Aftercare

Abra-ca-dabra! You have brows! What do you do now? The healing process can be gentle and rewarding for your ink retention if you follow the instructions you were sent home with carefully. As a reminder:

  • NO Picking or scratching at scabs, DON’T sleep on your face. (Avoid Infection)

  • NO getting them wet for anywhere between 10 days-21 days. (Until brows are done scabbing)  This includes shower, sweating, sauna, hot tub, hot baths ETC.

  • No direct sunlight while scabbing. Wear a hat.

  • NO MAKEUP, LOTION, FACE WASH, SERUM, OIL, SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER ETC can touch them while scabbing. After that, avoid all products on them that include active ingredients (acne or anti aging products)

  • Avoid sleeping on your face

  • Do not apply makeup to your brows until scabbing of brows 100% have fallen.

  • Hats are encouraged during the healing period to avoid direct sunlight. (sunny days)

  • After your brows have healed fully at the 28day mark, maximize your pigment retention by using sunblock on your brow area daily.

  • Do not get botox until 30 days after the treatment.

  • Products that are meant for lightening, brightening, or evening skin tone/anti-aging, usually contain glycolic, lactic, AHA, and retinol acids will fade your pigment quicker.

  • Vitamin E and Vitamin C can fade your pigment as well.

 

*If you are not experiencing any dryness, tightness, itchiness, or uncomfortability around your brows through the scabbing period, applying aftercare products such as ointments or oils are not necessary as your brows will heal naturally. ​

***Understand that your new brows are fresh cuts. For the first couple days, you will see them get darker and thicker. Some clients experience flaking, scabbing, and itchiness in the first 2 weeks. Some clients feel nothing at all. Once this phase is over, your brows will go into a period where it will look like the strokes and shading have disappeared. usually the brow will heal itself and the pigmentation will reappear. Once the healing period is fully over (30 days) it is then when we have the touch up appointment to restroke and reshade the faded areas. Permanent Eyebrows are always a two step process. It's suggested to have your touch up 6-9 weeks after your initial appointment. Microblading can last for up to 1-2 years, but your annual touchup should be done with at least 40% retention. Ombre Powder can last up to 1-3 years, touch ups are done if 40% of retention is still there. If there is less than 40% retention, both services will be considered a new appointment.

***** If brows begin to bruise and swell, you may have an infection. Please consult your doctor ASAP.
