  • Brows will be up to 40% darker the next few days after initial microblading.
  • Once the scabbing period is over, you will experience the "milky effect" which will look as if pigment completely dissapears. The skin will continue to heal over the next three weeks and will pull the pigment back up to the skin
  • 6-12 week perfecting touch up is scheduled



Is the perfecting touch up necessary?

The perfecting touch up is always recommended. Microblading is a two step process. The first session creates the shape while the touch up adds most of the detail and density. Correction to any loss of strokes or color can be achieved during the perfecting touch up session by giving the brows more life and a much more fullness. Touch ups are not recommended after the annual touch up. This is why it is important to not let the brows fade too much.



What are some of the risks involved with microblading & permanent cosmetics.

Semi Permanent makeup carries known and unknown complications and consequences associated with this type of procedure included but not limited to infection, scarring, inconsistent color, spreading, fanning and fading of the ink. The actual color of the pigment may be modified slightly due to health, tone and color of the client skin. This is why it is very important to follow our after care instructions.



How often do I need to return after the first two sessions of Microblading?

On average clients return once a year for an annual touch up. If you are happy with your retentions, wait until you need to refresh your strokes.

Healing & After Care

Immediately after the session:

 

Eyebrows will look very defined and darker than the final results.  Redness and tenderness is common for the first 12 hours.  Color will gradually become darker for the next two days before micro-scabbing falls off and the dead skin cells shed. Once cell renewal occurs, brows will look lighter and start to develop their true color.

​

What is to be avoided:

 

During the first 7 days all the creams (except for the protective one), all make-up (foundation) in the eyebrow area.

​

  • DO NOT WET BROWS FOR 7-10 days

  • No Make up or (foundation)  in the eyebrow area.  

  • DO NOT Touch brows with your hands.  You have open flex and need to keep bacteria out.

  • It is ok to apply a small amount of Aquafore to the brow area to help with cell renewal.  

  • Apply aquaphor to brow before showering to keep water from entering beneath the skin.

  • Do not scratch your brows.  If itchy, it is ok to dab lightly using a clean tissue to help with itching discomfort.

  • NEVER PICK OFF SCABBING.  If you do not allow scabbing to fall off naturally, this will cause color pigment to com out and look uneven.

  • NO SWEATING, SUN, HOT SAUNA or outside running for 10 days. Avoid workouts that involve a lot of sweating, facial massage and steaming – inhalation.

​

​

Day 1-2 The Eyebrows are approximately 40% darker and bolder than they will be once they are healed.  Your skin will be pink or red under the pigment which will cause the color of the pigment to look much darker.  Redness and swelling will subside.  

 

Day 3  Eyebrows might start to itch and may appear to look much thicker in texture.  Scabbing exfoliating will begin.

 

Day 4-5 The skin’s dead cells will begin to flake and peeling might begin around the edges of the brows.

 

Day 5+ Color will finish flaking off and appear much lighter and softer.  Allow for the color to fully develop. 

​

 

In the next 30 days:

Sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors.

 

Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (fraxel laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

 

Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading. Always protect the eyebrows from the sun with SPFs (not during the first 7 days).

 

A complimentary touchup sessions will be done 4-6 weeks after your eyebrow microblading session to touch up any loss of color.  Client is responsible for scheduling their appointment.  If apportionment  is not scheduled by client or client misses appointment they will lose the complimentary touch up session. 

 

​

Maintenance

​

As a general rule, the patient should expect to book a maintenance appointment every 12-18 months.  With that said, some factors will effect fading more quickly for some verses others.  These factors include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Not taking proper care of procedure area after treatment.

  • Sunbathing or using sun beds.

  • Using Retin A creams, or any other products that contain AHA’s, Glycolic or Vitamin A.

  • Certain skin treatments such as laser treatments, microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

  • Certain skin conditions and or excessively dry/oily skin types.

  • Specific medications which are known to cause increased fading.

  • Excessive use of alcohol.

  • Swimming in chlorinated pools
