Microshading & Ombre Brows

Pre and Post Care Instructions

 

Pre-Care

 

To ensure the best results and proper healing:

 

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before your appointment

  • Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood thinners unless prescribed by your doctor

  • Avoid retinol, glycolic acids, or exfoliants on the brow area for 7 days prior

  • Avoid tanning, sunburn, or chemical peels near the brow area

  • Do not wax, thread, or tint brows 10-12 days before your appointment

  • If you receive Botox, wait 4 weeks before or after your brow procedure

 

Post-Care

 

These techniques usually heal best with a dry healing approach.

 

  • Keep brows completely dry

  • Avoid water, sweat, steam, and heavy exercise

  • Do not apply makeup, creams, or skincare to the brow area

  • If brows feel tight or itchy, apply a very small amount of ointment

  • Do not pick or scratch any flaking or scabbing.
