BEFORE CARE      

• Do NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary, 48-72 hrs prior to your procedure. Tylenol is fine.

• Do not work out the day of the procedure as the body heat expands the pores.

• You MUST be off Retin-A or Retinols for 7 days prior to your appointment and avoid using on or around the area for 30 days after. If used before 30 days, it can cause the pigments to fade prematurely. If you resume the Retin-A or Retinols after the 30 days, please know that the continued use will fade your permanent makeup prematurely.

• IF YOU USE BOTOX, IT SHOULD BE PERFORMED EITHER 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED PROCEDURE OR 2 WEEKS AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE.

• You have to be off Accutane for 1 year. NO Exceptions!

• If you have oily skin, your results WILL appear softer (eyebrows can look solid) in appearance and may require additional procedures.

• Dark Skin types please note that your permanent makeup will not appear as bold as lighter skin types. (Indian, African American, Filipino, etc.)

• No brow waxing for 3 days prior to Microblading.

• Avoid alcohol or caffeine prior to the procedure, this will minimize any oozing or swelling after the procedure.

• Getting a procedure while on your menstrual cycle can make you hyper-sensitive at the procedure site.

• If there are any blemishes, pimples, active cold sores, irritation of the skin of any kind, moles or other skin imperfections in or around the area of the procedure, We WILL NOT be able to do the procedure until the blemish or area of concern is gone or the mole is removed and healed.

• PERMANENT MAKEUP WILL NOT BE PERFORMED IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING!!!!

 

 

AFTER CARE

• Dry healing for 12 hours after Microblading.

• Next, apply Aqua-phor ointment for 3-5 times a day for the next 8 days.

• Avoid sleeping on your face during the 1st 10 days after the procedure.

• Absolutely No Sun, sweating, or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 10 days. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades. If you show up to your appointment with a sunburn, you will be required to reschedule and your deposit will be forfeited.

• Avoid direct shower water on the treated area after the procedure. Absolutely NOTHING on the treated area….no makeup, lotions, pencil….etc. for 10 days.  After the 10 days, use a gentle cleanser to clean them. Avoid scrubbing the treated area.

• No swimming until the area is completely healed, salt water/chlorine can cause the pigments to fade or change in color.

• Only touch the treated areas with squeaky clean hands. DO NOT RUB, SCRATCH OR PICK AT THE TREATED AREA. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and loss of hair strokes. Plan on scheduling your touch-up within the first 6 months.

• SLEEPING:  The first thing to consider is your first couple of nights sleep.  Do not lie directly on your brows.  In other words, try as much as possible to sleep only on your back the first few nights.  Also, sleep with your hair pulled up.  Avoid your hair touching your brows, as hair often times has bacteria in it that you do not want on your brows.

• DON’T PICK SCABS:  Over the next couple of days, your tattoo will look good and any redness should go away. Then you will notice that it will start to look duller and can even form a little white haze to it. You may see some scabbing form as well, or mild flaking.  This is all normal.   One of the most important things to remember…. DO NOT pick at any scabbing, PERIOD!!!!
