After Care Instructions

14 Days

After care is critical to the success of your procedure. It is very important to follow the instructions for the full 14 day period to ensure proper healing and pigment retention. Results vary for each client and Microblading Columbus Ohio can not “Guarantee” your results as everyone’s skin type and retention will be specific to you.

  • ​For the first hour use a water wipe to dab any lymph off of the brow every 15-20 min
  • Days 1-14 Gently wash your brows using a cotton swab with mild soap and water morning and night
  • Days 1-14 Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor with a cotton swab

Things Not To Do For 14 days

  • No sunny vacations, tanning booth or excessive UV exposure
  • No Laser Light Therapy-can darken, lighten or distort pigment
  • No running direct water on your brows-can wash out pigment
  • Nothing but mild cleanser (Cetaphil or Cerve)
  • No creams, Vasoline or Neosporin
  • No makeup, saunas, pools, steam rooms, massage, facials, or skin treatments
  • Do not exercise/sweat can infect, discolor, or prematurely fade
  • ABSOLUTELY DO NOT use Retinol Acids, AHA’s or Exfoliants near the brows-only eyes down this will fade your tattoo​

What to Expect

  • DO NOT EXPECT YOUR BROW TATTOO TO HEAL PERFECTLY AFTER THE FIRST SESSION THIS IS A 2 STEP PROCESS SOME PEOPLE MAY REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL SESSION BASED ON YOUR SKIN TYPE AND RETENTION.
  • Be patient during the 2 weeks of healing your brows will change from day to day.
  • Immediately after your brows will appear darker and more defined.
  • You may experience scabbing/itching or appear dry and flaky DO NOT PICK your brows they need to fall of naturally if scabs come off prematurely pigment can come off and cause patchy brows.
  • When scabbing comes off, your brows may appear faint a fresh layer of skin is healed over the pigment be patient give it a few weeks the strokes will become clearer.
  • Not everyone will heal clean an crisp, hair strokes for oiler types tend to heal more solid and powdery. Drier skin types tend to heal more crisp and defined.

Touch up

  • DO NOT EXPECT PERFECT RESULTS AFTER FIRST SESSION.
  • This is a two step process first session we build shape and symmetry.
  • Second Session we will perfect, add density, and can adjust color.
  • Some clients skin will have a harder time retaining pigment and may require additional sessions.

Long Term Care

  • THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS. Everyone’s results will vary due to your specific skin type and how YOU care for your brows during the 14 day healing process and long term.
  • Use at least SPF 30 to protect your brows on a daily basis, and re-apply every two hours when you are in the sun.
  • Do not use Chemical Exfoliants, Peels, or IPL – all of these will lighten and fade the brow.
