BEFORE CARE

We need a great and smooth canvas (your eyebrow area) to achieve amazing results.

​

The eyebrow area needs to be strong, healthy, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. For best results the before care must be adhered to. 

 

Here are our tips to prepare your skin for the procedure:

​

  • Do not tweeze/wax/pick/perform electrolysis 7 days before the procedure

  • Do not tan or have a sunburned face two weeks before

  • Do not have a facial two weeks before the procedure

  • Do not work out the day of the procedure

  • Do not have BOTOX less than 2/3 weeks before the procedure

  • Do not take Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil 48 hours before the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)

  • Do not wax or tint your eyebrows at least 1 week before the procedure.

  • Do not consume ALCOHOL 48 hours before your procedure (a blood thinner) numbing products will not work if there’s alcohol in your system

  • Do not drink CAFFEINE on the day of your microblading procedure (thins your blood)

  • Do not take any ASPIRIN or IBUPROFEN (Advil, Motrin) at least 48 hours before your appointment (they act as blood thinners). Please note a lot of allergy medications also contain blood thinners.

  • Discontinue Retin-A at least 4 weeks prior (longer the better) and avoid on eyebrow area 3 weeks post procedure. This ingredient significantly thins your skin.

  • Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior and avoid on eyebrow area 2 weeks post procedure. 

  • Must not be on antibiotics at time of service.
