Microblading Aftercare
Here are some after care instructions on how to take care of your fresh new brows so that you may reap the maximum results.
After the procedure, the area treated will be darker and more intense, this is normal. This will last a few days until the skin heals and peels and naturally exfoliates and the true color emerges.
During the healing process, you may develop dry, or flaky and itchy skin around the treated area. This is completely normal. It is important not to rub, pick or scratch this area.
It is also important to note that even with proper aftercare, your brows can result in patches or fading spots. This is also completely normal as your body is trying to recover and reject this foreign object from your face. This is what your 12 week touch up is intended for. To replace any hair stokes lost during your initial healing process.
There are a few factors that determine how your body heals such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. However, the typical healing time ranges between 6-8 weeks.
- 30 mins after procedure: Collect the lymphatic fluid with a clean cotton round every 10 min for 2 hours.
- Before Bedtime after procedure: Do a gentle quick wash on your eyebrows. Start by washing your hands thoroughly, use luke warm water and an antibacterial soap or gentle face wash over the brows gently and quickly in a circular motion. Pat dry with paper towel. Give brows 2 mins to air-dry. Apply a thin "rice-grain" size amount of ointment. And that's it for the next 7-10 days.
- Other than the quick wash the night of the procedure, NO: water, cleansers, creams, makeup or any other products on treated area for 10 days
