Aftercare Advice- Absorb.Wash.Moisturise.
Please follow these instructions after the treatment to improve and prolong the results. If you do not follow these instructions it could greatly affect your microblading results.
I will apply a thin layer of cream over your eyebrows after the treatment. This helps the healing process and protects the eyebrows. I will give you a small pot of this same cream to take home with you.
The day of the treatment: Absorb
30 minutes after your appointment wipe over your brows with damp cotton wool to absorb any lymph and apply a small amount of the the aftercare cream using a clean cotton bud. Repeat this process every 3-4 hours for the rest of the day.
Apply your PhiBrow patches before going to bed.
Days 2-7: Wash
Wash daily to remove bacteria and dead skin. (Don't worry....THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)
Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants.
Days 2-7: Moisturise
Apply a rice grain amount of the attercare cream (morning and night) with a cotton bud and spread it across the treated area once cleaned and fully dry. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The cream should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the cream on a wet or damp tattoo.
Important Reminders
Use a fresh pillowcase.
Let any scabbing/dry or flakey skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of colour.
No facials, botox, chemical treatments, laser treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.
Avoid heavy sweating and long hot showers for the first 10 days.
Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
Avoid swimming and hot tubs for the first 10 days.
Avoid makeup and sunscreen on the area for first 10 days. After 10 days however, do apply an SPF to your brows to avoid fading.
DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area.
Avoid products that contain acids, such as AHAs and BHA's, around the eyebrow area.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SHOWERING:
Limit your showers to 5 minutes so you do not create too much steam. Keep your face out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet at the very end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
