Proper home care after getting your microblading done, is crucial in achieving the best results. Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. This is the purpose of the touch up visit.


Day of Treatment: (absorb) Gently blot brows with a clean tissue or paper towel all day (ideally every 5 minutes). Before bed, gently wash your brows with antibacterial soap, cetaphil, or shampoo. Rub the area in a smooth motion and rinse with water. Pay dry with a clean tissue and lightly put a rice grain and thin layer of healing balm with a Qtip (no Neosporin) This will be given to you after your appointment. Make sure to not over saturate and let the brows breathe, the ointment should be barely noticeable. Sleep with a clean pillowcase


Day 1 to 2: Wash, dry and moisturize 3 times a day

Day 3 to 7: Repeat 2 times a day (morning and night)

After day 7, no need for ointment or washing.


Do not get treated area wet (besides washing over the sink), You can shower just do not allow direct water on to the treated area, or completely submerge in water for 1 week. Take the shortest shower possible


Keep them Dry


No sweating or exercising for 1 week after procedure


Expect area to be tender for the next few days


If a crust forms, do not forcefully remove it by scratching or abrasive washing. The pigment could be removed along with the crust. Be gentle with your brows and let it exfoliate its upper layer without your help. Some itching is normal


Do not pick, peel or scratch the treated area or your color may heal unevenly. Do not expose the area that's healing, to dirty or unsanitary conditions.


No make up is to be applied on or too close to your brows until it is healed (4 weeks)


Do not expose your healing skin to direct sun, tanning beds, hot tubs, saunas, steam, salt water, chlorinated pools, direct shower spray, skin creams other than your healing balm for 2 weeks. It is normal not to see how much color was achieved until 4 weeks have passed.


Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least 4 weeks after your brows have been done.


If you are planning a chemical peel, laser peel, MRI, or other medical procedure, please inform your physician of your microblading. Retina-A and Acids can thin the epidermis and thus make it easier for the sun to fade your brows. Certain lasers have reported to turn pigment black, so make sure your physician is aware of your natural looking tattoo so there are no unwanted surprises.


No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microderms for 4 weeks.
