We will NOT be able to perform microblading on your eyebrows if any of the following conditions exist:

 

• Pregnant

• Breastfeeding

• Non-Compliant Diabetes. You must heal well and adhere to your doctor recommended diet and medication.

• If any skin diseases, symptoms, or irritation appears on the eyebrow- such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, scabies, ringworm, acne, allergic reaction, boils, wounds, severe scaling keratosis, damaged capillaries.

• Directly after botox treatment

• If you are using accutane, isotretinoin or other strong retinoids (after 6 months it is allowed)

• If you are suffering from a sunburn or frostbitten

• 48-72 hours after waxing must have passed.

• After a strong chemical peel, dermabrasion, immunotherapy, or any other intense skin resurfacing treatment. This will cause the skin to be irritated and must be stopped 2-3 weeks before the treatment

• Raised moles and other skin derivatives on the brow area. Moles do not take pigment so the mole will still remain and we will work around the area.

• If you are allergic to lidocaine, please notify your technician because it is the numbing agent we use. Lidocaine is commonly used as your numbing agent while at the dentist.

• Notify your technician if you have ever had any type of treatment done to your brow area. If you had previous permanent make-up done, it has to be very faded to the point of almost no detection in order to achieve optimal results. If there is still green, blue, or red tones to your previously botched permanent make-up procedures from the past, it will most likely need to be removed by laser from a trained professional before attempting microblading. Please send a picture to your technician to help determine severity.

• Due to the patented techniques and to keep a sterile environment, no other person or animal is allowed in the room during the procedure.

• An appointment will only be made once a retainer of $100 is made. That $100 will go towards your service. This is to respect our time and to ensure against "no-shows".

 

Failure to inform us of any of the above conditions prior to your appointment, will result in forfeiting your retainer. We want to ensure the best results and satisfaction.

 

Before Your Arrival:

 

• To avoid excessive bleeding, please avoid blood thinners:

​Do not consume alcoholic beverages the 24 hrs. before

No caffeine the day of procedure

Please refrain from consuming pain relievers/killers unless directed by your physician.

Please stop any fish oil or biotin one week prior to arriving.

• If you normally draw your eyebrows, please fill them in prior to the appointment and wear your makeup the way you normally would 

• It is recommended that you shower before your procedure.

​

Aftercare:

 

I love a good acronym so here’s one to help you out, just think of:  A - W - M which stands for Absolutely Wonderful Make-up or better yet:  Absorb, Wash, and Moisturize!

 

The day of the treatment: Absorb

After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped.  Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

 

Days 1-7: Wash

Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (Don't worry, THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.  

 

Days 1-7 Moisturize

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. NEVER put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

​

AWM should have you covered, but here are some extra tips to help with a smooth and easy recovery:

 

Important Reminders

 

• Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.

• Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.

• No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

• Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure.  Wear a hat when outdoors.

• Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.

• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.

• Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,

• Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.

• DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

• ​

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine, you will have much better results with your microblading procedure. Don’t forget your new favourite acronym: AWM - Absorb, Wash, Moisturize!

 

Important note about showering:

Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower.  Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.

 

WARNING: In extreme cases- long exposure to chlorine, exfoliation creams, and exposure to the sun will cause colors to fade.

 

Failure to follow post-procedure instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration or infection. We do not offer refunds on service already performed.
