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
After 2 days keep brows clean by gently washing with lukewarm water and pat dry gently with paper towel
For the first 2 weeks apply very thin layer of Aquaphor healing ointment to brows morning and night for 10-14 days
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
Stay out of the sun as best as possible to prevent fading even after brows are healed (SPF!!!)
Do not apply makeup to the brow area for first 2-3 weeks
No heavy sweating, working out, tanning or facials around the area for 2 weeks
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
