3D Microblading™ After Care

>>> PLEASE FOLLOW THESE AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BEST RESULTS <<<

The treated area will appear thicker and darker the first 1-2 weeks and may scab or flake day 3-10.

Monitor treated area for 6 hours & gently dab excess lymph fluid off with clean hands & tissue.
Keep treated area dry, avoid touching and anything that may cause infection for a minimum of 24 hours.
Avoid sleeping on the treated area, steam in the shower/bath or soaking the brows for two weeks.
After keeping area dry for a MINIMUM of 24 hours wash hands for 20 seconds, then gently wash the old ointment off with a gentle soap and room temperature water. I prefer Cetaphil gentle foaming cleanser.
How to wash: Use your ring fingers and go against the grain in gentle circles and rinse well to be sure all soap is removed. The epidermis seals after 24 hours so DO NOT be afraid to wash the eyebrows. Gently blot the treated area dry 100% before reapplying a thin, rice grain size amount of ointment with a q-tip.
Ointment: Apply ointment daily for 7 days, starting the day after your appointment. If you have an oily t-zone make sure you wash your brows daily but there is no need for ointment. Less is more with the ointment regardless of skin type. The skin should be clean and be able to breathe to heal properly. If you over apply ointment the results will heal blotchy.
No strenuous exercise for 7 days. Salt from the sweat can lead to premature fading & will require more touch-ups.
No water activities, steam room, or sauna for 14 days to avoid infection and premature fading.
No makeup on the brow area for 14 days. Makeup homes a lot of bacteria and can lead to infection.
Do not pet animals or garden while healing to avoid infection.
DO NOT scrub, pick, rub or scratch treated area. Picking scabs will result in pigment loss, scarring, and delayed healing.
Several sessions may be needed to achieve goals. Building on pigment makes the treated area look better with each session. An 80% improvement is a realistic goal. Trust the process.
We recommend annual touch-ups. This is low maintenance, not no maintenance. Take advantage of our discounted "touch-ups for existing clients".
If you have excessive redness, swelling, tenderness, elevated temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site please contact your physician as the area may be infected.

IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS AVOID: Sun tanning, sunbeds, light (laser) therapy, chemical peels, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors. You should avoid laser treatments during the healing period (Fraxellaser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause inflammation. Faster fading out of pigment can happen if the client is using antibiotics or hormonal therapy. Always protect your eyebrows by using sun protection cream and avoiding the sun (not only during the first 30 days).

Failure to follow aftercare may cause loss of pigment, discoloration, and infection.

PRO TIPS:

Avoid skincare products on the brow area to avoid premature fading and discoloration.
Use oil-absorbing sheets. Oily skin is prone to premature fading and typically needs more frequent touch-ups.
Run cotton swab under water and gently wipe the treated area after applying makeup and sunscreen. Make-up makes the treated area appear lighter and ashy.
Remove unwanted hair around the treated area. Amanda at our studio offers waxing. You can direct message her HERE.
When you notice patchiness, unevenness, or fading it is time for a touch-up. You can schedule under "BOOK".
