In order to achieve great results from your Microblading procedure, we ask that you follow some simple guidelines to ensure your skin and eyebrows are healthy, non-sensitive, non-irritated and prepared for treatment.

• Do not tweeze, thread or wax your eyebrows or undergo electrolysis within one week of the procedure.
• Avoid tanning and sunburn two weeks prior to the procedure.
• Do not undergo face peels or Botox treatments within three weeks of the procedure.
• Discontinue use of Retinol and Vitamin A products one month ahead of the procedure.
• Do not take fish oil, Vitamin E or any other natural blood thinners within one week of the procedure.
• Do not consume alcohol 24-48 hours before the procedure.
• Do not consume coffee on the day of the procedure.
• Do not exercise on the day of the procedure.
• Do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief on the day of the procedure, as this thins the blood.

MICROBLADING AFTERCARE ADVICE

After your Microblading treatment, it is possible to experience tenderness, swelling, redness, dryness, itchiness and flaking on your eyebrows. This is normal and is part of the healing process. Please also be aware that your colour will appear up to 50% darker but it will fade over 4-7 days and it may take up to 4 weeks before the true colour will come through following your initial treatment. A retouch is required between 4-6 weeks after your first treatment and maintenance is recommended every 12-18 months according to your individual needs.

Initially after your procedure:

• Avoid getting your eyebrows wet for 7 days. Use a gentle cleanser for your face, avoiding the eyebrows. However, if for any reason they do get wet, pat them dry with a clean towel or tissue. Do not wipe or rub them.

• Apply a thin layer of the moisturising balm daily for 7 days (if recommended), at least twice a day using a clean cotton bud. Ensure that you wash your hands before and after doing so.

• Allow any scabbing and dry skin to naturally fall away. Do not scratch, rub or pick your eyebrows, as this could lead to uneven healing, scarring or infection.

• Do not apply topical make up to the treated area for 7 days.

• Avoid hot steamy showers/ baths, swimming and activities that involve excessive sweating for 7 days.

• It is only advised to apply Vaseline to your eyebrows after 7 days as a protector if you plan to use chlorinated swimming pools or Jacuzzis.

• Do not expose your eyebrows to extreme heat or cold for 7 days.

• Keep your hair away from your eyebrows during the first 2 days to avoid infection.

• Sleep with a clean pillowcase and avoid sleeping on your face for 10 days.

• Do not undergo facial, chemical, microdermabrasion or Botox treatments for four weeks.

• Delay donating blood for at least 6 months following your treatment. You must inform the National Blood Service of your treatment date when you next give blood.

• Contact Luxe Lashes London immediately if any unexpected irritation or discomfort is experienced.
