Pre/Aftercare

Microblading + Combination + Ombre Brows (some info is also relevant for 4-8 week brow touch up and 12 month colour boost):

Microblading + Combination + Ombre Brows is a semi-permanent makeup procedure whereby pigment is deposited along the eyebrow to enhance, reshape, or create a natural looking appearance on the eyebrow. 

The success of the treatment depends on many factors such as:

  • Skin type and quality
  • Post treatment care
  • Sun exposure
  • Skin treatments/regime

All of these factors are out of the control of the artist hence why it is extremely difficult to state a time frame that the eyebrows can last.

 

PRE-CARE

  • Do not work out the day of the procedure.
  • Avoid heavy sunlight and especially sunburn 3 days before the procedure.
  • Avoid plucking, waxing, threading or any hair removal 3 days before the procedure.
  • Do not take Aspirin, Omega-3, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 48-72 hours before the procedure unless medically necessary.
  • No alcohol or caffeine on the day of the procedure.

The Following treatments should be avoided four weeks before/after the procedure:

  • Botox/Fillers
  • Laser Treatments
  • Chemical Peels 

 

POST-CARE

DIRECTLY AFTER THE PROCEDURE

30 minutes after treatment wipe eyebrows with a damp cotton pad. Remove lymph and previously applied cream.

After, pat dry and apply a very thin layer of aftercare provided (avoid using fingertips when applying).

Repeat this procedure 2-3 times during the day.

If the treatment was done late in the afternoon and you do not have time to wipe 2-3 times put a plastic wrap over the eyebrows you previously applied cream on so that you protect the eyebrows from drying overnight.

IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS

In the next 7 days, maintain facial hygiene and apply the cream after washing your face or having a shower - keep eyebrows away from water unless lymph is present.

Repeat the process above 2-3 times daily to keep the wound clean and to avoid scab formation.

WHAT TO AVOID

During the first 7 days do not pick, scratch, peel the healing area nor apply make-up or product/s on the eyebrows, avoid sleeping on the face, avoid direct sun exposure, avoid working out to prevent sweating, avoid water on eyebrows during a shower for at least 7 days or until healed, avoid facial massage, facial steaming and saunas.

 

HEALED

Brows are fully healed in 30 days. Touch up is recommended at 4-8 week mark.

Pigment duration depends on skin quality. For example the oilier the skin, the shorter the pigment lasts. 

Avoid sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, fruit acids, creams that contain regeneration factors (look out for facial serums that contain "... Acid".

Always avoid any laser treatments over the treated area as they can destroy the pigments and cause burns.

Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading.

Always protect the eyebrows from the sun with SPF (however not during the first 7 days). 

 

LIP BLUSH (some info also relevant for 4-8 week lip blush touch up):

Lip Blush is a semi-permanent makeup procedure whereby pigment is deposited into the lip to enhance, reshape, or create a natural looking appearance on the lip. 

The success of the treatment depends on many factors such as:

  • Skin type and quality
  • Post treatment care
  • Sun exposure
  • Skin treatments/regime

All of these factors are out of the control of the artist hence why it is extremely difficult to state a time frame that the Lip Blush can last.

PRE CARE:

  • Do not work out the day of the procedure.
  • Avoid heavy sunlight and especially sunburn 3 days before the procedure.
  • Avoid plucking, waxing, threading or any hair removal 3 days before the procedure.
  • Do not take Aspirin, Omega-3, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 48-72 hours before the procedure unless medically necessary.
  • No alcohol or caffeine on the day of the procedure.

The Following treatments should be avoided four weeks before/after the procedure:

  • Botox/Fillers
  • Laser Treatments
  • Chemical Peels 

It is highly recommended to seek cold sore preventive tablets from the chemist to ensure a smooth healing process.

DIRECTLY AFTER THE PROCEDURE

1 hour after the treatment pat the lips with pea size amount of water on a cotton pad. Remove any lip fluid and previously applied cream. After that apply a layer of aftercare provided. Lips can be swollen for up to 48 hours. 

Repeat this procedure 3 to 4 times during the day. If the treatment was done late in the afternoon and you do not have time to do it 3 to 4 times, put a plastic wrap over the lips you previously applied the cream on, to protect the lips from drying and wiping overnight.

IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS

In the next 7 days, apply the cream gently 3 to 4 times during the day. Lips will be sore, chapped and dry.

WHAT TO AVOID

During the first 7 days avoid any lip lipstick, lip fillers, workouts that involve a lot of sweating, sauna, water, facial treatments, sunlight and any form of cream/balm on the lip other then the aftercare provided. No steamy hot showers for 1 week. No picking/peeling scabs if they form on lips.

 

IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS AVOID

Sunbathing, lip fillers, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, creams that contain regeneration factors. Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (fraxel laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.
Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading. Always protect the lips from the sun with SPFs (not during the first 7 days).
