Before Care 

  • No tanning 1 week before treatment. You cannot come to your appointment with a sunburn. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the tattoo pigment with it. 

  • Do not take any blood-thinning medication (Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, or Ibuprofen) for a minimum of 3 days prior to treatment. 

  • Stop using skin thinners (vitamin A, glycolic acids, exfoliation) on the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior to treatment. 

  • To avoid excess bleeding, no alcohol or caffeine 2 days prior to treatment. 

  • No waxing, threading, tweezing, or tinting 3 days before the treatment. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks. 

  • Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle. 

  • No botox or filler 1 month prior to treatment. 

  • No antibiotics 2 months prior. 

  • Please wear the normal makeup you wear daily so we can see what your normal routine is! 

After Care 

  • During the first day, continuously blot the area with clean tissue to get any lymph off. 

  • For the first week, clean the area twice a day (morning and night). Using your fingertips, gently wash the tattooed area with a gentle cleanser. Do not use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants. Pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel. Apply a very thin layer of the ointment provided with a cotton swab. 

  • Avoid hot tubs, steam rooms, pools, long hot showers, and sweaty exercise. 

  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 3 weeks after the procedure. 

  • Avoid facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks. 

Healing Process 

Day 1: The color will look bold. The area might be red and tender. 

Day 2: Eyebrows look very dark, reddish, and appear thicker in texture. 

Day 3 - 4: Same as day 2 but a little lighter. 

Day 5: Starting to itch, still reddish. You may poke but do not scratch the area.  

Day 5-7: Skin will start flaking and there might be some peeling. 

Day 7-10: Color finishes flaking off. The color will appear light with missing spots. Hair strokes may appear “blurry”. 

Day 14 - 21: Color and definition will start to reappear.  

Day 30: Healing is complete and the eyebrows should look very natural and soft.  

How many treatments are required? 

The majority of our clients require 2 treatments to have their brows perfected. Touch-up appointments can be made 6-8 weeks after your first visit.  

Am I a good candidate for microblading? 

Microblading is not for everyone! Your age, your type of skin, your sensitivity, and the quality of your skin all come into the equation when pre-determining the safety and effectiveness of microblading. Examples of skin that is not great for MICROBLADING: aging skin, fragile skin, skin that has no elasticity, and oily skin with large pores. If you are not sure if microblading is for you, feel free to book a complimentary consultation and we will be happy to find the right brow service for you. 

Please let us know if you have any questions, we are looking forward to seeing you!
