Aftercare for permanent eyeliner is essential to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Here are the best practices:
Avoid Touching: Keep your hands clean and avoid touching the treated area to prevent infection.
Use Cold Compresses: Apply a cold compress gently to reduce swelling and soothe the area, but do not apply ice directly to the skin.
Clean Gently: Use a clean, damp cotton pad or swab to gently cleanse the area, avoiding any rubbing or pressure twice daily.
Apply Aftercare Ointment: Use the ointment recommended by your technician, usually a thin layer of a gentle, fragrance-free product like Aquaphor twice daily.
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply any eye makeup or mascara until the area is fully healed, which typically takes about 10-14 days.
Avoid Moisture: Keep the area dry, avoiding swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating.
Sleep Position: Try to sleep on your back to avoid rubbing your eyes on the pillow.
Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Wear sunglasses and a hat when going outside.
No Picking or Peeling: Allow any scabs or dry skin to flake off naturally to prevent scarring or pigment loss.
Avoid Irritants: Stay away from products containing acids, exfoliants, or retinoids near the treated area.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support overall skin health.
Follow-Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments for touch-ups and to address any concerns.
Always adhere to the specific aftercare instructions provided by your technician, as individual recommendations may vary.

Aftercare is crucial for ensuring the best results from microblading. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you take care of your newly microbladed eyebrows:
Immediate Aftercare (First 7-10 Days):
Avoid Getting Them Wet: Keep your eyebrows dry. This includes avoiding excessive sweating and activities that might get them wet, like swimming or sauna sessions.
Gentle Cleaning: Gently cleanse the area twice a day. Avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers. Use a cleanser like cetaphil or ceravae.
Apply Aftercare Ointment: Use the ointment provided by your technician (usually something like Aquaphor) sparingly. Apply a thin layer with clean hands to keep the area moisturized twice daily.
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply any makeup on or around your eyebrows for 10 days to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
No Picking or Scratching: Your eyebrows might itch or scab, but avoid scratching or picking at the area to prevent scarring and uneven pigment.
General Care Tips:
Stay Out of the Sun: Protect your eyebrows the first two weeks from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds, as UV rays can affect the healing process and pigment retention.
Avoid Facial Treatments: Steer clear of facial treatments, peels, or any skincare products containing acids or exfoliants near the brow area.
Sleep on Your Back: Try to sleep on your back to avoid rubbing your eyebrows against the pillow, which can disrupt the healing process.
No Intense Workouts: Minimize intense physical activity that might cause excessive sweating, as it can interfere with the pigment retention. Recommended to follow these rules 4-7 days after treatment.
Long-Term Care
Use Sunscreen: After the initial healing period, apply sunscreen to your eyebrows to prevent the pigment from fading due to sun exposure.
Moisturize: Keep the area hydrated with a gentle moisturizer to maintain the skin’s health and appearance.
Avoid Harsh Products: Be cautious with skincare products containing retinol or acids near your eyebrows, as they can cause the pigment to fade faster.
Touch-Ups: Schedule touch-up appointments as recommended by your technician, usually every 12-18 months, to maintain the desired look.
Expect Changes: The color will initially be darker and may fade as it heals. Don't be alarmed by any slight color changes during this period.
Report Issues: If you notice any signs of infection (redness, excessive swelling, pus), contact your technician or a healthcare provider immediately.
By following these aftercare tips, you can help ensure your microbladed eyebrows heal properly and look their best.
