  • Avoid heat treatments for 24 hours.

  • Do not apply brow make-up for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

  • Avoid swimming/saunas for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

  • Avoid putting oils on brow area.

  • Avoid scrubing the brow area, you may wash your face but do not scrub.

Should I do anything prior to a Microblading session? 

 

Yes, you will get much better results when you properly prep before a Microblading session. It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure.

 

  • Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before procedure. 

  • Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face.

  • Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment.

  • Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment.

  • Do not work out the day of the procedure.

  • Do not have botox 3 weeks prior.

  • Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners).

  • Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.

​

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

​

  • Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo.

  • Do not consume coffee before your procedure.

  • Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood).

​

What should I expect my Microblading session? 

​

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

 

Days 1 - 4: The pigment will appear very sharp and dark. 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 on the cotton swab, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin. Your brows may swell and appear larger also. 

​

Days 5 - 7: Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the pigment is fading too quickly, however, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows. 

​

Days 8 - 12: Your brows may look as though the pigment has completely faded – do not panic – take a deep breath and trust the process. 

​

Days 14 - 28: Your brows may still look a little patchy or uneven, but the pigment will start to “reappear” as the pigment settles and the healing continues. 

​

You may get your touch-up/perfecting procedure done at the 6-8 week point NO SOONER to allow for complete healing of the brows. 

​

Pro-Tip: Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 up to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade quickly.
