BROW POST PROCEDURE
Day 1: Relax
For the first 24 hours, let brows relax and do nothing.
Days 2-7: Wash
Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don’t worry, this does not remove the pigment!)
Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like cetaphil or neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean cotton pad. Do not use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or aha), or exfoliants.
Days 2-7: Moisturize
Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your microblading procedure. We cannot guarantee results if you do not take care of your brows.
Important note about showering
Limit your showers to 5-8 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area. Do your best to avoid soap or water running over your brows other than the initial cleanse
