Understanding the facts of the post care process.

Microblading post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new eyebrows. Failure to follow after-care instructions may result in scarring, infections, pigment, loss or discolouration. This applies to our Ombre Powder Brows, Microblade Brows and Microblading and Shading Brows.
DAY OF THE MICROBLADING PROCEDURE:
To help minimize scabbing, use a clean cotton-ball to lightly dab the microbladed area with distilled water a few times per hour for the remainder of the day.
DAY 1-7 AFTER TREATMENT:
Use aftercare cream once or twice daily from around the 3rd day when they start to dry out and tighten. You want to use the cream just to keep the skin soft; but your main focus with brows is to clean them.
Remember your selected colour will be stronger and more sharply defined immediately after your treatment.
Keep in mind that many cases, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. This is the purpose of your follow up appointment allowing us to fine tune your enhancement. Follow up appointment are recommended and are £50.
