Microblading Aftercare
Please review the following list after your cosmetic tattooing appointment.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
How to Clean Your Eyebrows
Wash or sanitize your hands. Using a Phi Wipe, gently wipe the eyebrow area. Do not stretch or pull the skin. Let the area dry for a few minutes. Using an applicator, apply a thin layer of Skin Candy on each eyebrow. Be careful not to sleep on the eyebrow area.
Day 1-10 After Procedure
Oily Skin: Continue to use ointment as needed. If you feel tightness in the treated area, apply at least 1x per day.
Normal to Dry Skin: Apply a thin layer of ointment 3-5x per day.
On day 4 and moving forward, you may use your fingertip to apply skin candy. This allows you to control your pressure when applying skin candy to your brows so that no scabs or flakes prematurely push off. Make sure you have freshly washed hands and fingertips to keep sanitary.
Avoid for 2-3 Weeks After Procedure
Picking or itching any flakes or scabs that may occur during healing process
Sleeping on face or brow area
Direct water pressure as it may push of flakes or scabs prematurely
Makeup or skin care products directly on microbladed area

Light therapy

Use of hormone therapy and antibiotics can lead to faster pigment fading
Retin-A, Chemical Peels and Microderms around the area once healed
Eyeliner Aftercare
Right after Appointment
Mild swelling is normal, but a lot of clients have no swelling at all.
A clean, paper towel wrapped, cool pack can be applied for the first few hours if you wish. Ten (10) minutes on and ten (10) minutes off. Ensure that you are moving the cold pack, not just keeping it in one place. PLEASE DO NOT ICE. Following the procedure, you may find the area a little puffy for the first few mornings. A paper towel wrapped cool pack placed on the eyelid on the second day for a few minutes in the morning, along with sleeping somewhat propped up on your back will make a difference if you know that you have a tendency to swell.
Use only an artificial tears product to moisten and cleanse eye area if needed.

Lip Blushing Aftercare
Day 1:
Your skin will be releasing lymph fluid after your procedure. Wipe your lips with the wipes provided in your aftercare kit or a clean, cotton round with mildly warm water, then apply a thin layer of the ointment provided in your aftercare kit on the lips. Continue this process every few hours or as directed on aftercare sheet.
Day 2:
The lips may still be slightly swollen today. Apply a thin layer of ointment on them throughout the day to keep them moisturized.
Day 3-10:
Lips will begin to flake or peel. Do not pick any dry skin off as it may interfere with the healing process. Keep lips hydrated by using ointment on them as needed.
Follow these Instructions for best healed results:
Do not soak lips in water.
Do not apply makeup on lips.
Avoid getting toothpaste on lips as it usually has whitening ingredients in it.
All drinks must be consumed through a straw to avoid contact with lips for 7 days.
Avoid saunas, pools, hot tubs for 2 weeks.
Avoid sweating for 7 days.
Stay out of the sun or any tanning beds as your lips will lose color and/or get hyperpigmented from exposure.
Do not peel any dry skin or scabs as lips are healing.
Do not use Vaseline, antibiotic creams, or Neosporin on lips.
With any tattoo, consult a health care professional at the first sight of infection.
