Post-Care

​

You must follow these instructions after your microblading session:
​
DAY ONE (Day of Treatment)
You must rinse your eyebrows with clean water every hour after the microblading procedure, followed by the post-care cream. Aquaphor is recommended and is available in the skincare section of any drug store. Apply the post-care cream with a cotton swab, and use no aggressive movement and/or manipulation of the skin. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream.

DAY TWO - NINE
You must apply the post-care cream on your eyebrows several times a day with a minimum of at least two times daily. Apply the post-care cream with a cotton swab, and use no aggressive movement and/or manipulation of the skin. Make sure your hands are completely clean before caring for your eyebrows.

The following must be avoided during all nine days of post-microblading procedure:

• Increased sweating

• Practicing sports

• Swimming

• Hot sauna, hot bath, or jacuzzi

• Sun tanning or salon tanning

• Any laser or chemical treatments or peeling, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck

• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment

• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris

• Spicy foods

• Smoking

• Drinking alcohol in excess as it may lead to slow healing of the wounds

• Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles

• 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 shower-head.

​

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 is recommended only after this period.
