WHAT TO EXPECT DURING HEALING
The entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks depending on your body regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. Itching and flaking may appear during the first 7 days post-microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by strictly following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear. The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton pad/swab, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin. Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally exfoliated from your eyebrows. The final look of your eyebrows will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure.Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period (peeling), brows might appear lighter than original. This might give you the impression that color is fading too quickly. Often even with proper care, clients may lose original hair strokes which make brows look uneven. This is normal. That is the reason why most customers need a touchup after 6-8 weeks. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from natural healing.
AFTER YOUR PERMANENT MAKEUP HAS HEALED
Protect your investment! Permanent cosmetics will require consistent care once healed to ensure a lasting and natural result. Permanent makeup can last anywhere from one to 2+ years depending on the client's lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare. Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. When you are outdoors, always apply sunscreen to the treated area once completely healed to avoid excess fading or discoloration of the pigment. Maintain removal of unwanted brow hair outside of your microbladed shape by tweezing, waxing, threading, or razoring. - Laser procedures such as hair removal or resurfacing will alter the pigment. Please inform your technician of any permanent cosmetics on your face.- Additional makeup application may still be required post-procedure to achieve your desired look. For further sun protection, wear hats and sunglasses. Avoid anti-aging and exfoliating products such as retinols, glycolic, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, etc. This will cause premature fading over time. Moisturized skin retains better! Keep yourself hydrated and always apply a daily moisturizer to your permanent makeup. Touch-ups are recommended every 18-36 months.
