Aftercare

DAY 1 & 2_ Using a clean cloth press the brows firmly to remove any lymph or blood. Do not rub- just press.

DAY 2 to 5_ Read instructions and apply AfterInked in the PM for the next 4 nights.
First, wash your hands with soap and water before touching your brows. Then, using tepid water and fingertips, gently rinse brows with water. for 5-10 seconds. To dry your eyebrows all you need to do is gently pat them with a clean tissue or cotton round and let them air dry for approximately 10-15 minutes. Please make sure NOT to use any cleansing products that contain acids (glycolic, lactic or AHA) or exfoliants.

Then on dry brows, apply a rice grain amount of the aftercare ointment you were given after your session. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin, so a rice grain amount will be plenty. When you apply the healing ointment, make sure that your brows are dry as you never want to put the ointment on a wet or damp.

DAY 6 to 10_ Using the instructions above, apply AfterInked in the AM and PM for the next 4 days.

SHOWER__ Keep your face directly out of the shower stream and keep a clean, dry paper towel on hand to pat dry brows if they get splashed. Also keep showers brief, as too much steam can harm brows as well (and it’s good for the environment!)

WASHING FACE__ When washing your face, use a washcloth or disposable cleansing wipe to wash only the lower part of your face- eyelashes down. Keep your brows dry.

SKINCARE__ Nothing on your forehead and brows. No sunscreen, lotion, skincare, makeup. Nothing. No. Don’t. Stop.

WATER__ No heavy exercising or sweating for at least 10 days post-procedure. If you want the best color and detail retention, this is crucial. Don’t go swimming, get too much sun, or spend time in saunas.

DO NOT use Vaseline, Neosporin, or other petroleum-based products while healing.

DO NOT bleach, tint or dye the microbladed area for one month following the procedure.

DO NOT thread, wax, or use hair removal products on the treated area while healing.
