Before you have a microblading treatment with us - there are a few key things you need to know. Please read through our before and aftercare information and get in touch with any questions or queries. 

 

Before Treatment

 

PhiBrows Microblading involves two steps. After 4 weeks, your brows will heal, retaining about 60%-70% of the pigment from the initial treatment. This retention depends on the products, pigments, and skill used. If you skip the touch-up, your brows will still look fine, but they won't last the full 12-24 months. The touch-up at 4-8 weeks is crucial to refresh the strokes and bring the pigment back to 100%.

 

Things to consider BEFORE microblading:

• Avoid coffee, alcohol, or energizing drinks on the day of the treatment.

• Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, or Ibuprofen 24 hours before treatment.

• Avoid omega-3 (fish oil) for 1 week before treatment.

• No tanning or intense sun exposure 3 days before treatment.

• Avoid waxing 2-3 days before treatment.

• No chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser treatments, or Botox 2 weeks before or after the treatment.

• Skin should be healthy, non-irritated, and blemish-free. I cannot work over spots or moles.

 

A Typical PhiBrows Microblading Treatment:

• If you are sensitive or have allergies, a patch test is required at least 24 hours before the procedure.

• Before the appointment, we will have a quick consultation to discuss your expectations and the results.

• I will draw the eyebrow shape using the PhiBrows golden ratio tool, ensuring it complements your face shape and size. This process involves checking the shape while you are lying down and upright to ensure it fits your facial expressions and that you are happy with the thickness, length, shape, and overall look of your brows.

• We will then choose the perfect PhiBrows color.

• Initial strokes are placed during the first pass, and then an anesthetic is applied to reduce any discomfort.

• Pigment is worked into each stroke during the second pass to better define the brows.

• We will check for any adjustments you would like, and touch up if necessary.

• A pigment mask is left to absorb into the skin.

• Once finished, I will clean the area thoroughly.

• After the service, I will apply a balm, and provide you with aftercare instructions.

 

Please Note: Results cannot be guaranteed.

If you have any of the following conditions, microblading may not last long, and details may fade faster:

• Very oily skin

• Enlarged pores on your forehead/face or acne-prone skin

• Sensitive or reactive skin

• Eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or melasma

• Very thick, dark, coarse eyebrow hair

 

If you answered yes to any of these, you may need additional appointments and/or more frequent touch-ups. A shaded brow may last longer and give better results, but results cannot be guaranteed.

 

Important:

• If you have had microblading or brow tattoos done by another artist, please get in touch before booking.

• Generally, I cannot cover other people's work unless it is faded enough. Sometimes, removal of the old tattoo may be necessary before new microblading can be done.

Apply a thin layer of the hydragel with a clean q-tip, avoid using your fingers.  

 

For the rest of the day of treatment

Repeat the above process 3-5 times a day to keep the wound clean and avoid scab formation.

• Avoid soaking or wetting your eyebrows in the shower and when washing your face.

• Apply a pea size hydra gel with a clean q-tip, avoid uvsing your fingers.

• Repeat the above process 3-5 times a day to keep the wound clean and avoid scab formation.

• When they start to show signs of scabbing/flaking approx day 7, wash and apply hydra gel 2 times a day (morning and evening)

• Continue this process until completely healed!

• Aside from the wiping & washing you do please don’t get them too wet! Always have dry towels to hand in the shower or bath to dry them if they accidentally get wet.

• Sweating is an absolute no-no, you are simply pushing the pigment out of your skin!

 

Things to avoid during the healing process

​

First Seven Days:

Do Not – apply makeup or cosmetics to your brows for 7-10 days

Do Not – pick your scabs, you will pull the pigment out.

Do not pick, scratch or peel the healing area

Do not apply any make-up or products on eyebrows

Avoid sleeping on the face

Avoid direct sun exposure

Avoid working out to prevent sweating  

Avoid water on eyebrows during showering for at least 7 days or until healed

Avoid facial massage, facial steaming, and sauna

 

In The Next 30 Days

Avoid sunbathing, solarium, light therapies, chemical peelings, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, and creams that contain regeneration factors.

 

Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel Laser, IPL), because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.

 

Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to faster pigment fading
