Microblading
About Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances eyebrow beauty with completely natural looking results. Microblading results mimic the appearance of natural strands of eyebrow hair. By strategically tattooing each hair-like strand, the desire to enhance eyebrow shape and density is achieved. The eyebrow perfecting effects of microblading last from 1-3 years.
Before Your Microblading Appointment
Microblading results create amazing looking eyebrows, however the procedure is not recommended for everyone. To prevent any complications relating to your overall well-being, please review the requirements and contraindications below.
Proper preparation for a microblading appointment will also help to achieve the best possible healed results, so be sure to prepare accordingly. Appointments typically last 2 hours. Please come to an appointment wearing your makeup as you normally do. By doing so, it helps in communicating the desired color preference of your eyebrows or with images of how you would like your brows to be shaped.
REQUIREMENTS BEFORE
EYEBROW MICROBLADING
No alcohol or caffeine 24 hrs before procedure
No filler treatments should be done 3 weeks prior or 4 weeks after procedure
No chemical peels 60 days before or after procedure (brows will peel quicker due to chemicals traveling under the skin)
No anti-aging/acne creams, or serums containing acids as these will fade brows prematurely
Do not work out or sweat heavily the day of the procedure (Or 2 weeks after)
Do not tan or have a sunburned face the day of the procedure
No waxing or tinting 3 days before procedure
Stop taking aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, fish oil and ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure
MICROBLADING AFTERCARE
Microblading by Beauty Babe Club makes the creation of perfect eyebrows possible, but to ensure that you get the naturally beautiful looking brows you want, following the Microblading Aftercare Instructions is essential. DO NOT expect your brow tattoos to heal perfectly after the first session. This is a 2-step process. It takes time. BE PATIENT during your 10-day healing process your brows will change and appear different from day to day.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SCARRING, INFECTIONS, PIGMENT LOSS OR DISCOLORATION.
AFTER THE MICROBLADING PROCEDURE:
Absorb, Wash, Moisturize!
The day of the treatment: Absorb
Gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.
Days 1-7: 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 mild soap. 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 1-7: Moisturize
Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
Avoid using any cleansing products that contain exfoliants or acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA).
Use a clean finger to apply a small amount of the microblading aftercare ointment to the microbladed area. Do not apply the ointment unless the area is dry.
Less is more when considering how much ointment to apply; the amount applied to each eyebrow should be comparable in size to half of a grain of rice.
Microblading aftercare ointment should only be applied twice per day.
DAYS 8-14:
The aftercare ointment no longer needs to be applied, but gently wash the microbladed area each morning and night with a mild cleansing soap.
THINGS TO AVOID:
IT’S CRITICAL TO AVOID THE FOLLOWING FOR 14 DAYS AFTER YOUR MICROBLADING PROCEDURE.
Touching the microbladed area except when applying aftercare ointment.
Scratching, picking or peeling the microbladed area, as it can cause scarring and/or color loss.
Applying any makeup, moisturizer, lotion, or sunscreen to your eyebrows.
Sun exposure – sun tanning – salon tanning
Laser or chemical peels, and any other form of exfoliation.
Exercise – participating in sports and activities that induce perspiration
Long hot baths, showers, jacuzzis, saunas, and swimming.
Applying any creams to your face or neck containing retinol or glycolic acid.
Engaging in tasks like heavy household cleaning where airborne debris can become prevalent.
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, as it can cause wounds to heal slower.
Transportation in open-air-vehicles where strong wind is likely, for example; driving in cars with windows down, convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, and boats.
AFTER DAY 14:
Resume your normal activities except, continue to avoid laser or chemical peels and forms of exfoliation, and any creams containing retinal or glycolic acid until after the completion of your microblading touch up appointment, and its healing process as well.
