Welcome! You’ve just invested in beautiful brows at BrowBeat Studio Dallas

 

Advanced Microblading Experts™. The next two weeks determine how crisp, soft, and long-lasting your results will be. This guide gives you our studio’s fail-proof, step-by-step routine for the first 14 days—plus exactly what to expect from Day 15 up to Week 4. It follows the same instructions our artists provide in-studio, translated into a clear daily plan you can follow from your phone.

What’s inside:

• Supplies checklist so you’re ready before your appointment
• Exact Day 1 washing routine and how to use ointment properly
• Night-time band-aid protocol for six nights (our studio method)
• No-wash window (Days 2–10) and how to keep brows protected
• Daily do’s and don’ts through Day 14—simple, realistic, and precise
• What to expect from Day 15–Week 4, including normal appearance shifts
• When to plan your second treatment (we call it the second treatment, not a “touch-up”)

 

 

Before You Begin: Supplies Checklist

Prepare these items before your appointment so Day 1 is effortless:

• A&D ointment (provided or approved by your artist)
• Gauze or cotton rounds and clean paper towels for pat-drying
• Night-time band-aids (enough for six nights)
• Gentle facial cleansing cloths for the areas around the brows
• Disposable spoolie (optional, to lightly groom the brow hairs only—never scrub the skin)
• Sun hat for outdoor protection

 

Quick Principles That Make Aftercare “Fail-Proof”

1. Keep the area clean, dry, protected, and undisturbed.
2. Do not pick, rub, or scratch. Let natural shedding come and go on its own.
3. Ointment is a barrier, not a bath. Use a rice-grain amount each time—thin, even layers.
4. No water on the brows after Day 1 cleansing—follow the studio’s no-wash for 10 days rule.
5. Night protection matters. Wear night-time band-aids for six nights to prevent friction and dryness.

 

Day 1: The Special Wash Routine (Studio Method)

Today’s steps set the tone for the entire healing journey. Follow this exactly:

1. Cleanse the brows gently with the approved method from your artist. Pat dry with clean gauze or paper towel.
2. Apply A&D ointment in a thin layer. Think rice-grain amount split between both brows.
3. Repeat the wash–dry–ointment cycle several times through the day as instructed by your artist to remove surface lymph and keep a breathable barrier.
4. Bedtime: wash and dry once more, apply a thin layer of A&D, then apply night-time band-aids so the brows are protected while you sleep.

 

Morning after Day 1: remove the band-aids and apply A&D every 2–3 hours in a very thin layer. From now through Day 10, you’ll keep brows protected and dry.

Important: After the Day 1 routine, the studio protocol is no washing on the brows for 10 days. You may cleanse the rest of your face carefully, avoiding the brow zone. Do not allow shower water, sweat, or steam to saturate the brows.

 

Nights 1–6: Night-Time Band-Aid Protocol

 

This is a BrowBeat signature step that protects the pigment and prevents friction while you sleep:

1. Each night, apply a thin layer of A&D from head to tail of the brows.
2. Place the night-time band-aids over the brows to keep the barrier in place overnight.
3. In the morning, carefully remove band-aids and re-apply A&D every 2–3 hours throughout the day.
4. Repeat for six nights or until you use the supplied band-aids.

 

 

Do not get your brows wet. Avoid sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and activities that cause moisture to collect on the brow area.

Daily Plan: Days 2–4

• No washing on the brows.
• Apply a very thin layer of A&D every 2–3 hours. If skin feels slick, you’re using too much—dab away excess and re-apply a whisper-thin film.
• Avoid makeup on or around the brows. Keep hair products and SPF away from the brow skin.
• Sleep on your back if possible to avoid friction.
• Stay cool and dry: skip hot yoga, intense workouts, and long hot showers.

 

Daily Plan: Days 5–7

Many clients notice that the brow area begins to look dull, matte, or slightly textured during this window. That’s normal as the surface renews.

• Continue the no-wash rule.
• Re-apply A&D thinly every 2–3 hours.
• Do not pick, rub, or flake. Allow the old surface to release naturally.
• Limit sun exposure; wear a brimmed hat outdoors.

 

 

Daily Plan: Days 8–10

Brows often appear lighter or “muted” now. That’s expected. Pigment clarity improves as the skin finishes renewing.

• Maintain the no-wash rule through Day 10.
• Thin A&D application as comfort barrier, every 2–3 hours or as advised.
• Still no makeup, no exfoliants, no retinoids, and no direct water on the brows.

 

Day 11–Day 14: Transition Back to Gentle Care

By Day 11, the no-wash window is complete. The goal is to return to gentle routines without friction or chemicals.

• Resume careful cleansing around the brows. Let water run off the area; do not scrub.
• Skip exfoliants, acids, and retinoids on the forehead for at least two more weeks.
• No waxing directly over the brow skin yet. If needed, remove stray hairs around the design with tweezers.
• If brows feel dry or tight, use a rice-grain amount of A&D as needed—thinly.

 

What to Expect: Day 15–Week 4

From mid-month through Week 4, brows settle and the color “finds its place.” These changes are normal:

• Soft-focus phase: After the initial surface renewal, brows can look lighter or slightly ashy. This is temporary.
• Color return: Over the next 1–2 weeks, the clarity of the shade improves as skin clarifies.
• Shape refinement: The outline looks more natural as your own skin re-hydrates and blends with the implanted pigment.

 

 

During this period, continue to protect the area from direct sun and avoid resurfacing products on the brows. You can now wear makeup around the brows, but avoid applying products directly over the brow skin until your artist gives the all-clear.

 

When to Plan Your Second Treatment

Brows are typically 50–90% complete after the first appointment. The second treatment (not a “touch-up”) is where detail, balance, and longevity are perfected. Most clients schedule it at 4–8 weeks, depending on skin, lifestyle, and artist recommendation.

Daily Do’s & Don’ts (Quick Reference)

Troubleshooting Common Questions

“My brows look darker than expected on Day 2–3.”

Completely normal. Initial intensity softens as the skin renews. Follow the protocol and avoid adding products to “lighten” the area.

 

“I see flaking or a dull cast around Days 5–11.”

That’s part of the normal surface renewal phase. Keep the area protected, let it be, and continue the thin A&D barrier. Do not peel.

 

“The color seems lighter around Day 10–14.”

Expect a temporary soft-focus look. Color clarity improves from mid-month through Week 4 as the skin re-hydrates and settles.

 

 

“Can I work out?”

Keep sweat to a minimum during Days 2–10. If you must be active, keep the face cool and gently blot around the area—never across the brows.

 

“When can I resume normal skincare?”

Gentle cleansing around the area can resume after Day 10. Avoid acids, retinoids, scrubs, and waxing on the brow skin until your artist clears you—typically after the second treatment heals.

 

Why This Protocol Works

Our studio’s aftercare system balances three goals: barrier protection (to guard pigment and comfort), low moisture exposure (to keep the surface stable), and zero disturbance (to protect detail). The Day-1 cleansing removes surface lymph so the brows don’t crust, the 10-day no-wash window prevents water saturation, and the six nights of band-aids protect your brows while you sleep. Together, these steps help secure soft, beautiful results for both microblading and ombré shading.

 

Protecting Your Investment
