Aftercare Instructions

Your results are heavily dependent on you following proper aftercare instructions. Every client’s skin responds differently to a cosmetic tattoo.  This information acts only as a guideline.  Results are not guaranteed.  

Immediately after the procedure, the pigment may appear darker and more dramatic than the final results. This will last for 1-5 days. After complete healing, the color will appear softer and subtler. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience minimal discomfort on the treated area. Some clients describe a sensation similar to a sunburn, including redness and swelling. These symptoms usually subside within 24 to 48 hours.

 

Day 1 (treatment day):  

Your brows have been cleaned and sanitized.  A liquid bandaid has been applied to your brows. Avoid touching them unnecessarily.  Keep them clean and dry.


Day 2-10:  

You will be gently cleansing your brows and applying the provided ointment morning and night.

 

First, please wash your hands with antibacterial soap, and with clean fingertips, gently cleanse your brows with lukewarm water and the provided cleanser.  Massage gently in the direction of your hair growth. Rinse, then blot them very dry with a clean paper towel. Do not wipe.  Never use a towel (even freshly cleaned towels can harbor bacteria).  Make sure brows are COMPLETELY DRY before applying the ointment. 

 

With your clean fingertip (or a cotton swab) apply a rice grain amount of the provided ointment on to each eyebrow.  Do not oversaturate your brows with the ointment.  It will impede your overall results.  Just a rice grain amount on each brow.  In this case, less is more!

 

If you have OILY SKIN, please blot your t-zone and eyebrows with an oil free and scent free blotting sheet as needed.  The more oil you can absorb, the better your results will be.


Things To Remember:

  • Avoid touching your brows unnecessarily for 10 days. NO PICKING at brows or scabs. Please let your skin heal itself so you get the best results possible.

  • Avoid direct water on your eyebrows for 10 days (other than when cleansing brows).

  • You will not workout, or participate in any sweat inducing activities for 10 days while your brows are healing. One you return to the gym, always clean your eyebrows and face with warm water.

  • No tanning, swimming, saunas, or direct sun exposure (if you’re outdoors, you MUST wear a hat), for 14 days. After 14 days, sunblock on the brows is highly recommended.

  • No moisturizers, lotions, creams or products on eyebrows the first 14 days. Only use the provided ointment as directed.

  • No makeup on your brows for 10 days. If possible, avoid any makeup on your forehead for 10 days.

  • Avoid any facial treatments or other skin treatments for 4 weeks.

  • No Botox for 4 weeks.

  • Please sleep on clean pillow sheets for the first 10 days. Try to sleep on your back if possible for the first week.

  • Avoid tasks that may cause airborne debris to enter your fresh brows, such as heavy household cleaning, gardening, and animal contact.

Redness, light swelling and tenderness are common after your microblading procedure. These are common and do not require medical attention.  

The following symptoms are serious and DO require medical attention: red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature or purulent drainage from the procedure site. If you experience any combination of these last three symptoms please seek medical attention.
