Before and After
THE NEED TO KNOW...
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
-PLEASE DO NOT SHAVE brow hair before your appointment. Your technician can shape your brows for you, but if you prefer to get threaded, waxed, or tweezed please do so a minimum of 3 days prior as to not over irritate the skin. Grooming can sometimes nick the skin in which case we may need to reschedule if it will hinder the results. We work with your natural brow hair and can remove any unwanted hair for you at your appointment.
-Please bring in photos of what you like so you and your artist have a clear understanding of what your eyebrow goals are. A 70-80% brow improvement is a realistic goal.
- Do NOT take any medication that can thin the blood (i.e.: ibuprofen, aspirin) 24 hours before the procedure.
- No caffeine (i.e.: coffee, soda, etc.) on the day of your appointment. Caffeine causes a spike in blood pressure which can lead to more bleeding during the procedure and hinder the end result.
- No alcohol within 48 hours of your session to avoid excessive bleeding, which will push out the pigment and can cause unnecessary scabbing.
- We recommend getting botox 1-2 weeks prior to microblading so the muscles have settled.
- No strenuous workouts for a week after the procedure. Sweat can cause infection and alter the color.
- Avoid steam rooms, sauna, pools, jacuzzi, and any water that can cause infection for two weeks after each appointment.
- Avoid sun exposure/tanning 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after each appointment. Sun exposure can cause fading and color change for all tattoos and permanent cosmetics. All of our techs are trained in color correction if any alterations need to be made.
- No children during the appointment for their safety.
WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
HOW WILL THE HEALING GO?
-The healing process takes 5 weeks. You must wait 5 weeks between appointments to make sure pigment has resurfaced and to avoid causing scar tissue.
-Brows will look dark and intense the first week or so because the pigment is on top of the skin. Color typically lightens an average of 40% or 2 shades lighter when the new skin heals over.
-Any redness or swelling will go away within 2-3 hours. There is no downtime.
-Between days 2-10 (everyone heals differently), the blood will begin to coagulate which will make the treated area appear darker.
-Typically between days 4-10 when the flaking has subsided, the brows will look very light and can appear patchy. This is like when the scab falls off and the wound appears to have a white/pinkish hue. This is the new skin regenerating. Once that skin matures the pigment will begin to resurface.
-After 5 weeks if it hasn't resurfaced to your liking or hair strokes flaked off while healing it is recommended to schedule a touch up between 5 weeks-3 months of initial application date to perfect the brows.
Some clients experience no scabbing or patchiness, we just like to inform our clients of all possible outcomes as to not be alarmed. The healing process is just that, a process. Everyone's skin heals differently so it is important to follow aftercare instructions given by your technician and be patient with the process. Absolutely no picking, scratching, and avoid stomach/side sleeping while healing.
-You will start to notice a softer and more natural-looking results week 4-5 of healing. You can schedule a retouch if needed from 5 weeks on from your last session.
-Microblading is a process... like going blonde it is better to do it gradually as to not do damage and have a better end result.
In some cases, you will need additional touch-ups to achieve brow goals. If your skin type does not retain the ink well there are different ink options for different skin types and/or you can add the powder fill option. Any adjustments in color, shape, and strokes can be made at the touch-up.
