For the first 48 hours after service, keep your eyebrows dry! More details when you scroll down this page.

Please note!

Very Important consideration

Around the 2 week mark after your microblading procedure and when you are done shedding, your pigment will appear much lighter, cooler/ashier (almost milky looking). This occurs due to the natural skin exfoliation cycles. It is common for your pigment to essentially "reappear" between 4 to 6 weeks.

At 30-40 days is when your pigment will be at its final "resting phase" (as I call it). This is the best time to critique your brows. You should not critique them any sooner. Additionally, it is common to have some areas fade more than others. This can be easily treated at a touchup appointment. Some clients hold pigment better than others, every result is individual. Picking, scratching, rubbing and harsh wiping can also compromise your results. Please follow the aftercare instructions 100%! Remember, permanent makeup is an art, it is not a science. :-)

Day 1 to 2

Your skin will be red underneath where the pigment has been implanted. Your brows will be roughly 15-25% darker, more solid and more bold than your actual healed result. You may experience minimal swelling.  

→

Day 3 to 4

→

Days 5-7 

Your skin is now exfoliating at a faster rate. Pigment color will finish flaking off and will appear much softer and greyer for about 4 weeks until the color clarifies (hits its resting phase.)

→

Days 30-40

Your brows are finished shedding. They have went through the "Heal, Peel and Fade" process. The pigment color is now a part of the dermis underneath the epidermis. This is the best time to critique your brows to determine if you will need or want a touchup.  

The top layers of your skin underneath your brows will start to shed. At this time you will start seeing some color loss. This is completely normal and expected during the healing process! If they begin to itch, AVOID scratching or picking at them or you may experience less than desired results! 

Touchup Procedures

to get the best results...

Schedule touchup visits for a minimum of 8 weeks post-procedure to avoid scarring and allow the pigment to fully process.

The procedure area takes a minimum of 8 weeks to heal.
It is recommended to book your touchup appointment at the same time as your initial appointment to ensure availability.

For eyebrows: Booking a perfection appointment is the client's responsibility. If scheduled longer than 6 months post-initial procedure, a colorboost fee will be charged due to the increased work required.

Perfection appointments are done 8 weeks to 6 months post-initial procedure. Touchup appointments are first come, first served.

Use a sunblock after the procedure area has healed to prevent further fading of the pigment color.

Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at the area during healing to prevent compromising the healed results.

Remember, all procedures must heal, peel, and fade, which may take up to 10 days.

The color will look 15-25% darker for the first 10 days due to blood and lymph in the procedure area. It will appear much softer once healed.

06

Avoid Aloe Vera and homeopathic/natural products until completely healed, as they can pull the color out of some clients.

Retin-A or Retinols, AHA's, Vitamin A, or similar lightening, anti-aging, and peeling products should be avoided at least 1 week prior and 30 days post-procedure.

Products can migrate under the skin, affecting the procedure area. This includes facial cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, etc.
