing.

EYEBROW MICROPIGMENTATION POST PROCEDURE CARE

MicroBlading (semi-permanent makeup) procedures are affected by the “canvas” (your skin) that they are performed on. Lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, facial surgery and other procedures, and age of skin all contribute to fading. The initial application is always applied conservatively because every person’s skin is different and the final color can only be precisely determined and adjusted during a follow-up appointment after the initial application has fully healed. Because of this, the micropigmentation process is not complete after the initial procedure. In all cases, a follow-up appointment is required 6-8 weeks after your initial application to fine tune and ensure the best result. Though rare, infection is possible. If you see signs of infection such as persistent increased redness or swelling,

Fever, drainage, or oozing, contact your doctor immediately.

  • When the area starts to flake, leave it. Do not pick, peel, or pull on the skin.

  • Apply a thin coat of Aquaphor® or Ink Oil to the area twice a day for 3-4 days. Wipe brows three times daily with an unscented baby wipe. Avoid soap or cleansing products as they may be too drying or abrasive.

  • Avoid excessive sweating (such as vigorous exercise) for 24 hours.

  • For at least one week post-procedure or until healing is complete (whichever is longer):

    • Keep your hands clean and avoid touching the affected area(s).

    • Do not scrub or pick treated areas.

    • Do not use peroxide or Neosporin on treated areas.

    • Do not expose area to direct sun or to tanning beds.

    • Avoid exposing the area to excessive moisture or humidity (facials, pools, hot tubs, saunas, steam shower, etc.)

  • Avoid Retin-A, moisturizers, glycolic acids, exfoliants, and anti-aging products at all times (not just during healing) on all micropigmented areas. These can cause pigments to fade and lighten prematurely.

  • Avoid chemicals (skin cleansers, makeup removers, alpha hydroxyl creams, chlorine, etc.) near the treated area until healed.

  • Pigments will slowly fade over time. Schedule maintenance visits as needed to keep it looking fresh. Client is aware that the pigment applied may migrate.

  • Do not resume any method of eyebrow hair removal or coloration for at least two weeks.

  • Avoid eyebrow tinting within 48 hours before or two weeks after the procedure.

  • Periodic touch ups will ensure longer lasting results.

HEALING SCHEDULE

If you’ve never had microblading before, there are a lot of unknowns. One of the most common questions asked is what to expect during the healing process. While every person is different and some heal more quickly or slowly than others, here’s generally what to expect. Temporary side effects from microblading include but are not limited to: redness, swelling, puffiness, bruising, dry patches and tenderness. You should expect to lose approximately 1/3 of the initial color during the healing process. We have selected the optimal pigments for you with this in mind. In approximately six days it may appear too light. After about 10 days, the color will show more. It will appear softer when completely healed.

DAYS 1-2: The eyebrows are approximately 20-25% bolder and darker in width than they will be when healed. Expect light to moderate swelling and redness. The skin’s redness causes the color of the pigment to appear darker. There is some swelling, although it may be difficult to actually see due to the thickness of the skin in the eyebrow area. This will subside. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days, will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow to flake away and a more narrow appearance will result. New skin will heal over the pigmented area and result in a softer appearance of your eyebrows. Don’t be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker and heavier in size than you desire. This is all part of the process.

DAY 3: Eyebrows start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. TRY NOT TO ITCH OR PEEL

DAY 4: The skin begins to flake, peeling from the outside edges first. TRY NOT TO ITCH OR PEEL

DAY 5: Color finishes flaking off and appears softer and grayer for a few days until color clarifies.

DAY 6: The color has lightened from its initial overly-dark appearance. For the next few days, the color may now be lighter than what the final color will be.

DAY 10: The final color begins to stabilize and show through. The color will continue to soften as the healing process completes.
