50% OF THE OUTCOME OF YOUR PERMANENT MAKE-UP PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWING PRE-CARE & AFTER-CARE CORRECTLY
Microblading
AFTER-CARE:
​
Day of treatment:
- Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do every 5 min. throughout the day until oozing has stopped.
Days 1-14:
- WASH: Gently wash your procedure area each morning and each night with water and antibacterial soap. Use your fingertips to gently cleanse, use a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water to ensure all the soap is rinsed away. Do not scrub, gently wash! ( This will not remove any pigment, this step is crucial to prevent infection!) Pat dry with clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids or exfoliants!
-
MOISTURIZE: Apply a rice grain amount of ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure to to over-apply as this can suffocate your skin and deal healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin!
​

Apply ointment on lips several times throughout these days to keep moist at all times. Avoid spicy & salty foods, and drink through a straw. After each meal gently rinse and clean lips with water and pat dry, then reapply ointment. Lips will begin and end the peeling process throughout this week, and the color will lighten by 30-50%. Don’t pick or peel at you lips, let peeling happen naturally! Continue keeping the lips moist

​
AFTER-CARE:
​
Day 1:
-
Color is approx. 30% darker than when it will be healed. It is also slightly larger, this is due to color oxidation as well as swelling, this is normal and will go down as it heals.
Days 2-3:
-
Your color will darken temporarily as the pigment oxidizes and thin scabs will form. You may wakeup with puffy eyes, you can remedy this by sleeping on an incline or applying cool compress. Your eyeliner will feel tight and dry but shouldn’t be painful!
Days 4-7:
-
Allow healing and peeling to shed naturally. It will begin flaking until there’s not scabbing left. Once scabbing has finished flaking it’s common for color to appear lighter. Over the next few weeks the full color will return to the surface.
-
At 6 weeks your eyeliner is fully healed and you’re ready for a touch-up! ​
