PRE/POST CARE

PRE-CARE

• No Alcohol, Caffeine, Ibuprofen, Fish Oils and Adderal/Stimulants 24 hours prior to procedure to prevent excess bleeding

• Avoid all blood thinners

• Must stop use of Retin-A for 2 weeks

• Can't be on Acutane for 9 months

• Botox done 2 weeks prior to treatment

• Waxing/Threading and Tinting done 3 days prior 

• I prefer to use as much hair as possible so if you're comfortable I highly recommend letting your brow hairs grow out 

• Do not come to your appointment with a sunburn, breakouts on/around your forehead and brow area

• Stop use of harsh skincare products(glycolic, AHA, salicylic acid) chemical peels and laser for 2 weeks 

• Not pregnant or nursing

• Consult with doctor if any medical conditions present

​

​

AFTERCARE

• Always have clean hands when handling your microbladed eyebrows

• Avoid washing brows with facial cleansers for first week

• Rinse your brows daily with warm water only 

• For the first 2 weeks apply very thin layer of Aquaphor healing ointment to brows 2-3x a day 

• Avoid all skincare products on your brows for the first 2 weeks to prevent premature flaking and fading

• Do not pick/scratch your brows during the flaking process, allow everything to flake naturally to prevent poor healing

• Avoid direct sun while healing. Stay out of the sun as best as possible to prevent fading even after brows are healed (SPF!!!)

• No swimming in any pools/oceans

• Do not apply makeup directly to the brow area for the first 2 weeks 

• Avoid heavy sweating/working out for 1 week (low intensity workouts only) 

​

PLEASE NOTE:

• Yours brows will appear darker and more sharply defined for the first few days.

• Swelling and redness is none to minimal and will be gone within 24-48 hours

• Once the flakes have fallen off the brows will appear much lighter and look as though the brows are gone, this is normal. The hair strokes slowly reappear as a lighter shade during skin regeneration

• Total healing time is approximately 6-8 weeks
