PMU Brows treatment Pre & Post Care
Please read and follow Pre care!!!
- These instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the procedure. Do not consume alcohol, energy drinks and caffeine 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Not having caffeine in your system will help you to relax much more easily as well as help to relax the facial muscles.
- Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, and Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before your procedure. Tylenol is OK! Also refrain from Vitamin E and Fish Oil Supplements 7 days prior to your appointment. All of these are blood thinners which will cause you to bleed excessively during your procedure. Excessive bleeding will dilute the pigment and lead to poor results. In some cases, we may have to stop the procedure.
- Do not workout on the day of your procedure
- No waxing, threading, tinting, shaving, or tweezing 1 week prior to your appointment. The more natural hair I have to work with, the better!
- No tanning 2 weeks prior
- Avoid use of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) around the brow are 2 weeks prior
- Discontinue use of Retin-A/Retinol and avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, and other invasive facials 3 weeks prior
- Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 months before the procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables. 4 weeks if you are a regular
- NOTE FOR FEMALES: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle
after care
DAY 1:
- Please wash hands with antibacterial soap before you wash your eyebrows. 30 Minutes after the treatment rinse the eyebrows with neutral soap or Phiwipes. Remove all the lymph and previously applied cream. Cleanse the skin up until you find traces of pigment or colored lymph on the wipes. In this way, the excess lymph is removed in order to prevent formation of scabs, which are otherwise devastating when it comes to pigment. After that, apply a very thin layer of Phishield candy provided or if we determine to do a dry heal you won't be applying anything to the brows.
- Repeat this procedure 3 times during the day. If the treatment was done late in the afternoon and you do not have time to do it 3 to 5 times, put a plastic foil over the eyebrows you previously applied the cream on, so that you protect the eyebrows from drying and wiping overnight.
- Microblading post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new eyebrows. Do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area during the first seven days after your microblading procedure. Keeping them dry and clean is key.
DAY 2-7:
- Keep eyebrows lightly glossed with the Skin Candy for three to four times a day for the next 6 days. Do not apply it with your fingers, use a Q-tip and do not double dip. Do not suffocate your eyebrows with overuse of ointment. It should last you for 7 days, only apply a very thin layer.
- In the next 6 days, maintain facial hygiene but rinsing of eyebrows in not needed because lymph will not be coming out any longer, however apply the cream after washing you face or having a shower. Phishield can be used on all skin types, due to its natural active components that regulate oiling.
- In clients with extremely oily skin, the aftercare (rinsing and applying the cream) is recommended only on the first day, while in the following days the client should not apply any ointment or cream. Due to the fact that each change in the skin structure (forming of light fiber tissues) prevents pigment retention in the future periods, it is very important that the skin is well healed.
WHAT IS TO BE AVOIDED:
- Do not use any Retin-A, Glycolic Acids, Peroxide, Neosporin while healing
- Do not scrub or pick your eyebrows.
- Do not expose area to sun or tanning beds! Must use hat if in the sun.
- Avoid any facials ,swimming, whirlpools or sauna for 7 days.
- Do not exercise the first 3-5 days. No heavy sweating !
- No make-up on the eyebrows!
- Do not tint eyebrows for the next 10 day
- Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading.
