Microblading is a transformative semi-permanent makeup procedure that enhances the natural appearance of your eyebrows. While the results are stunning, the healing process is also important to understand in order to achieve the best outcome. At MH Aesthetics in Eugene, we guide you through each step of the microblading journey to ensure a smooth experience.
What to Expect During the Healing Process
The healing process after microblading typically takes 4-6 weeks. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect:
Days 1-3
Your brows will appear darker and more defined than normal. These are commonly expected steps in the process as the pigment begins to settle. Swelling or redness may occur but subsides quickly.
Days 4-7
The brows may begin to scab or flake as the skin heals. Avoid picking at the scabs to prevent uneven pigment retention.
Weeks 2-4
Your brows may appear lighter as the skin regenerates. This is temporary, as the pigment settles and becomes more vibrant.
Week 6
A touch-up session is often recommended to refine the shape and fill in any areas where pigment may have faded.
Optimal Healing Procedures
- Keep brows dry: Avoid getting your brows wet during the first week, including exposure to sweat, steam, or water.
- Apply aftercare products: Use only recommended ointments or balms to aid healing and prevent infection.
- Avoid harsh products: Steer clear of makeup, exfoliants, and strong skincare products near the brows during healing.
