Aftercare

• The strokes may ‘disappear’ before the top up session, this is completely normal and most will show up once more in time for the second session. *You may worry you are rejecting the pigment, this is completely normal – don’t panic.
• The colour is up to 50% darker straight after the treatment. It will fade after 4-7 days and the true colour will not come through until up to 4 weeks after initial treatment. During the healing process, the colour may seem to have disappeared or appear patchy, as it is obscured by the healing skin. This is normal and it will return.
• Additional treatments cannot be undertaken until the area has completely healed. A 4 week healing time is required before any more work can be undertaken.
• Keep the area clean by using a cotton bud with distilled (boiled) water only, once every day.
• If showering within 24 hours please try and avoid the water jets hitting the treated area.
• Try to avoid the gym, sauna or pool for 24 hours.
• Once the area has healed completely, approximately one week, consider using a waterproof total sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the colour fading.
• Strong chemicals or glycolic acid/peels of any kind may cause the pigment to lighten.
• Do not pick or pull at the treated area as it will result in pigment loss. You will go through three healing phases: 1-heal, 2-peel and 3-fade. This is where the second session is extremely important – it reinforces the pigment.
• We recommend dry healing. If you wish to apply make-up we suggest you purchase new products to avoid cross infection/contamination.
• Giving Blood – The Red Cross have suggested that you do not give blood for 6 months following treatment.
• MRI Scans – This procedure shows up as an artifact on the scan. Some clients may experience a tingling sensation. Please notify your radiologist.
• Injectables – Dermal fillers and Botox can alter the shape of the eyebrows. Injectables should be carried out at least 2 weeks after a Microblading procedure.
