Microblading Post-Care
The area(s) treated may show redness and swelling. It is quite normal for the color
to look dark or sharp and intense. Additional treatments cannot be undertaken
until the area has completely healed. A four to six week healing period is required
before any more work can be undertaken. Your touchup appointment will correct
any unevenness that occurred during the healing process, as well as any changes
you want to make to the shape or color. You may notice whiteness or blanching
around the area; this is quite normal and will subside within the first 12 hours. If
you find any lymphatic fluid or blood weeping, you can gently clean the area with
saline, cool boiled water and gauze, blotting gently dry to remove any moisture.
Aftercare is especially important during the first week of healing.
■ Keep the brow area clean by using a natural fragrance-free gel cleanser and water. Hands must be freshly clean . Avoid use of abrasive washcloths or sponges, allow eyebrows to completely air dry before applying ointment. Apply the after-care ointment given with freshly washed hands or a Q-Tip, DO NOT USE VASELINE.
■ Repeat the washing, drying and applying the cream at least 2 to 3 times a day for 14 days or until you see your brows are healed.
■ DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!
■ COMPLETELY avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a
minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause
the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause
hyper-pigmentation and scarring.
■ Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 3 weeks.
■ Avoid sweating for a full 10 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows will expel pigment from the dermis producing poor results.
■ Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 10 days.
■ Keep your bangs and hair pulled back from your face for the first 10 days.
■ NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for two weeks.
■ NO facials, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
■ NO botox for 4 weeks. We recommend that it’s best to wait until after your touch up heals to get Botox, as an educated injector will take your new brows into consideration when choosing where to inject.
■ After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using
sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading.
■ Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your
procedure.
■ Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels and Microderms around the brow area once healed.
Please Note:
● Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural healing for the first
two weeks. This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures.
● The Red Cross has suggested that you do not give blood for 6 months
following treatment. • MRI Scans – This procedure shows up as an artifact
on the scan. Some clients may experience a tingling sensation. Please
notify your radiologist.
● Injectables – Dermal fillers and Botox can alter the shape of the eyebrows.
Injectables should be carried out after a micropigmentation procedure, not
prior.
● Laser/Pulsed Light – Laser or pulsed light hair removal or skin rejuvenation
treatments can cause color change. Advise the therapist that you have had
a micro-pigmentation procedure as this cannot be rectified with another
micro-pigmentation procedure.
● Color Refreshing – To keep your new brows looking at their best, it is
recommended that you have a color refresh procedure at least every 12
months. A touch-up may be required sooner for oily-skinned clients, those
who tan often, or often expose the brow area to certain chemicals (facial
peels, chlorine, anti-aging products, etc.). Pigment retention varies
depending on skin type, age, aftercare, immune system, medications, and
certain chemicals.
