PRE & POST CARE 

Pre-Care Microblading Eyebrows:

  1. Try not to give excessive sunlight exposure to the area going to be treated.

  2.  Most dermatologists advise that you wear the usual makeup until the day of treatment.
  3.  Do not take aspirin two days before the treatment.
  4.  Do not discontinue any medication without consulting your doctor about the treatment.
  5.  Reduce alcohol intake and end it two days before the treatment.

​

 

Microblading Post-Care :

Microblading is absolutely safety procedure.  However, proper post-care is extremely important to ensure fast recovery and desire effect. Please follow the below guidelines:

​

 

Day 1:  4-5 hours after the procedure, clean the area with moisture sterile water (distilled water) cotton pad, gauze or cotton swab and allow to air dry.  Apply the post-care cream with a cotton swab and use no aggressive movement and/or manipulation of the skin.

Note:  Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.

​

 

Day 2-10:  Do not wet your brows, even a small drop will expand a wound and a scab will appear. Please wash your face carefully around the eyebrows without getting water on the treated area. If you feel dust or discomfort on the treated area, wipe it gently with alcohol wipe.

  • If your skin is oily, make sure you keep your brows clean and dry, you can disinfect up to 3 times a day if needed.

  •  If your skin is dry, choose a non-alcohol based disinfectant to avoid additional dryness; you will only want to disinfect up to 2 times a day, over disinfecting will cause dryness.

  • Apply A&D ointment or Aquaphor healing ointment after 7 days of the treatment. It usually applied in the evening before sleep. Some clients might need to apply it 2 times per day. It will help to keep treated area moisturized and soft for the rest of the recovery period. Although, grape seed oil is the most popular and recommended, you can substitute it with sweet almond, jojoba or coconut oil. Avoid Petroleum Jelly or Vaseline as it can cause a reaction and block skin from breathing.

  • DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off.

  • Tylenol needed for pain. NO Advil, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aspirin, etc.

 

What is to be avoided on treated area

​

First 10 days:

  • Water, cleansers, creams, makeup or any other products.

  • Avoid workouts that involve a lot of sweating, sauna, facial, massage and steaming (inhalation).

 

In the next 30 days:

  • Sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peeling, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, cream that contain regeneration factors.

  • Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (fraxel, laser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

  • Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading, always protect the eyebrows from the sun with SPFs (not during the first 7 days).
