Updated Aftercare Instructions for Microblading, Permanent Makeup, and Body Art
Proper aftercare is the key to achieving optimal results. By following these steps,
you can ensure smooth healing and long-lasting pigment retention.
General Aftercare Guidelines
1. Keep the Area Moist
Use an ointment to keep the treated area moist 24/7 for at least 10 days. This protects the area from oxygen exposure, which could alter the pigment, and ensures proper color setting.
Tip: Always test a small amount on your skin first to ensure compatibility. If you are allergic to any of these, consult your technician for additional recommendations.
2. Avoid Washing
Do not wash the treated area for 24-48 hours after the procedure.
3. Things to Avoid for 10 Days
Makeup on the treated area.
Excessive sweating from exercise or other activities
Swimming or submerging the area in water.
Tanning or direct sunlight.
Hot saunas or steam rooms.
Laser treatments, chemical peels, or Botox in the area.
Tip: Always test a small amount on your skin first to ensure compatibility. If you are allergic to any of these, consult your technician for additional recommendations.
Tips for Healing
• Apply Ointment Throughout the Day
Use a cotton swab to gently apply your chosen product. The area should never feel dry.
• Pat Excess Fluid
For the first four hours post-procedure, pat the treated area with a paper towel every 30 minutes to remove excess blood or fluid.
• Prevent Infection
Avoid touching the area with your fingers to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
• Protect the Area
Use a total sunblock sunscreen after the area has healed to prevent pigment fading.
Avoid skincare products containing AHA ingredients (e.g., glycolic or lactic acids) as they can fade the pigment.
Special Instructions for Lips
1. Reduce Swelling
Ice your lips every 30 minutes on the day of the procedure.
Use a straw for beverages like coffee or wine to prevent staining.
4. Sun Protection
Wear a hat when outdoors to shield the lips from direct sunlight.
Special Instructions for Eyeliner
1. Reduce Swelling
Ice the area every 30 minutes on the day of the procedure.

By using the recommended products and following these steps, you’ll set yourself up for a successful and smooth healing process. If you have any concerns, reach out to your artist promptly.
Special Instructions for Body Art
1. Keep the Area Clean and Moist
Wash the area gently with antibacterial soap and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of ointment to keep the area moist.
2. Avoid Scratching or Picking
Do not scratch or pick at the scabs as this can damage the design and increase the risk of infection.
3. Things to Avoid for Two Weeks
Swimming, hot tubs, or submerging the area in water.
Direct sunlight or tanning beds.
Tight clothing that may rub against the tattoo.
