Microblading-Semi Permanent Make Up (SPMU) Aftercare

For 2 to 5 days after the treatment, you may experience flaking, tenderness, dryness and itching. This is normal, and therefore, you are advised not to worry when this process happens
You should include the following into your daily routine for at least 7 days after the treatment or until the area appears healed. Use a gentle face cleanser and avoid exfoliators and perfumed/ fragranced products on the brows, patting dry very gently with a clean towel or tissue if the area gets wet
Do not expose the area to extreme heat or extreme cold temperatures until the area has healed, as this could damage the stages of the skin rejuvenating. Areas exposed to excessive UV rays may also see fading
Please don’t pick, itch or scratch the skin, as the skin is still healing. This could cause infection and/or scarring
Immediately after the treatment, your brows can appear up to 50% darker. This will start to fade in 4-7 days, and the true colour will not come through until up to 4 weeks after the initial treatment
Some clients may need to come in for multiple sessions to keep up with maintenance.
Please don’t use mascaras, eyeliners, eye shadow, fake tanning products or lipsticks during the healing stage
Hand washing is the single most important method of reducing infection. Hands must be washed before touching the affected area, reducing the risk of infection. Wash your hands in warm water and liquid soap. Always dry your hands thoroughly with a clean towel or paper towel. This should remove and prevent most germs from being transferred to the affected areas. Signs of infection: If appropriate aftercare is not followed, infection may occur

The signs of infection are:

Swelling and redness that increases around the wound
A severe burning and throbbing sensation around the site
Increased tenderness and increasingly painful to touch
An unusual discharge (yellow or green) with an offensive smell

Speak to your practitioner or seek medical attention immediately if you suffer from any of the above, have any concerns regarding infection, or have any signs of an allergic reaction to any of the products used.

Nail Treatments Aftercare

Be especially careful in the first 24 hours after application
Avoid intense heat (e.g. sauna, sun bed, hot bath)
Use cuticle oil daily. This keeps your nails nourished, stimulates growth and prevents your nails from lifting
Always wear gloves when washing up, cleaning or gardening
Wash hands thoroughly after contact with chlorine, insect repellent or sunscreen
Avoid long periods in water
Do not use your nails as tools
Never pick or peel at the product. This will cause damage to your natural nail

You may experience the following reactions after your massage. These are beneficial to your body but can be unpleasant for a short period. These reactions will diminish over time.

Aching and soreness of the muscle – this is due to the release of toxins and the body’s nerves responding to the deep massage work
Fatigue/Tiredness – caused by the release of toxins – once you have rested, you should feel energetic and refreshed
Increased urination/peristalsis (due to the body releasing toxins)
Heightened emotions – this is due to the release of tension

Other symptoms up to 24-48 hours after massage treatment:

Headaches
Dizziness or Nausea
Disrupted Sleep

These symptoms are normal and show that toxins have been expelled and the body is rebalancing. However, if symptoms are persistent after 48 hours, please seek medical advice.
