Microblading, MEDICAL TATTOOING & PERMANENT MAKEUP Aftercare

HEALING: WHAT TO EXPECT

The process you are about to go through is known as the HEAL. PEEL. FADE. process.
Of course, it’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is different and therefore each individual person will have a slightly different experience when following microblading, medical tattooing and permanent makeup aftercare advice.
In some cases, the process may be slightly quicker and in others may take a little longer.

DAYS 1-7 (HEAL) – The area begins to dry out, forming a light crust.

DAYS 7-14 (PEEL) – The crust begins to flake away.

DAYS 14-21 (FADE) – The new skin underneath looks light and the colour looks faded.

DAYS 21-28 (RESULT) – The new skin heals and you begin to see the healed result.

Day 1

OMG I LOVE MY RESULTS! THIS IS GREAT!
WEEK 1

HMMM. IT'S STARTING TO LOOK REALLY DRY AND DARK. I MUST REMEMBER TO KEEP IT CLEAN & DRY!

THINGS TO REMEMBER DURING MICROBLADING, MEDICAL TATTOOING & PERMANENT MAKEUP AFTERCARE:

Healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet. Please let me know if you are ill for more than a few days during the healing period so I can allow more time between your initial procedure and your follow up.
Keep in mind that in many cases, during the two week microblading, medical tattooing and permanent makeup aftercare period, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. Your enhancement may not be finished and will likely take a further application to complete the full treatment.
Loss of some eyelashes during the healing process is a possibility. Lost eyelashes will normally grow back within a 4 month period. (Eyeliner Only)
If you suffer with cold sores at present or anytime in the past use an anti herpes medication for example Zovirax, 5 times daily for a period of 1 week. If an outbreak does occur it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process. (Lips Only)

LONG TERM MICROBLADING, MEDICAL TATTOOING & PERMANENT MAKEUP AFTERCARE:

Use a moisturiser/body cream with built in SPF to protect your enhancement daily.
Use a good sunscreen in hot weather, ideally factor 50 wear sunglasses in hot weather to avoid premature fading of your results. Sun exposure will fade your results prematurely.
Avoid applying anti ageing skin care directly on the area, these have been known to prematurely fade results.
If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please tell the technician that you have a cosmetic tattoo.
Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you will not be eligible to give blood for 4 months.

LIFT & EMERGENCY LIFT AFTERCARE:

Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a salt saline lightening product service like Lift or laser. Please be patient and give the process time to work. Expect visible results in 2 to 5 sessions. How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be removed for the desired result. In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process by colour correcting covering tyhe old work. In cases where there is migration or poor placement, colour correction will not likely be an option and removing as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal. Results cannot be foreseen, predicted or guaranteed.

Emergency removal can be performed within 48 hours of an unwanted result. Once 48 hours has passed you will need to wait at least 8 weeks before removal can be attempted.

Keep the area clean and dry during healing
Use the saline provided to gently cleanse the are twice per day for 10-14 days
Allow the scabs to form and flake away by themselves. Do not use the balm provided until all scabs have flaked away
Do not pick peel scratch or rub the area during healing under any circumstances – approximately 14 days. PIcking will cause scarring
After 10-14 days you may use the provided Microbalm to help the area heal
Please make an appointment for a check up 4 weeks after an emergency removal to evaluate results and devise a future treatment plan
Allow 8 weeks in between future sessions

Where do I start. I held out for a while getting my eyebrows microbladed and really did my research because I wanted someone I could trust, and someone I knew who would do an amazing job and Sara… didn’t disappoint. In fact, she exceeded my expectations. Sara made me feel so safe and welcome. To start with, all the safety provisions put in place post Covid are very professional and very thorough and at no point did I feel at risk. But the eyebrows.. I cannot thank Sara enough for the absolutely beautiful brows she has given me. She was so careful and really listened to what I wanted but also offered her professional advice and the results. She’s a lovely lady and the whole experience was such a positive one, i highly recommend her to get your permanent make up done!!read more

If you want a perfectionist for any treatment it would be tattooing your face…. I have just had my brow re-touch with Sara and I am thrilled with the result. Totally professional and extremely… thorough. Sara takes her time to explain everything and makes sure that you are 100% happy with what she is doing. The colour and shape of my brows are perfect (No exaggeration). I Could nt go anywhere else. She is super talented and clearly loves what she does.. Thanks Sararead more

When I first met Sara my eyebrows were a mess; not because they were over plucked or bushy, but because they had already been microbladed and were uneven and the pigment had turned grey.Thankfully… after a consultation Sara agreed to take me on as a client and shortly after we began the correction process. After almost 5 months I am over the moon with how they look.Sara has been professional, supportive and informative throughout the whole process and I am so glad that I contacted her.read more

Wow. Sara is amazing at what she does. I have been thinking of having my eyebrows microbladed for well over a year. But with something so permanent and on the face I wanted to be sure I was doing… the right thing. A friend had recently had the same procedure who then recommended Sara to me. And after seeing my friends results I immediately booked an appointment. Upon arrival of the clinic I was welcomed to a huge reception room that was very clean airy and comfortable. Upon meeting Sara I immediately warmed to her. She was so welcoming and friendly. Sara talked me through the procedure and any anxiety I may have had disappeared. Sara spent a while perfecting the desired shape and once happy got to work. Its apparent Sara is a perfectionist and aims to deliver only her best work, she ensured I was ok throughout the procedure. Sara is a true professional and its clear she loves what she does as she was as excited as I was when I looked into the mirror to see my AMAZING NATURAL eyebrows. After a thank you hug Sara ensured I understood the aftercare. I’m extremely excited to attend my follow up appointment and see my final results. Thank you Sara. Xxread more

To say I was nervous, would be a huge understatement. I remember driving to the salon, thinking I am going to turn around and go home, stuff the upfront monies. Well, I walked in and the salon… reception was a large bright airy room, very inviting with large black sofas. This lady, who I later realised was Sara looked up, with a bright smile (instantly putting me at ease). Sara was professional, acknowledged my apprehension and reassured me. Spent ages ensuring I was happy with the shape. Explained what she was doing. She washed her hands and used a sterile dressing pack. This lady knows her stuff. The only thing left to say; I LOVE MY BROWS! They are super natural looking. Sorry for the long review; which BTW I NEVER leave reviews, ever! But, credit where credit is due. I would recommend this professional to anyone. Thank you so much, Sara. ��read more

Amy Sharp

2017-06-28T20:47:41+0000

Sara is absolutely amazing! She is a true professional and works utter magic. My eyebrows were so fair and sparse that it looked as though I didn’t have any. I was fed up with pencilling them on… daily, and so decided to have them tattooed on but I was incredibly nervous about having them done in case they went wrong or the result didn’t suit me. Sara, however, put me at ease instantly, and I knew I was in good hands. The results were amazing and 2 years on, I’m still thrilled with how they look. I highly recommend her, her work is amazing!read more

Im not on Facebook, however I really felt I needed to review this lady coz she’s so good at what she does…..so I’ve borrowed my mums page to rate her! I was concerned about getting my eyebrows… tattooed for so long as I just felt it’s on your face & if I didn’t like it then it’s too l8! However after meeting with Sarah initially she instantly put me at ease & the reason for that is her confidence & knowledge. Sarah drew them in first & measured them out precisely, just from that I knew I’d like them once completed. I’m also a bit of a wimp when it comes to needles, however I can honestly say when Sarah first started it just felt like she was drawing them on! I couldn’t believe how painfree it was (due to the anaesthetic), the anaesthetic obviously wears off during the process & when it starts to get a little uncomfortable Sarah reapplied the anaesthetic & started again. On completion I felt as though my face was transformed (for the better!), they look brilliant. The reason I wanted them done is I needed a little reconstructive work due to uneven eyebrows, I opted for combination brow. Great value, great end result, Sarah is lovely & I couldn’t recommend her more!!!! I’ve had so many compliments. Thanks Sarah I’m so happyread more
