Immediately After

Aftercare is very important for safety, as well as producing a beautiful long lasting results.

Brows After Care 

Day 1: special instructions

• On each hour after your microblading session, use cotton swabs to LIGHTLY wipe the microbladed area with DISTILLED water.

• Rinsing the skin with distilled water will help reduce scabbing by reducing the accumulation of lymph which helps scab from forming.

• Apply after care cream before and after showers

• Make sure your hands are washed thoroughly and apply the aftercare cream with your clean finger or Q-tip GENTLY onto the microbladed area. Repeat this step throughout the first day every hour.

• If your microblading session is done in late afternoon and did not have time to apply aftercare cream at least 5 times before bedtime—make sure to wrap your microbladed eyebrows with plastic wrap after applying aftercare cream and leave overnight to prevent eyebrows from drying out and from accidental scratching

70% of the final result depends on aftercare 

• The area will feel a bit sore and will look quite intense. There may be some swelling and minor bruising that only lasts for 1-2 days.

  
  

• The next day, the color of the tattoo will darken as scabs begin to form, there may still be some swelling or minor bruising.

  
  

• The scab will fall off within 3-10 days depending on your skin and the procedure you had done

  
  

The day of treatment

Fluids will leak from the tattoo to form scabs. You do not want these fluids to sit on your tattoo and form these scabs. You will want to wipe your tattoo every hour with a wet cotton round and pat the area dry to ensure no fluids sit and form scabs. You may ice the skin if it is feeling tender or swollen after the procedure. Wrap an ice pack or a ziplock of ice in a napkin and place on the area for as long as desired.

Day 2-10

• Do not touch your tattoo with dirty fingers, remember it is an opened and healing wound. An infection could possibly ruin the tattoo.

  
  

• Don't get your tattoo too wet for too long. It will make the scabs soggy and easier to fall off prematurely. Remember, you want to keep the scabs on for as long as you can, let them fall off naturally.

  
  

• Moisturize with the recommended or provided ointment. For eyes and eyebrows only put a very sheer layer on at nighttime. For lips, moisturize as often as you like. If your skin is naturally oily let eyeliner and eyebrows heal without any ointment and remember to pat dry throughout the day with a napkin.

  
  

• Do not sleep on your face to avoid lifting your scabs prematurely and make sure you’re sleeping on a clean pillowcase to avoid infection.

  
  

• Avoid harsh cleansers, creams, makeup, or any other products on the treated area until all the scabs have naturally fallen off. These things can jeopardize the healing of the tattoo.

  
  

• Don’t pick, scratch or bite off the scabs. Let the scabs fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring, loss of pigment, or an infection.

  
  

• Do not expose your tattoo to UV rays or tanning beds for 4 weeks after the procedure. These things can alter the appearance of your tattoo dramatically

  
  

• Do not sweat on the tattoo until all the scabs have come off naturally. Sweat will take the pigment from your tattoo. If you do sweat on them, dab it off immediately.

  
  

• Do not get any facials, Botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks post appointment date.

  
  

After Scabbing Phase

• Once the scabs have completely fallen off, you may apply makeup over the area and return back to your normal routine. Note that after the scabs come off your tattoo may have a milky/grey hue to it. This just means that the surface skin is healed but the underneath layers still need time to heal. The complete healing process takes 6 weeks. At 6 weeks the true and final color of the tattoo will show. It is only after 6 weeks that a touchup to the tattoo can be done.

  
  

• Please note that your tattoo will be softer and not as crisp when healed.

  
  

• Note that results will vary with each individual and are extremely dependent on your skin and how you care for it during healing. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired result.

  
  

Once Fully Healed

• It is strongly recommended that you do not use any of the following on your tattoo: Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydrogen Peroxide, Glycolic acid, Apple cider vinegar, Vitamin E and C, and Retinol. These products can lighten or fade your tattoo faster. We also recommend wearing sunscreen as the UV rays will deteriorate the pigment and lighten or fade the tattoo faster as well. Salt water and chlorine can also deteriorate the pigment faster as well. Rinse with water after contact.

  
  

• If you are having any laser or facial beauty treatments please inform your technician before procedures that you have a permanent makeup tattoo.

  
  

• This treatment does fade after 1-3 years depending on your skin and lifestyle. Touch-ups are necessary to maintain the longevity and overall beauty of your tattoo. If you have oily skin, an iron deficiency, or a very strong immune system, your pigment will not last as long and will not heal as crisp as others.

  
  

• Coverup works may need additional appointments to have better results as it is possible that the "coverup" tattoo may not completely cover the old one.

What’s normal?

• Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness.

• Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 2-7 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. If they are too dark or still a bit uneven after 4 weeks then we will make adjustments during the touch up appointment.

• Color change or color loss. As the procedure area heals the color will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear. This can all be addressed during the touch up appointment and is why the touch up is necessary. The procedure area has to be completely healed before we can address any concerns. This takes about four weeks.

• Needing a touch up months or years later. A touch up may be needed 6 months to 2 years after the touch up procedure depending on your skin, medications and sun exposure. We recommend the touch up 30 days after the first session (included in today’s price) and every 6 months to 2 years to keep them looking fresh and beautiful. Touch up sessions after 90 days will be $150 or current touch up rate at time of touch up. **Failure to follow after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration.
