MICROBLADING AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT LET ANY WATER, LOTION, SOAP, OR MAKEUP TOUCH YOUR EYEBROW AREA DURING THE FIRST 7 DAYS AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE.
After 5 – 7 days make sure your hands are completely clean and gently apply the post-care ointment (A&D ointment, grape seed oil, or coconut oil) with a cotton swab. This may be done once per night, but be sure to use the ointment sparingly as your skin needs to heal itself. Please continue to apply the ointment for 7 days.
The following MUST BE AVOIDED during the first 14 days after your microblading procedure:
Please wash your face carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the treated area. During the shower, keep your face away from the showerhead.
Itching and flaking may occur during the first 7 days post procedure. However, experience has proven that by following these aftercare instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.
If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact me immediately, to discuss further instructions.
Contact a physician if any signs or symtpoms develop such as the following: fever, redness at the site, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, elevated body temperature, red streaks in or around the treatment site going towards the heart, and/or any green or yellow discharge that is foul in order.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR MICROBLADING SESSION
The entire healing process will take 4 – 6 weeks depending on your body regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
The pigment will appear very natural looking immediately after the procedure. The color of the pigment will appear much darker the following day.
Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after the recovery period (peeling), brows might appear lighter than they were originally. This might give you the impression that the color is fading too quickly. Often, even with proper care, clients can develop bald spots or lose pigment from the micro-stroke which will make the brows look uneven. This is absolutely normal. This is why there is a touch-up session scheduled 6 weeks post treatment.
Once the healing of the skin starts to take place, it will look likedandruff is flaking from your brow area. However, this is just superficial pigment and dry skin naturally shedding from your eyebrows. The final look of your brows will be apparent approx. 30 days post procedure. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from its natural healing process.
Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 to SPF 50 on your brows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the pigment to fade away more quickly.
After 5 – 7 days make sure your hands are completely clean and gently apply the post-care ointment (A&D ointment, grape seed oil, or coconut oil) with a cotton swab.
