Top Tip
It is also best to wash your hair on the day of your appointment. That way you can leave it at the maximum amount of time before you need to wash it again. Washing your hair can be difficult as it is very important you do not wet your brows for the first 10 days.
post-care
The healing process can be the hardest part as your brows go through four stages before they are completely healed. The total skin healing time from start to finish takes 28-42 days. Aftercare instructions result in 90% of the healed outcome. If you do not follow the instructions you will compromise your Microblading results.
Dos & Donts
For the next 10 days - do not participate in any activites ie. exercise that may cause your body temperature to rise. Blood can rise to the surface and cause you to swear, resulting in the pigment to be pushed out and blurry.
Don’t wet the area including hot steam, as this can damage the bonding process. If you do not have a detachable shower head, please have a lukewarm bath.
Don’t wear makeup directly over the area. The direct use of makeup can cause an infection. You can remove makeup from the rest of your face with a face wipe.
Apply Bepantham 2-3 times a day for 10 days. This must be done by pressing the cream onto the brow, no rubbing or sliding. It is extremely important that your hands are sterile before doing this, as unsanitary hands can cause infection.
Long term
Wear SPF over your brows once healed as the sun will fade your brows. Try not to use active skincare on your brows as this will fade your brows much faster.
