Microblading aftercare is crucial to ensure the best results and promote proper healing. Here's a comprehensive set of instructions for microblading aftercare:
Day of Microblading:
​
​
-
Avoid Touching: Do not touch the treated area with dirty hands. Only clean hands should come in contact with your eyebrows.
-
Cleanse Gently: Use a mild, unscented cleanser to clean the eyebrow area with a cotton pad or swab. Do not rub or scrub vigorously.
-
Apply Ointment: Use the provided or recommended ointment to apply a thin layer over the microbladed area. This helps in preventing infection and keeping the brows moisturized.
First Week After Microblading:
-
No Water Exposure: Avoid getting the treated area wet for the first 7 days. This includes keeping your face away from the shower stream and avoiding swimming pools.
-
No Sweating: Refrain from activities that cause excessive sweating, such as intense workouts or saunas.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning beds. Sun exposure can fade the pigment and increase the risk of infection.
-
No Makeup on Brows: Avoid applying makeup, especially on the eyebrow area, during the initial healing period.
-
No Picking or Scratching: Do not pick, scratch, or peel the scabs that may form. Let them fall off naturally to avoid scarring or pigment loss.
Long-Term Care:
-
Avoid Retinoids and Glycolic Acid: Stay away from products containing retinoids or glycolic acid on the eyebrows, as they can cause premature fading.
-
Use Sunscreen: Once healed, apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun to prevent fading.
-
Avoid Laser Treatments: Refrain from undergoing laser treatments on or around the eyebrows, as this can alter the pigment.
-
Touch-up Appointment: Schedule a touch-up appointment as recommended by your microblading artist. This is essential for maintaining the shape and color of your brows.
