Microblading Aftercare

Import Notes

Please read all pages carefully to ensure the best understanding of your microblading aftercare. Microblading is a cosmetic tattooing procedure and the aftercare is crucial in achieving the best results.

The guide will also help answer questions and prepare you for the stages of healing which can a shock if not prepared.

Immediate Eyebrow Aftercare

The first 24hrs

Instantly after the microblading treatment, you may notice that your body is producing a yellow looking lymph fluid.

This is a normal occurrence of a healthy immune system and if you like, you can choose to use a fragrance-free baby wipe in a rubbing back and forward motion to remove all your lymph fluid, blood and excess ink that may form a scab.

Repeat this procedure every hour for the first 3 hours. Besides your baby wipe please do not get your eyebrow wet for the 7day healing process.

If the treatment was done late in the afternoon and you do not have time to wipe over your brows for 3 hours, don’t panic! Try to sleep on your back and protect the eyebrows from drying and wiping on your pillow overnight.

Continue Your Aftercare

The next 7 days

In the next 7 days, maintain facial hygiene. If you are finding a lot of excess ink building up, very gently dab your brows with a clean fragrance-free baby wipe once a day. Be careful not to rub your brows and simply just dab them as you could possibly rub the ink out of your freshly microbladed brows.

Rubbing with a baby wipe is only an exception on the very first day within the 3 hours.

Please use the recommended aftercare cream. LESS IS MORE when it comes to aftercare cream; you must use this as sparingly as possible.

When your brows are feeling tight, you can dab on a small amount of aftercare cream. If your brows are hydrated and not tight, do not use any aftercare cream at all.

Not To Do

What to avoid

During The First 7 Days:
Avoid all the creams, moisturizers, all make-up (foundation) on the eyebrow area. Avoid workouts that involve a lot of sweating, sauna, facial massage and steaming. Avoiding these should ensure better, infection-free and clearer feather stroked brows.

During The First 30 Days:
Avoid sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, and creams that contain regeneration factors.

Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area during the microblading healing process (Fraxel laser, IPL), as they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

Avoid the use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy because these can lead to faster pigment fading. Always protect the eyebrows from the sun by using an SPF 50 either on its own or in a moisturiser but most definitely over the brows.
