Microblading

 

Day of Procedure

​

+ After the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess blood and lymph fluid for four hours post treatment.

+ Do this frequently until the oozing has stopped.

+ Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.  

 

Wash (Days 1-7)

​

+ Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

+ Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented cleanser like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or baby shampoo.  With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the area.

+ Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away.

+ To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. 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 Aftercare 3 times 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 the product on a wet or damp tattoo.

​

Important Reminders

​

+ Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.

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

+ No facials, Botox (injected directly into treated area - otherwise wait two weeks after), chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

+ Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for 10 days as this can cause your new brows to turn grey.

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

+ 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 area.

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

​

Important Instructions for Showering

​

+ Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair.

+ Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower.  

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