WHAT'S MICROBLADING?

MICROBLADING IS A SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP SOLUTION DESIGNED TO ENHANCE YOUR EYEBROWS USING A HAND-HELD TOOL WITH A VERY FINE BLADE TO DRAW INDIVIDUAL HAIR STOKES WITH PIGMENT, CREATING THE ILLUSION OF BEAUTIFULLY SHAPED EYEBROWS. 

 

HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST? 

PIGMENTS ARE USED DURING THE PROCEDURE AND THE RESULT ACHIEVED MAY FADE OVER A PERIOD OF 6 TO 18 MONTHS. EVEN ONCE THE COLOR FADES, PIGMENTS ITSELF MAY STAY IN THE SKIN INDEFINITELY. THE RESULT OF THE PROCEDURE CAN BE AFFECTED BY SKIN CHARACTERISTICS (DRY, OILY, SUN DAMAGED, THICK OR THIN SKIN TYPE) AND AFTERCARE.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT COLOR INTENSITY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DARKER AND SHARPER IMMEDIATELY AND A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL PROCEDURE, WHEN HEALED THE COLOR WILL REDUCE BY 30%.

DO I NEED A TOUCH UP SESSION?

MICROBLADING NORMALLY REQUIRES MULTIPLE TREATMENT SESSIONS. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE 6-8 WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL PROCEDURE. IF YOU FOLLOW CLOSELY THE AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS YOU MAY NOT NEED IT. IT'S THE CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO SCHEDULE A TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT 6-8 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST SESSION. TOUCH UPS ARE FOR EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY. 

​

​

PREVIOUS PERMANENT MAKEUP 

IF YOU HAVE PRE EXISTING MICROBLADING AND IS INTERESTED IN A COVER-UP, YOU MUST SEND A CLEAR PHOTO TO INFO@BROWSARELIFE.COM PRIOR TO BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE GOOD  RESULTS FOR CASES WHERE THE PIGMENT IS STILL TOO DARK, DENSE OR DISCOLORED. TATTOO REMOVAL WILL BE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BEFORE WE BEGIN THE COVER-UP. 




DOES MICROBLADING HURT?

EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PAIN THRESHOLD HOWEVER A NUMBING CREAM CAN BE USED DURING THE TREATMENT SO YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL MUCH DISCOMFORT. IN TRUTH , THE TREATMENT FEELS LESS PAINFUL THAN GETTING A REGULAR TATTOO. PEOPLE DESCRIBE MICROBLADING AS A LITTLE MORE PAINFUL THAN WAXING YOUR BROWS.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

​

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR 14 DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE TO IMPROVE AND PROLONG THE RESULTS OF YOUR MICROBLADING. IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTIONS, IT CAN GREATLY AFFECT YOUR MICROBLADING RESULTS OR PUT AT RISK FOR INFECTION, SCARRING OR LOSS OF PIGMENTATION.

AVOID GETTING ANYTHING ON YOUR EYEBROWS, INCLUDING DIRECT WATER FOR 2 WEEKS, EXCEPT FOR CLEANSING AS DIRECTED.

AVOID LONG HOT SHOWERS, POOL, SAUNA, HOT  TUB, STEAM ROOM, HOT YOGA, OCEAN  AND TANNING BEDS FOR 30 DAYS, UNTIL IS COMPLETELY HEALED. 

NO EXCESSIVE SWEATING AND INTENSE WORKOUT FOR 15 DAYS. 

KEEP THE AREA CLEAN TO PREVENT INFECTION AND ENSURE PROPER HEALING. THAT MEANS NO TOUCHING, SCRATCHING AND PICKING THE EYEBROWS RIGHT AFTER THE PROCEDURE. IF YOU FEEL ITCHING, IT MEANS THE AREA IS DRY AND YOU CAN APPLY THE AFTERCARE BALM WITH A QTIP.

NO PRODUCTS ON THE TREATED AREA FOR ONE MONTH. THAT INCLUDES YOUR FACIAL SOAP, MAKEUP, LOTION, SERUMS, VITAMIN C AND SUNSCREEN ON THE EYEBROWS. IF DURING THE HEALING PROCESS YOU APPLY ANY CHEMICALS ON THE BROWS, YOU CAN COMPROMISE THE RESULTS, CHANGING THE TONE OF YOUR PIGMENT OR EVEN REMOVING IT BEFORE THE SKIN IS COMPLETELY HEALED.  

NO DIRECT SUN EXPOSURE, FACIAL TREATMENTS, EXFOLIATION AND  BOTOX  FOR 4 WEEKS.

DON'T SLEEP ON YOUR FACE FOR 10 DAYS. USE A FRESH PILLOWCASE TO AVOID ANY KIND OF INFECTION. DO NOT USE THE SAME TOWEL YOU USE ON YOUR BODY TO DRY THE TREATED AREA. USE STERILE GAUSE OR TISSUE. 

​

 

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT?

​

INITIALLY YOUR EYEBROWS WILL APPEAR MORE BOLD AND DARKER THAN USUAL. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE YOUR EYEBROWS MAY DARKEN DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. THIS IS NORMAL AND THIS IS NOT THE WAY THEY WILL REMAIN. AROUND 7-14 DAYS YOU MAY NOTICE SOME FLAKING/ SHEDDING OF THE SKIN. THINK OF THIS AS VERY SMALL SCABS FALLING OFF THE SKIN NOW THAT THE SKIN UNDERNEATH HAS HEALED. YOU MAY FEEL THEY APPEAR UNEVEN AT TIMES SINCE THE SKIN IS REGENERATING. WHEN THE SKIN FLAKES OFF, MANY TIMES THE MICROBLADING STROKES APPEAR VERY LIGHT OR SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE DISAPPEARED. THIS IS NORMAL! THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS STILL A THICK LAYER OF PROTECTIVE, OPAQUE SKIN CREATING A VEIL OVER THE PIGMENT. ONCE YOU GO THROUGH A SKIN CYCLE (4-6 WEEKS) THE PIGMENT WILL TYPICALLY REAPPEAR BUT WILL BE ABOUT 30% LIGHTER THAN IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE. FOR THIS REASON IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE BROWS MOISTURIZED WITH THE AFTERCARE BALM. 

A LITTLE REDNESS AND SENSITIVITY IN THE AREA IS COMPLETELY NORMAL BUT IF IT PERSISTS AND GETS WORSE, THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN. 

ALLERGIC REACTIONS CAN OCCUR FROM  ANESTHETIC USED DURING THE PROCEDURE. ALLERGIC REACTION RESPONSE MAY SHOW THROUGH REDNESS, SWELLING, RASH, BLISTERING, EXCESSIVE ITCHY, DRYNESS OR ANY SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ALLERGIC REACTION. IF YOUR EYEBROWS BECOME PAINFUL, RED OR OOZY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

​

AFTER CARE STEP BY STEP

​

ITEMS YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NEED AFTER THE PROCEDURE:

STERILE GAUZE

COTTON SWABS

BOTTLED WATER

YOU WILL RECEIVE A AFTERCARE KIT WITH SOAP AND THE  AFTERCARE BALM.

STARTING 30 MINUTES AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE, PLEASE GENTLY BLOT YOUR BROWS EVERY HOUR UNTIL BED TIME. USING STERILE GAUZE AND A LITTLE BIT OF BOTTLED/ DISTILLED WATER, TO REMOVE ANY EXCESS LYMPH FLUIDS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MINIMIZE SCABBING AND ALLOW BETTER RETENTION. 

DAY 1 CLEANSING: RIGHT  BEFORE BED GENTLY WASH YOUR BROWS WITH THE SOAP YOU RECEIVED ON YOUR KIT OR WITH JOHNSON'S GLYCERIN LIQUID BABY SOAP. USE ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER AND GENTLY WET YOUR BROWS. USE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SOAP. YOU SHOULD NOT LONGER TEE THE SOAP, JUST THE BUBBLES. GENTLY PAT THE BUBBLES ON YOUR BROWS ABOUT 10 SECONDS. SPLASH RINSE AND PAT DRY WITH A CLEAN GAUZE OR TISSUE. DO NOT SOAK THE AREA, DOING THAT YOU CAN REMOVE THE PIGMENT BEFORE THE SKIN HEALS.

IF YOU ARE WASHING THE REST OF YOUR FACE WITH YOUR OWN COSMETIC SOAP, AVOID YOUR SOAP OR SHAMPOO ON THE EYEBROWS. 

APPLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF AFTERCARE HEALING BALM BY TAPPING IT ON THE BROWS WITH A CLEAN Q-TIP. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT APPLY A LOT HEALING BALM. EXCESSIVE HEALING BALM CAN REMOVE THE PIGMENT. APPLY JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP MOISTURIZED BUT NOT OILY. 

IF YOU SEE  ANY LYMPH FLUIDS, TAP A WET GAUZE TO BLOT. DO NOT RUB THE AREA!

MAKE SURE THE BROWS ARE NOT DRY, IF YOU FEEL ITCHING APPLY THE AFTERCARE BALM.
