Microblading Aftercare Instructions

It is essential that you follow these instructions after your microblading session:

Day 1 (Day of treatment): Wait 1-2 hours and let the wounds weep lymph. After 2 hours you must blot off the lymph with a moistened cotton pad, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with a cotton swab. Do this every hour on the hour until bed.

At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild cleanser (no exfoliating products!) Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the aquaphor.

NOTE: Too much Aquaphor will cause the pigment to scab - no more than a grain of rice amount for both brows! Your take home aftercare kit has a packet of aquaphor and a q-tip to apply it with. Aquaphor is also available at any major drug store or pharmacy.

Day 2 – 9: Repeat the blotting of the brows at least 2 times a day. At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild cleanser. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the Aquaphor.

The following must be avoided during the first 10 days post-microblading procedure:

• Sweating. It is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.

• Practicing sports

• Swimming

• Hot sauna, hot bath, or jacuzzi

• Sun tanning or salon tanning. Absolutely no sun, sweating, or tanning after the procedure for 2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades.

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

• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order 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 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

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS CONT’D

Before showering apply a layer of Aquaphor to protect your eyebrows from moisture. During the shower keep your face away from the showerhead, don’t allow the stream to point directly at the brows or over saturate them.

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 will likely subside quickly. Applying the Aquaphor properly will help minimize any discomfort you may experience.

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. You must wait at LEAST 4 weeks for the skin to fully heal to see your new brows. Only after 4 weeks can touch up occur.

If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact Katherine Kennedy via text message immediately to discuss further instructions (413) 561-0334.
