Before & After Instructions

---

BEFORE:

Do NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E or omega-3, unless medically necessary, 72 hours prior to your appointment. (Tylenol or acetaminophen is okay!)
 

Do NOT drink alcohol 24 hours before you appointment. 

Do NOT drink coffee or any caffeinated drinks the day of your appointment. (You can have caffeine afterwards!)
 

The following treatments should be avoided within four weeks of your appointment:
•Botox or other fillers 
•Chemical Peels
•Laser treatments
 

Please do not exercise directly before your appointment as the body heat will expands the pores.   
 

Avoid heavy sunlight and especially sunburn 3 days before procedure. Skin should not be in process of healing before your appointment.

AFTER...

The following must be avoided during all 14 days post-microblading procedure:

•Sweat​
•Water/moisture on brows
•Heavy sun exposure or salon tanning​
•Hot sauna or steam
•Chemical peels or laser treatments
•Botox or injections
•Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic acid on the face or neck
•Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area, in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment
•Drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wounds

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS: 

It is essential that you follow these instructions after your microblading treatment: 

Day 1 

– Let it heal dry and don't touch until Day 2. 

Days 2-14: 

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

-Make a lather in your hands with a gentle face wash (Cetaphil is recommended) and gently wash your brows, being careful to not be abrasive or irritate the healing skin. 

-Rinse and pat brows dry with a clean towel and let them air-dry completely.  

-Gently apply a thin layer of post care ointment with a cotton swab.    

*Keep showers under 15 minutes. Keep your face away from the shower head to avoid splashing water on brows. 

*Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post microblading procedure. During this time resist the urge to peel the flaking skin. Instead apply a small amount of post care ointment to soothe it. 

*The healing of deeper wounds might last between 14-21 days.  
 

What to expect during and after your microblading session:

Your newly microbladed eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. 

The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely.  The color of the pigment will soften gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment come off with flaking skin, as this is excess pigment.

Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 and up to your eyebrows when going into the sun. Excessive sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
