Microblading / 3D

PreCare

​

Are you ready to have Microblading/3D? Here's a list of things to help better prepare yourself for your  appointment:

​

Do not book your Microblading/3D appointment within days before a special event! You will require a few days of downtime following your initial appointment.  Please review the Aftercare page for a detailed overview of the healing process.

​

Please refrain from all activities that may cause irritation of the skin or thinning of the blood prior to your appointment:

  • Refrain from alcohol consumption 24 hours before receiving Microblading/3D

  • Refrain from suntanning, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, laser treatment, and chemical peels 7-10 days before receiving Microblading/3D.

  • Refrain from all medications that cause thinning of the blood including but not limited to: Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Niacin, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen. Please consult your physician before stopping any medication.

  • Refrain from consuming coffee and energy drink the day of your appointment.

  • If you are to receive any waxing or hair removal in the treated area, please allow a minimum of 2-3 days between your appointments for the skin to heal.

​

You must be off any and all Retin-A or Retinol products for a minimum of 7 days prior to your appointment and 30 days post appointment. These products can cause premature and extreme color loss. If you decide to continue your Retin-A or Retinol use do not apply on the treated area and please keep in mind that BrowArte is not responsible for the loss of color in your cosmetic tattoo. 

​

If possible, please attend your Microblading3/D appointment with a cleansed face. A workable surface is key to a successful session. 

​

If you receive Botox, please ensure you leave 2-3 weeks in between session to ensure it doesn't affect the overall symmetry of your new cosmetic tattoo.

​

BrowArte refrains from working on individuals on Accutane and requires clients to be off the medication for a minimum of 1 year before receiving Microblading/3D.

​

Sensitivity is heightened during menstrual cycles. 

​

Please refrain from bringing guests, if necessary, a single guest is permitted to attend your appointment. Space and maximum room occupancy is limited. 

​

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or any extreme illnesses in the past, BrowArte respectfully requires for you to have been in remission for a minimum of 1 year, and have a signed note by a licensed physician in order to receive Microblading/3D. Client safety is the first priority.

​

Note: Although I have seen excellent results achieved in a single session, it is best to come in with the mindset that an additional session is sometimes required to achieve optimal results. Touch ups give me an opportunity to see how your skin heals, review pigment retention, and make any necessary adjustments. 

Healing & AfterCare 

 

​                     

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color, more sharply defined or even have a more filled in appearance. This can last up to a week after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place. The treated area may feel a bit like sunburn afterwards but there should be minimal discomfort and minimal redness.

  • During the initial healing period, there may be scabbing, flaking or peeling of the skin. If that happens, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own. This is very important! If scabs come off prematurely, the pigment will come out with it!

  • The complete healing process takes about 4-6 weeks, at which time the true color of the tattoo is evident. During this process, your tattoo will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating.

       Microbladed/3D brows go through many phases while healing! Please read the following so you know what to expect:

​

  • DAY 1: Finely Detailed, slight redness.

​

  • DAY 2-4: They become darker and more filled in looking as they form a light scab. This is only temporary – don’t panic!

​

  • DAY 5-12: The Scab naturally exfoliates, peels and flakes away over the course of several  days. The fresh skin underneath is white and has a waxy coating, making it appear that the brows are too light. Be patient!

​​

  • DAY 10-30: After 10 days, you may use brow makeup very gently if you need it. The color will slowly come back to life and bloom back to the surface as that new, white skin settles in and heals. Wait at least 4 weeks to see the true color, as it will take on new strength, and it is only after 4 weeks that your touch-up/adjustment can be done. Your second appointment is to tighten up your shape, touch up any light spots, and also to assess how your skin reacts to the process and the chosen color. Every client's unique pigment blend is noted and can be modified if needed at a touch-up appointment.

​

WHAT NOT TO DO

  • You may shower or bathe normally, but avoid getting any harsh soaps, shampoos, water on them as this can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilize in the dermis.

  • DO NOT pick or scratch at the dry skin/flakiness; let the skin fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring and premature loss of pigment.

     

    ​IMPORTANT: Once the flakes have fallen off, a shiny layer of healing skin will completely cover the hair strokes. It may appear as though the tattooed area has completely disappeared. This is just new skin forming. Within 1-2 weeks, the hair strokes will slowly reappear at a lighter shade as your skin regenerates.

  • DO NOT apply makeup to the tattooed area for the first 10 days. Cosmetics of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your tattoo. After 10 days its fine if you need to gently apply makeup to any light spots.

​

 

THE HEALED RESULTS​

You made it! Celebrate by sleeping in a little longer each day and enjoy your new-found free time.         

 

To preserve your completely healed results; avoid over exposure to the sun, chlorine, glycol acid, microdermabrasion, and other cosmetic products that may lighten the pigment with repeated use. When getting any procedures, whether it be cosmetic or not, to your face please let the individual performing the service know about your microbladed/3D brows and continue at your own discretion. BrowArte is not responsible for any changes made to your brows by a reaction to any additional services you may receive.
