Here are some simple tips to remember before, during and after your microblading appointment:
Before
DO pick a microblading artist who's work you like the look of
DON'T always be tempted by a low cost
DO ask your microblading artist as many questions as you need to understand the treatment
DON'T use exfoliating products, BHA's or AHA's at least two weeks prior to microblading (e.g. retinol, glycolic acid)
DO carry out your sensitivity patch test prior to microblading, and let your artist know if you have any sensitivities
DON'T drink caffeine or alcohol for 24 hours before your microblading appointment
DO arrive with your usual makeup on, and feel free to bring your makeup bag to top up after microblading treatment
During
DO be guided by your microblading artist to measure and draw a new shape for your brows
DON'T be afraid to say what you want to adjust before the microblading begins
DO expect the consultation and brow mapping (drawing) to be the longest portion of the appointment
DON'T worry!
DO relax and look forward to having new brows!
After
DO follow your microblading artist's aftercare instructions
DON't get your brows wet
DO expect your brows to darken in the next 2-5 days
DON'T touch, pick or rub your brows
DO use some balm if your brows feel tight or dry
DON'T use an other product until healing is complete
DO cleanse the rest of your face around your brows
DON'T panic when your newly microbladed brows begin to flake away and look patchy
DO give your microblading artist regular updates of your brows
DON'T partake in any exercise or activities that may produce sweaty brows and forehead for 2 weeks
DO return for your retouch 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure to perfect results
