Microblading Aftercare Instructions
It is essential that you follow these instructions after your Microblading session:
Day One (Day of treatment):
Leave barrier protection cream on overnight and be sure not to touch the area, if needed place saran wrap over brows when you shower to ensure protection from moisture and bacteria.
Day 2 and forward
After 24 hours, gently wash off the barrier protection cream with lukewarm water. (Cotton applicator such as cotton round, cotton ball, or cotton swab preferred)
Apply post care ointment gently with cotton applicator 1-3x/day with freshly washed hands no aggressive movement and/or manipulation of the skin (aquaphor, A&D ointment, cavalon, preferred) no Neosporin or similar medications
The following must be avoided post-microblading procedure:
- Application of brow makeup for 2 weeks.
- Direct water on the brow tattoo and the use of cleansers, soaps and heavy creams are prohibited the first 2 weeks. Wash your face around the area outside of the shower and rinse with a soft cloth or cleansing pad, avoiding the brow area.
- After 2 weeks, when the dry healing process has finished, cleanse carefully with a gentle cleanser & NO SCRUBBING or aggressive cleansing.
- It is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.
- NO swimming, hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi
- NO sun tanning or salon tanning. Absolutely No Sun, sweating, or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades.
- Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck are prohibited.
- NO picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment
- NO performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
- No touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab
Before showering apply a layer of post-care cream to protect your eyebrows from moisture. During the shower keep your face away from the showerhead. Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post-microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.
The healing of deeper wounds might last between 14-21 days. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape-design are recommended only after this period.
If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin such as excessive swelling, redness, drainage, or discomfort, please follow up with a medical provider.
