AFTERCARE EYEBROW

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 significantly affect your microblading results or put you at risk for infection,

scarring, or loss of pigmentation!

Items you need immediately after the procedure:

- Antibacterial soap (in the pump) - Sterile gauze - Bottled water

Avoid getting anything on the brows, including water, except for cleansing as directed. Starting 30 minutes after your

procedure, please gently blot your brows every hour until bedtime, using sterile gauze and a little bit of bottled/distilled

water, to remove any excess lymph fluids. You can set the alarm on your phone to help remind you. The reminder is

critical to minimize scabbing and allow for better pigment retention!

Day 1

Cleansing: Right before bed, gently wash your brows with antibacterial soap. Use room temperature water to wet your

brows lightly. Pump a small amount of soap onto your fingertips and make suds. You should not longer feel the soap, just

the bubbles. Gently pat the bubbles on your brows for about 10 seconds. Splash rinse and pat dry with clean gauze or

tissue.

Wait 10 minutes and apply a small amount of aftercare balm by tapping it on the brows with a clean Q-tip. If they look

too saturated, use a tissue to blot the excess carefully.

Day 2-14

Repeat this washing procedure, very gently every morning and night. If you have oily skin, use aftercare balm only after

washing. If you have normal to dry skin, apply aftercare throughout the day as needed when brows feel dry. Do not

overuse aftercare. Do not pick or rub the brows. The scabs/flakes must fall off on their own, or you risk removing the

color and possibly scarring.

• DO NOT get the brows wet other than washing. 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 sunbeds. Avoid hot, steamy

showers.

• DO NOT sweat for 10 days. This means no exercising or workouts.

• DO NOT expose the treated area to direct sunlight. After healed (30 days), use a sunscreen to avoid fading from the sun.

• DO NOT apply makeup to the brow area during the healing process. After the brows have healed (14 days, OR after the

scab/skin flakes off) you may wear brow products if needed.

• DO NOT sleep on your face, try to sleep on your back. • No other products should touch the brows during healing, other

than the soap and the aftercare balm.

• Do not touch, rub, pick, or scratch your brows following treatment or during the healing process.

• If your eyebrows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a clean tissue, DO NOT RUB.

• Avoid using daily skincare products directly on the eyebrows.

• Wait 4-6 weeks before having facials/peels. Please inform the therapist of the procedure you have had.

• If you are scheduled o give blood after the microblading procedure, please inform your nurse about the microblading

treatment.

• If brows become painful, red or oozy, please see a physician. These symptoms could be signs of an infection. It is

normal to be sore and red right after, but if it persists and gets worse, this is cause for concern.

• Call or email your technician with any questions or concerns.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Initially, your brows appear more bold than usual. Over the next few days after the procedure, your brows may darken

during the healing process. Darkening is normal, and this is not the way they look after healing. Around 7-14 days, you

may notice some flaking/shedding of the skin near the brow area. Think of this is very small “scabs” falling off the skin

now that the skin underneath has healed. You may feel they appear uneven at times because of this. When the skin flakes

off, many times the microblading strokes appear very light, or sometimes it seems that they have disappeared. THIS IS

NORMAL!

Because there is still a thick layer of protective, opaque skin, creating a veil over the pigment. 

Once you go through a

skin cycle (4-6 weeks) the pigment reappears but with about 30-50% lighter than it was immediately after the procedure
