PRE PROCEDURAL INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
TRADITIONAL AND ONE PASS MICROBLADING
No brow waxing, tinting or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better).
Do not get botox 4 weeks before and after this procedure.
Do not consume caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment to prevent excessive pain and bleeding which may result in poor retention.
This includes coffee, decaf, tea, pop, energy drinks, etc.
Do not take Advil (Ibuprofen), Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E unless medically necessary, 48-72 hours prior to your procedure. Extra strength Tylenol can be taken if you have low pain tolerance.

POST TREATMENT CARE
THE POST TREATMENT CARE IS 60% OF THE FINAL RESULT; BE SURE TO FOLLOW IT PRECISELY
First Day Care: On the day of your microblading procedure, you'll need to gently wash your brows every hour and apply a paper-thin layer of balm, which I provide in your aftercare kit. This routine is crucial in preventing the formation of scabs.
First Night Care: I'll give you a special film to cover your brows on the first night. This step is to ensure that the serous fluid secreted during the healing process doesn't dry into a crust on your brows.
Daily Maintenance: Starting the morning after your treatment, you should apply a thin layer of the provided balm to your brows every 2-3 hours to keep them adequately hydrated.
Activities to Avoid:
No swimming, using saunas, or exposing your brows to steam for 2 weeks post-treatment.
Avoid exercising, excessive sweating, or any activity that causes blood to rush to your head for 1 week after the treatment.
Long-Term Care: For the best long-term healed results, it's recommended to apply SPF 40 or higher to your brows daily once they are fully healed. This helps prevent premature fading and maintains the colour vibrancy.
By following these aftercare instructions, you can expect your brows to be a bit darker for about a week post-procedure, settling into their final colour around day 7-10. Adhering to this aftercare regimen is key to the longevity and beauty of your microbladed brows.
