Pre-Care and Post-Care Instructions for Microblading, Lip Blushing, and Microneedling

Pre-Care and Post-Care Instructions for

Microneedling, Microblading & Lip Blushing

Achieving flawless, long-lasting results from your beauty treatments at Bonito Beauty Bar starts with proper pre-care and post-care. Follow these essential tips to ensure your microblading, lip blushing, or microneedling experience is safe, effective, and leaves you looking your best.

Pre-Care Instructions for Microblading

Avoid Blood-Thinning Substances

Refrain from consuming alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil supplements at least 48–72 hours before your appointment. These substances can thin the blood, increasing the risk of bleeding and affecting pigment retention.

No Caffeine or Tea

Avoid caffeine or tea 24 hours before your procedure. These stimulants can heighten sensitivity and interfere with the process.

Do Not Wax or Thread

Skip waxing or threading around your eyebrows for at least 3 days before your microblading appointment. This helps prevent irritation in the treated area.

Stop Retinoids and Exfoliants

Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating products two weeks prior to your procedure to avoid skin sensitivity.

Avoid Sun Exposure

Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure for at least a week before the appointment. Sunburned skin is not suitable for microblading.

Skip Chemical Peels, Fillers, and Botox

Do not undergo chemical peels, dermal fillers, or Botox in the eyebrow area for at least 2 weeks before your session.

Consult About Medications

If you are taking prescription blood-thinning medications, consult your healthcare provider and microblading technician about possible adjustments.

Communicate Allergies and Concerns

Share any allergies, skin sensitivities, or specific concerns with your PMU (permanent makeup) artist prior to the procedure.

Pre-Care Instructions for Lip Blushing

Hydration is Key

Keep your lips hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.

Avoid Blood Thinners

Avoid blood-thinning medications, vitamins, or supplements (e.g., aspirin, fish oil) 72 hours prior. Consult your doctor if necessary.

No Coffee or Alcohol

Do not consume coffee or alcohol 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bleeding and bruising.

Protect Your Lips

Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for two weeks before the procedure.

Pause Resurfacing Treatments

Discontinue the use of retinol, chemical peels, lasers, or microneedling treatments on the lips for at least four weeks prior.

Avoid Lip Fillers

Refrain from getting lip fillers within six months before your lip blushing session.

Cold Sore Prevention

If you’re prone to cold sores, take prescribed antiviral medication as directed by your doctor to prevent outbreaks during healing.

Post-Care Instructions for Microneedling or Micropigmentation

Keep the Area Dry

Avoid getting the treated area wet for the first three days. Use a damp cotton pad to clean around the area if needed.

No Touching or Picking

Refrain from touching, picking, or scratching the healing area to prevent infection or pigment loss.

Apply Ointment (if Recommended)

Use the aftercare ointment provided by your technician as directed to keep the area moisturized.

Avoid Makeup

Do not apply makeup on or around the treated area for at least 10 days to prevent irritation or infection.

Avoid Sweating and Swimming

Steer clear of intense workouts, saunas, hot tubs, and swimming for 7–10 days to allow the pigment to settle.

Protect from Sun Exposure

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. Use SPF after healing to protect your skin.

Avoid Harsh Skincare Products

Do not use retinol, acids, or exfoliating products on the treated area for at least four weeks.

Healing Process

Some scabbing, flaking, and lightening of the treated area are normal during the healing process. Allow scabs to fall off naturally—do not peel them.

Follow-Up Appointment

Book a touch-up session 4–6 weeks after your initial procedure for optimal results.

Post-Care Instructions for Lip PMU (Blush)

Keep Lips Clean and Dry

Avoid getting your lips wet for the first 24–48 hours. Use a damp cotton pad to gently clean around the area if needed.

Apply Aftercare Ointment

Use the provided aftercare ointment as directed to keep your lips moisturized and promote healing.

Avoid Touching or Picking

Do not touch, lick, pick, or peel your lips during the healing process. This helps prevent scarring and uneven pigment retention.

Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products

Refrain from applying makeup, lip balm (other than the aftercare ointment), or skincare products on your lips for at least 10 days.

Avoid Hot, Spicy, or Salty Foods

Stick to mild and cool foods to avoid irritation. Use a straw to drink beverages during the first few days.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated from within, but avoid licking them.

Protect from Sun Exposure

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks. After healing, apply SPF to protect your lips and maintain the pigment.

Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

Do not smoke or consume alcohol during the healing process, as these can slow healing.

Healing Process

Expect some swelling, tenderness, and scabbing for the first few days. Allow scabs to fall off naturally without peeling.

Schedule a Touch-Up

Book a touch-up session 6–8 weeks after your initial treatment to refine and perfect the results.

By following these comprehensive pre-care and post-care instructions, you can ensure safe healing and achieve stunning, long-lasting results. At Bonito Beauty Bar, your beauty and satisfaction are our top priorities!
