Everything You Should Know Before Your First Microblading Appointment

1 – Skip These 24-72 h Before Your Appointment

• alcohol, caffeine
• blood-thinners (aspirin, fish oil – get medical advice)
• sunbathing or tanning beds
• brow waxing, tweezing, threading
• facials, peels, laser, retinol or harsh exfoliants

2 – Arrive With Clean Skin and Natural Brows

• no makeup on or near brows
• gentle morning cleanse, no scrubs
• avoid heavy creams or oils
• let the artist examine your untouched brow shape and growth pattern

3 – Discuss Your Preferences

Your PMU artist will map brows to your bone structure and ask about:

• desired style (fluffy, defined, soft arch…)
• colour tone to match skin and hair
• allergies, sensitivities or previous procedures

4 – Remember: It’s a Two-Step Treatment

• initial session creates the shape and base colour
• a mandatory touch-up at 4 – 6 weeks perfects density and tone
• healing = 7 – 14 days of darkening, flaking, then softening

5 – Plan Around Events

Avoid booking microblading right before vacations, weddings or photo shoots. No swimming, sauna or brow makeup for at least one week post-procedure.

6 – Choose a Certified Artist

Certified technicians trained in skin analysis and hygiene follow strict Health-Canada protocols for safe, beautiful results.

Conclusion

Great brows start with great prep. Follow these guidelines and work with a qualified artist to enjoy natural-looking, symmetrical brows for months.
