AFTER CARE
It is essential that you follow these instructions after your semi-permanent makeup session. Post-care instructions must be followed to ensure that your brows heal properly and you retain the pigment.

Day 1 (Day of treatment): Every hour (1 hour) after treatment, wash your hands, gently clean the area with a very small amount of water on a cotton pad, just barely damp, NOT wet (you should NOT be able to squeeze any water from your cotton pad). Do this every 1 hour on the day to avoid build-up of blood/lymph on the area. Don’t forget to clean right before you go to bed.

​

Day 2 (Morning after treatment): Clean your brows once in the morning and then leave them to completely dry heal. Avoid getting them wet for at least 2 weeks (especially when the brows are flaking)

​

Your eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.

​

Days 1-4: The pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin, and has not yet settled in completely. The brows may appear larger than desired, this is due to swelling. The hair-strokes WILL shrink with normal healing. The color of the pigment will soften  gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin.

​

Days 5-7: Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes, scabbing, or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the pigment is fading too quickly, however, this is just superficial colour and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

​

Days 8-12: Your brows may look as though the pigment has completely faded – do not panic – take a deep breath and trust the process.

​

Days 14-28: Your brows may still look a little patchy or uneven, but the pigment will start to “reappear” as the pigment settles and the healing continues. Any areas that do not reappear can be adjusted at your touch-up session. Once completely healed, always apply a layer of suncream SPF 30 up to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure can cause the colour pigment to fade quickly.

​

 The following must be avoided for 10 days post-microblading procedure:
