To achieve the most beautiful, natural brows with the best results, it’s crucial to prep for the appointment and follow the aftercare
Pre-Care
HERE’S HOW TO GET YOUR SKIN READY FOR THE PROCEDURE
1 MONTH BEFORE No Botox or fillers 4 weeks prior No facials 2 weeks prior
2 WEEKS BEFORE No tinting, waxing or electrolysis No retinol products No tanning or intense sun exposure
24 HOURS BEFORE To prevent bleeding or poor color deposits: No caffeine (coffee or tea) or alcohol No fish oil or vitamin E supplements No excessive sweating or working out
Microblading is not recommended for those with oily skin or large pores. If that’s you, you may want a Powder Brows or Microshading Combo technique. Microblading, Microshading and Powder Brows are not provided for people:
Under 18 years old Pregnant or nursing With diabetes, glaucoma, shingles, psoriasis or eczema on the area of treatment With allergies to makeup With keloids, HIV/Hepatitis, skin cancer, hemophilia, or if taking skin medications like Accutane and steroids
Aftercare
Post treatment care makes up 50% of the total treatment success. Conscientiously adhere to the given advice because if not, you might risk losing up to 80% of the drawn strokes.
At the end of your session, we will provide you with an after care kit that has everything you need for the 7-10 day healing process. This may vary per skin type, but 10 days is recommended for the best results.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR THE FIRST 7-10 DAYS
Very gently wipe the treated area with an aftercare wipe 2 hours after the procedure, allow the skin to dry and then apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment (half a rice grain size on each brow), repeat every 2 hours the first day.
Days 2-7, morning & night, gently dab the treated area with the wipes prior to applying the provided ointment (half a rice grain size on each brow), make sure the skin is always dry before applying.
Apply aftercare ointment 3-5 times a day for normal skin, 1-2 times daily for oily skin Avoid getting the treated area wet for 7-10 days No sweating or excessive exercise for 7 days Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the brow area for 7 days No facials, botox, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks No major sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks
THE HEALING PROCESS
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FIRST 6-8 WEEKS:
The first week is going to be terrifying. Here’s a list of thoughts that will probably cross your mind:
OMG these are way too dark and thick! What did I just do? I don’t want to look in the mirror! I can’t be seen in public like this…I look too scary!
The good news is, the intensified color and slight redness are part of the initial stages of healing and will only be from days 2-5. Don’t freak out…just be patient. This is the initial shock phase and we ask that you just simply trust the process. After 7 days, the brows will fade about 20% (for microblading and microshading), 30% (for powder brows) and shrink about 10% to a much more natural look. The sensation can be compared to a slight burn and minimal peeling or flaking may take place. Refrain from picking at your brows as you may run the risk of removing pigment in the process.
Healing will vary with skin type, but you may experience color fading and loss of hair strokes. This is completely normal. A touch up session is necessary to assess your healing and fill in any missing strokes as well as give it a color boost. We can then recommend the best follow up timeline for future appointments.
