AFTERCARE

Microblading Aftercare: 

Remember A.W.M.

A-  Absorb

W- Wash

M- Moisturized

1 Day After First Session

Absorb excess fluid. For the first few hours after your microblading appointment, gently blot the treated area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this until oozing has stopped. Removing this prevents buildup and scabbing.

2-10 Days After First Session

Washing Eyebrows. For about 2-10 days following your microblading service, wash eyebrows gently. Proceed with a patting motion instead of rubbing. Wash with water and an antibacterial, unscented soap i.e. Dial or Cetaphil Cleanser, apply with light touch using fingertips to gently cleanse the brows. Clean the area with a smooth motion for about 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuing that all soap is rinsed away. Gently pat to dry with clean towel. Wash twice a day,

Do NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic or AHA), or any exfoliants. Do not allow your brows to get wet outside. 

3-10 Days After Session

Use a cotton swab and apply aftercare ointment the size of a rice grain, spread across the treat area. Do not over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay the healing process. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never apply ointment while brows are wet or damp. You may apply a healing balm according to your Microblading Artist's advice. If you have excessively oily skin, you may not need to use healing balm at all. For those with dry skin, balm can be used up to 2-3 times a day.

How to shower Aftercare

  • When showering, keep your face away from shower head.
  • Do not soak the treated area in the bath, pool or hot tub. Refrain from swimming in salt water or a chlorinated pool unitl fully healed (at least 4 weeks). No saunas or hot yoga for 30 days.
  • When excercising, wear a sweatband to avoid sweat on brow area. Nothing too excessive for 7-10.
  • Do no expose treated area to direct sunlight. After brows have fully healed or at least 4 weeks.  You may use sunscreen to avoid fading caused by sunlight. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.


Itching and Flaking

  • Expect itching and flaking for the first seven days. Do not pick at the brows. The flakes must fall off on their own or you risk removing the colour and possibly cause scarring.
  • Avoid touching brows and be mindful on your back until your brows have healed.
  • No makeup should be apply directly on the brows during the healing process.
  • If your brows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel, DO NOT RUB.

Other Medical Procedures 

  • If you are having MRI scan, inform your doctor that you have had microblading/semi-permanent makeup done.
  • Chemical Peels allow only if the brows have fully healed or at least 4 Weeks.
  • Donating blood after procedure, inform nurse about the microblading treatment you have had as this might alter results.
