Pre and Post Care

Eyebrows

If you have oily skin, your results will appear softer (eyebrows can look solid) in appearance and may require additional procedures.

Dark skin types please note that your permanent makeup will not appear as bold as lighter skin types. (Indian, African American, Filipino, etc.)

Plan on scheduling your touch-up within the first 6 months.

Come to your appointment with your eyebrows penciled the way you like them (optional) if you like & bring your eyebrow pencil with you

Clients with darker skin (Indian, African American, Filipino, etc.), Please know that the Hair Strokes and Eye Liners WILL NOT appear as defined or as dark as lighter skin types due to the skin color already being naturally darker.

Microblading Eyebrows Post-Care:

Microblading eyebrows is a “dry heal” Do not get wet, and no sweating for 10 days

Do Not rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!

Completely avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.

Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, steamy hot showers and/or steamy hot baths for 3 weeks.

Avoid sweating for a full 10 days. Any physical effort, gym, hot weather, any other activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows will cause the “hairstrokes” to blur under the skin, there is no fixing this.

Wash face with makeup wipes so no water drips on the brows, and no washing hair in shower, brows might get wet, so just use dry shampoo or go get them washed at a salon or lay back in your bath to wash your hair so eyebrows do not get wet for the first 10 days.

Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 10 days.

NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for two weeks.

NO facials, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

After 10 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading.

Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your procedure.
Avoid Retin-A, Chemical Peels and Microderms around the brow area once healed.

Avoid applying any skincare that has the words “acid” “Retin A” “Glycol” on the area treated! Look in your foundations and primers too, it is in things that say “long lasting” or “Forever”

Eyebrows- Typical Recovery

Day1-2

The eyebrows are approximately 20 to 25% darker and bolder in width than they will be when healed. Your skin is red under the pigment which causes the color of the pigment to appear darker. There is some swelling, although difficult to see due to the thickness of the skin in the eyebrow area. This will subside. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days, will cause the excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure to flake away and a more narrow appearance will result. New skin will heal over the pigmented area and result in a softer appearance of your eyebrows. Don’t be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker and heavier in size than you desire. This is all part of the process.

Day3

Eyebrows will start to itch and will appear a bit thicker in texture. Natural exfoliation begins., do not exfoliate yourself.

Day4

The skin begins to flake- peeling from the outside edges first.

Day5

Color finishes flaking off and appears softer and grayer for a few more weeks until color clarifies.
