WHAT TO EXPECT POST-TREATMENT & AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Please follow these instructions for 14 days after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of your Microblading. If you don’t follow these instructions, it can greatly affect your Microblading results or put you at risk for infection or scarring or loss of pigmentation!
Items you will need for immediately after the procedure:
- Gold Dial Antibacterial Soap (in the pump) - Sterile gauze - Bottled water
Avoid getting anything on the brows, including water, except for cleansing as directed. For the first day after your procedure, please gently blot your brows every hour, using sterile gauze and a little bit of bottled/distilled water, to remove any excess lymph fluids. You can set an alarm on your phone to help remind you. This is very important to minimize scabbing and allow for better pigment retention!
Cleansing: In 2-3 hours, wash lightly with slightly damp Q-tips and antibacterial soap. Repeat this washing, very gently every morning and night. When washing, it should be very gentle and with hardly any water and with a tapping motion, no rubbing. Please avoid saturating brows with water. After the initial 3 days of washing, you may very sparingly apply a super thin application of aftercare balm (which I will provide), using a clean Q-tip – morning and night. This will hydrate your brow area for dryness relief. Do not pick or rub the brows. The scabs/flakes must fall off on their own or you will risk removing the color and possibly scarring.
-
Do not soak the treated area in the bath, pool or hot tub. For 30 days, refrain from swimming in salt water or chlorinated pools, saunas, hot yoga, steam rooms or sun beds.
-
No exercise for 14 days. After 14 days – When exercising, wear a sweatband to avoid sweat on brow area.
-
Do not expose treated area to direct sunlight. After healed (30 days), use a daily sunscreen to avoid fading from the sun.
-
No makeup should be applied directly on the brows during the healing process. After the brows have healed (14 days OR after the scab/skin flakes off) you may wear brow makeup at that time. • No other products should touch the brows during healing, other than the Dial soap and the after-care balm.
-
Do not touch, rub, pick or scratch your brows following treatment or during healing process.
-
You may find that your eyebrows will scab or become slightly dry following the treatment. If they itch, DO NO SCRATCH them. You may tap them to alleviate the itch.
-
If your eyebrows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel, DO NOT RUB.
-
Avoid using daily skincare products directly on the eyebrows, especially acids or exfoliants, such as Glycolics, Retinols, etc, which should NEVER be applied over the treated area.
-
If you are planning a Chemical Peel, or any other medical procedure, please inform the technician of the Microblading procedure you have had. Facial, and especially exfoliating treatments, should only be done once the healing process is totally complete.
-
If you are due to give blood after the procedure, please inform your nurse about the Microblading treatment you have had as this may temporarily alter your ability to donate.
