Microblading Pre-Care
Pre-Care Warnings
Microblading cannot be accomplished if you pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you are diabetic, you will need to provide a doctors note.
If you previously had microblading done, they will need to be at least 50% faded. Please text a picture of your previously microbladed eyebrows to Andrea @ 478-442-0745.
Pre Care Instructions
It is EXTREMELY important to refrain from all alcohol, aspirin, or aspirin products, such as blood thinners.
Refrain from Ibuprofen and Aleve for 24 hours prior to your
appointment. The only product for aches and pain that will not make you bleed is Tylenol.
Refrain from Vitamin E and fish oil capsules for 7 days prior to your application.
ALL of these make you bleed excessively.
Excessive bleeding during the procedure will negatively affect the longevity of your semi-permanent makeup application. In some cases, the application will need to be prematurely stopped.
Avoid
Avoid energy drinks and coffee for up to 24 hours before your appointment.
Not having caffeine in your system will help you to relax much more easily, as well as help to relax the facial muscles in the areas we will be working on.

Microblading After-Care
Treat your new tattoo as an open wound. Keep it clean. Do not touch the healing procedure with dirty hands!
Before cleaning the tattooed area, wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Do not rub with washcloth.
As it heals, expect peeling like sunburn skin. Do not pick scabs. Itching is to be expected. DO NOT SCRATCH THE PROCEDURE!
The following must be avoided during all 14 days post-microblading procedure:
- Increased sweating
- Make-up or creams other than skin candy
- Swimming
- Hot sauna, hot bath, or jacuzzi
- Sun tanning or salon tanning
- UV/UVA rays or chemicals as they have been known to cause a shift in color or premature
fading - Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams contain Retain-A or glycolic
acid on the face or neck - Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the
area or removal of the pigment. - Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris.
Day 1 ( day of treatment):
30 minutes after treatment, use aftercare wipe. Gently wipe in the direction of hair growth.
Do this every 3 hours until bed to avoid build-up of blood/lymph on the area.
After wiping, apply a thin layer of skin candy using a cotton swab.
Sleep on your back to avoid rubbing eyebrows too
during sleep.
Day 2 and 3
Gently wipe the area with a small amount of sterile water on a cotton pad in the morning and in the evening.
Be extra careful not to rub the brows hard, tug or scrub the brows.
After wiping, apply a thin layer of skin candy.
Brows should not appear greasy, glossy, or shiny… if they do,
you used too much.
Do not use aggressive movement/manipulation of the skin, be gentle.
Make sure your hands are clean before touching your brows.
Day 4-14
Finish wipes, wipe once in the morning and once in the evening and follow up with skin candy.
Once you run out of wipes, go back to the day 2 and 3 routine of using the cotton pad and sterile water then you may apply an extremely thin layer of skin candy (brows should not be greasy, glossy, or shiny… if so, you used too much.

What to expect during and after your microblading session
Expectations
Entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks depending on your body regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. The pigment will appear very natural looking immediately after the procedure.
The color of the pigment will appear darker the next day.
-Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period (peeling), brows might appear lighter than when freshly done. This might give you the impression that color is fading too quickly.
Often even with proper care, clients may lose original hair strokes which make brows look uneven or too light. It is absolutely normal. That’s the reason why most clients need a touch up after 6 weeks.
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.
The final look of your eyebrows will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure.
Consult a health care provider for:
1. Unexpected redness, tenderness or swelling at the site of the procedure
2. Rash
3. Unexpected drainage at or from the site of the procedure
4. Fever within 24 hrs of the procedure
