Before and After Your Appointment

The secret to long-lasting semi-permanent brows and lips is proper aftercare! Follow these steps to get the best and most beautiful results.

When you’re ready to schedule your appointment, please keep in mind you’ll go through a healing process. Plan accordingly, especially if you have a vacation or big events coming up!

Eyebrows

  • Appointment Prep

    • Eat! The appointment is about 2-3 hours long depending on your service, so make sure you take care of your needs beforehand
    • Do your regular brow routine so I can see how you do your brow makeup

      Microblading Specific
    • No caffeine for 24 hours and no alchohol for 48 hours before your appointment (these thin out your blood)
    • No strenuous exercise the day of your appointment

  • Aftercare Daily Routine

    I'll provide aftercare products.

    For the first 10 days:

    1. Wash your hands before applying your brow aftercare 
    2. Wash your eyebrows once in the morning and once in the evening OVER THE SINK (outside of the shower)
    3. Gently add soap and warm water to each brow and swipe away in the direction of hair growth (no circular motions or rubbing back and forth)
    4. Rinse thoroughly—cup hands with water and rinse by splashing brows until all of the soap is removed
    5. Dry each brow by gently dabbing them with a clean piece of gauze
    6. After drying, apply a ½ grain rice amount of ointment to each brow (do not goop it on)

  • Tips for Proper Healing

    • Avoid direct sunlight for 10 days. If you need to go outside, throw on a hat!
    • Do not get your brows wet (other than washing them) for 10 days
    • Avoid swimming, heavy sweating, saunas, etc.
    • Do not drench your eyebrows in the shower (wash over the sink)
    • Do not touch, scrub, or pick your brows
    • Do not sleep on your face
    • Do not put any products other than the ointment on your brows for 2 full weeks
    • No facials, botox, or chemical peels for 2-3 weeks
    • Once healed, do not put any active ingredients on them (anti-aging and anti-acne products)

Microblading: Healing Stages

After your appointment: Your eyebrows will be a little red from the procedure.

Days 2-3: Expect your eyebrows to look dark. They will fade as they heal.

Days 5-7: Your eyebrows will start to scab, flake, and peel off. Everyone’s healing process is different, so your eyebrows may start peeling earlier or later, depending on your skin type.

Days 10-20: It might look like your eyebrows fully faded, but they will resurface!

Days 25-30: Your eyebrows will start to resurface.

Day 40: Your eyebrows will be fully healed and ready for a touchup.

Nano Brows: Healing Stages

After your appointment: Your eyebrows will be a little red from the procedure.

Day 2: Expect your eyebrows to look dark. They will fade as they heal.

Days 3-4: Your eyebrows will start peeling. Everyone’s healing process is different, so your eyebrows may start peeling earlier or later, depending on your skin type.

Day 10: Your eyebrows will be done peeling. Again, this can vary by a few days from client to client.

Day 14: Your eyebrows will start to resurface.

Day 40: Your eyebrows will be fully healed and ready for a touchup.

Lips

  • Appointment Prep

    • Eat! The appointment is about 3-4 hours long, so make sure you take care of your needs beforehand
    • If you have a lipstick, gloss, stain, or liner color you want to mimic, please bring them to your appointment for color inspo
    • Exfoliate a couple of days before your appointment to keep them hydrated (you can do an at-home honey and sugar scrub)
    • If you get lip filler, do not get any 2-3 weeks before your appointment. Wait at least 2-3 weeks after your appointment to get filler
    • If you've ever had a cold sore (even just one!) you need to take Valtrex 2-3 days before your appointment and 2-3 days after

  • Aftercare Daily Routine

    I'll provide aftercare products.

    For one week:

    1. Apply ointment to your lips all day, every day
    2. You can get your lips wet as usual (brushing your teeth/washing your face) but gently pat them dry

  • Tips for Proper Healing

    • Use ice to reduce swelling within the first 24 hours
    • Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks. If you need to go outside, throw on a hat!
    • Avoid swimming and heavy sweating for # days (need to confirm if this is true)
    • Drink through a straw and avoid spicy and salty foods for 72 hours
    • Do not touch, scrub, or pick your lips (they may feel itchy, but that’s normal!)
    • No facials, botox, or chemical peels for 2-3 weeks
    • Use ointment or gel to keep your lips hydrated until they’re fully healed

Lip Blushing: Healing Stages

After your appointment: Expect your lips to look bolder and brighter right after the procedure. Your lips will feel slightly swollen and tender.

Day 2: Your lips will appear darker, may still be swollen, and feel tight and dry.

Days 3-4: Your skin will start scabbing and flaking, and the color will begin fading. The color will fade 50-60% during the healing process.

Days 5-6: Your lips will start to feel normal with little to no flaking.

Day 7: Your lips will be completely healed, and the color will look much lighter than the day of the procedure.
