MICROBLADING PRE-CARE AND AFTER-CARE
The right prep for your Microblading is crucial to get beautiful results, combined with the right aftercare. To make your treatment look its absolute best, we’ve outlined below the instructions to follow to make sure your brows heal seamlessly.
I have been a brow artist for 10 years and solely focused on Microblading for the past years. In this time I’ve tested so many methods of healing and prepping and I have consolidated all of my favorite and most successful techniques below!
Preparation
Just like a painter will tell you, it’s all in the prep. We want to make sure we have the best possible canvas to work on. Minimize any chances of bleeding or swelling, so that your hair strokes heal the best and look fabulous.
It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the Microblading procedure:
Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure
Do not work out the day of the procedure
Do not have botox 2 weeks prior to the procedure
Do not take Fish Oil/primrose oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)
Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.
Do not pick/tweeze one week before the procedure
Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:
Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
Do not consume coffee before your procedure
Do not take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood)
Aftercare
The purpose of the aftercare is to ensure the pigment bonds are as best as possible. This will prevent future unnecessary touch-ups, and help the brows last longer.
Do not get the brows submerged in water for 10 days (cleaning them gently with damp cotton is ok)
No exercise for 10 days
Apply the healing balm provided 1x per day in the morning
Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days
No Botox/facials for 2-3 weeks after your treatment
Avoid hot steam/saunas for 10 days after your treatment
The correct aftercare and pre-care will totally transform your results and make your downtime as minimal as possible, You want your investment to look the best long term, following the above will help you heal faster, ensuring that you get great results!
