Before Microblading & PMU

  • Two weeks prior to your appointment stop using any skin thinners (Vitamin A, glycolic acids, exfoliation) on the brow area.

  • Any waxing or brow shaping should be done at least 2 days before.

  • If you tint your brows, stop tinting one week prior to the procedure.

  • Cosmetic botox or fillers should be done 3 weeks prior or 2 weeks after.

  • DO NOT consume alcohol, caffeine or take any blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, Niacin 48 hours before your procedure, this will cause excess bleeding and may affect your results).

  • You may come in with how you normally draw in your brows, but bring samples of brow shapes you like to the appointment.

  • You may experience hypersensitivity and more pain around or during your menstrual cycle.

  • We will not be able to tattoo over any blemishes, sores, and moles in or around the brow area.

  • Stop taking Fish Oil 7 days before appointment.

Post Treatment

Day 1

Wait 1-2 hours and let the wounds weep lymph. After 2 hours you must wipe off the lymph with a moistened cotton pad, then apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with a cotton swab. Do this every hour on the hour until bed. At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream. 

NOTE: Too much Aquaphor will cause the pigment to scab. Aquaphor is available in the skin care section of any drug store. 

Days 2-9

Repeat the wiping of the brows at least 2 times a day. At night wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap like Cetaphil. Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap before washing your eyebrows and/or applying the post-care cream. 

 

The following must be avoided during all nine days post-microblading procedure: 

•Sweating. It is recommended not to sweat for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area. 

•Practicing sports 

•Swimming 

•Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi 

•Sun tanning or salon tanning. Absolutely No Sun, sweating, or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 

2 weeks. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your 

face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades. 

•Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face or neck 

•Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment 

•Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris 

•Spicy foods 

•Smoking 

•Drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wounds 

•Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles 

•Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab 

 

Before showering apply a layer of post-care cream to protect your eyebrows from moisture. During the shower keep your face away from the showerhead. Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post-microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear. The healing of deeper wounds might last between 14-21 days. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape-design is recommended only after this period.
