🥳 :The day of your procedure: 🥳
The following are the steps needed to achieve maximum healing results.
Instructions are in-order of steps. Each step will show on what day to stop that particular step.
The day of your procedure is day 1.
( unless otherwise specified )
After your Microblading/Micro+Shading/Powder or Ombré brow procedure, gently blot the area with the supplied non-woven gauze to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes or until weeping/oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph fluid, ( scabbing )
Days 1 & 2: Ointment & Wash:
-
Step 1.
Gently wash the treated area 2 hours after your procedure and before bed with tepid water and the supplied antibacterial soap. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the affected area. Very lightly rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with tepid water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with the clean gauze and wait 5 minutes to ensure the area is dry
-
Step 2.
Apply a rice grain amount of the supplied Aquaphor ointment with a clean cotton swab or clean fingers and spread it across the brow area. IF YOU HAVE BROW HAIR, ‼️ PLEASE ‼️ MAKE SURE TO GO AGENST THE HAIR GRAIN as-well as with the grain of the hair when applying the Aquaphor, this ensures the ointment is on the skin under your brow hairs. 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 tattooed skin! Always Re-Apply if dry and after
-
Repeat washing and Aquaphor on day 2. Remember to dry the brows after each washing by gently patting are area with the clean gauze and wait 5 minutes to ensure the area is dry before re-applying the Aquaphor.
Days 3 - 14: Moisturize:
Gently apply the supplied Tattoo Goo healing moisturizer 4 to 6 times daily for 14 days. This helps the new delicate tissue heal nice and hydrated so the color can shine through 😍
Stick to these simple steps during your healing and you will have amazing results.
