The most important thing that goes into a successful microblading/permanent makeup procedure is how well the client follows the aftercare procedure. You want to make sure to keep the area moist with Aquaphor, all day long 24/7 for at least 10 days. This will allow the color to set in and avoid oxygen from hitting your brows and changing the color while it is setting in.
Instructions:
- Do not wash the procedure for the first 24-48 hours!
- Avoid for 10 days: Makeup (on procedure area), Extreme Sweating, Swimming, Tanning, Hot Sauna, and Laser/Chemical/Botox Treatments.
- Use a cotton swab to apply Aquaphor Ointment throughout the day for 2-4 weeks (the area should never be dry).
- For the first 4 hours after the procedure, pat the procedure area with a paper towel every 30 minutes to remove excess blood/fluid.
- Do not touch the procedure are with your fingers as they may have bacteria on them and create an infection.
- We suggest Aquaphor because it tends to not cause inflammation, but if you are allergic, Vaseline will do just fine.
- Always use a “total sun block” sunscreen until the area has fully healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.
- Do not use products that contain AHA’s on the procedure area as they will fade the color (Example: Glycolic, Lactic Acids)
Additional aftercare for Lipblush:
- Ice your lips every 30 minutes on the day of the procedure to prevent bruising & swelling.
- Avoid for 1 day: tooth paste and hot foods.
- Avoid for 3 days: teeth whiteners, spicy food/drinks, lemon, salt, and vinegar. Use a straw for the following: coffee, wine, and any drinks that will stain. Wear a hat to shield the area from the sun when you go outside.
