Things to consider Before and After Microblading or Permanent make up?

Before Microblading / Semi Permanent Make up

• Before starting the procedure book a consultation with technician- Do not book the treatment without consultation. The PMU artist will never book appointment without cosultation 

• Avoid consuming alcohol 48 hours before microblading appointment 

• No other mind altering substances 24 hours before appointment that can affect the decision making process (Drugs, Marijuana etc)

• Wash body and hair day of your treatment (before appointment). Avoid getting the treatment area getting wet with forced water.

• Plan ahead so that there are no important events/meeting 3-5 days after treatment as you should be avoiding all makeup usage during that time. The fresh Microblading or Powder brows can look very bold and intimidating. It will be noticed by anyone very easily.

• Avoid too much caffeine to minimize bleeding which can affect the final result. Having Coffee right before the treatment can cause access bleeding. And that can affect pigment absorption by skin. Results patchy look.

• Avoid saunas, swimming and excessive sweating until area is completely healed. Arround 3 weeks

• Keep hair away from brow line. Keep them tied or clip them up.

• Apply medicated cream or healing balm provided by technician 

• Only use the products prescribed by your technician. If product is finished, contact your artist.

• Avoid picking or scratching flakes and scabs. Picking them results loosing ink from the treatment area

• Exposure to uv and uva rays or Chemicals ( can cause a shift in colour and re mature fading ) 

• Avoid preforming tasks related to heavy household cleaning where there is a dust or powder. It can infact the treated area.

• Avoid drinking excess alcohol ( lead to slow healing wounds ) 

• Avoid driving in open air vehicles like convertibles, bikes, boats and motorcycles for 2 weeks.
