Microblading aftercare is essential to ensure brows heal properly and achieve desired results. Strict instructions must be followed for 14 days, including gentle cleansing twice daily and applying aftercare ointment, avoiding activities that cause sweating or skin irritation, and not touching or picking the brows. After 14 days most normal activities can resume but exfoliation and certain creams should still be avoided until after the touch up appointment and healing is complete. Failure to follow aftercare can result in scarring, infections, pigment loss or discoloration.

Microblading Aftercare Instructions
Microblading from Brows by Whitney makes the creation of perfect
eyebrows possible, but to ensure that you get the naturally beautiful
looking brows you want, following the Microblading Aftercare Instructions is
essential.
***FAILURE TO FOLLOW AFTER-CARE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN SCARRING, INFECTIONS, PIGMENT LOSS OR DISCOLORATION.
AFTER THE MICROBLADING PROCEDURE:
To help minimize scabbing, use a clean cotton-ball to lightly dab the
microbladed area with distilled water a few times per hour for the remainder
of the day.
DAYS 1-7:
Wash the microbladed area twice per day followed by applying the
microblading aftercare ointment.
• At the start and end of each day, use your clean fingertips and a mild
antibacterial soap, like Cetaphil, to gently cleanse your eyebrows for 10-
15 seconds.

2. • Avoid using any cleansing products that contain exfoliants or acids
(glycolic, lactic, or AHA).
• Keep in mind the cleansing shouldn't be a thorough scrub-down, it just
needs to be done by rubbing the microbladed area in a soft, smooth
manner.
• When rinsing, be sure to rinse every trace of soap from the microbladed
area.
• Dry the entire eyebrow area completely by blotting it with a clean tissue.
• Use a clean finger to apply a small amount of the microblading aftercare
ointment to the microbladed area. Do not apply the ointment unless the
area is dry.
• Less is more when considering how much ointment to apply; the
amount applied to each eyebrow should be comparable in size to half of
a grain of rice.
• Microblading aftercare ointment should only be applied twice per day
following the washes to avoid suffocating the skin and interfering with
the skin’s natural healing process.
DAYS 8-14:
The aftercare ointment no longer needs to be applied, but continue to gently
wash the microbladed area each morning and night.
THINGS TO AVOID:
***It's critical to avoid the following for 14 days after your microblading
procedure.
• Touching the microbladed area except when washing or applying
aftercare ointment.
• Scratching, picking or peeling the microbladed area, as it can cause
scarring and/or color loss.
• Applying any makeup, moisturizer, lotion, or sunscreen to your
eyebrows.
• Sun exposure - sun tanning - salon tanning
• Laser or chemical peels, and any other form of exfoliation.

3. • Exercise - participating in sports and activities that induce perspiration
• Long, hot baths or showers - jacuzzis - saunas - swimming
• Applying any creams to your face or neck containing retinol or glycolic
acid.
• Engaging in tasks like heavy household cleaning where airborne debris
can become prevalent.
• Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, as it can cause wounds to heal
slower.
• Transportation in open-air-vehicles where strong wind is likely, for
example; driving in cars with windows down, convertibles, motorcycles,
bicycles, and boats.
AFTER DAY 14:
Resume your normal activities except, continue to avoid laser or chemical
peels and forms of exfoliation, and any creams containing retinal or glycolic
acid until after the completion of your microblading touch up appointment,
and its healing process as well.
