Before & Aftercare Instructions.
Please review the Before & Aftercare Instructions below before booking a microblading appointment with Mila.
Once you have booked an appointment, you will be emailed your consent forms to fill out prior to the appointment.
MICROBLADING BEFORE-CARE
Microblading procedures normally require multiple sessions to acheive desired results. A touch up is typically done between 4-8 weeks after the initial appointment.
Be prepared for the color intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will slowly subside and become softer as the skin heals. This process can take up to 2 weeks, sometimes more.
NO alcohol 24 hours before procedure.
Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure.
Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, or Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure.
Discontinue Retin-A at least 2 weeks prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).
Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).
Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 weeks prior to procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables.
No brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!
Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 4-weeks prior to procedure.

MICROBLADING AFTERCARE
Follow the instruction below for the next 7 days or until scabs are completely gone.
• After 48 hours, apply A&D ointment 1-2 times daily.
• Keep eyebrows dry (avoid them being submerged in water for too long; ex. Swimming or sauna. A quick shower or washing face is fine, just avoid the eyebrow area)
• No exercising, tanning, waxing or threading.
• No makeup, eyebrow pencil, lotion or other facial products on the eyebrows.
• If necessary, use an eyebrow pencil to touch up after eyebrows heal completely.
What to expect (days may vary for everyone):
• Immediately after: shape may appear uneven due to swelling
• Day 1 – 3: eyebrows will appear darker and thick.
• Day 4 – 7: eyebrows will be dry and itchy. Do not scratch, rub or pick at them. They may start to scab, crack or flake off. Eyebrows will look patchy and uneven during healing process. It is absolutely normal and crucial to leave them alone. Please DON’T PANIC.
• Day 7 – 10: scabs should be all gone (some can take up to 3 weeks) Sometimes eyebrows will appear as if there is no color. The remaining color has absorbed under the layer of skin and in the following week it will resurface as skin cells repair.
• Week 3 – 4: eyebrows will appear their true color. Eyebrow might still look patchy or have an uneven shape.
• Week 4 – 6: come back for a touch up. Any small corrections can be made at this visit.
Please Note:
Subjective effect on different individuals, e.g. skin types that affect the attachment of color. Most clients will need two sessions; some will only need one and some will need a third touch-up to complete the look at an additional charge.
Failure to follow after care instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration.
