After your microblading eyebrows procedure, your artist should go through the aftercare instructions with you. Microblading aftercare is crucial, and it plays a significant role in the treatment’s effectiveness. As a result, you should take it to heart and adhere to the aftercare recommendations in the letter. Cleaning your brows, keeping them from infection, and caring for the skin in the region in the manner recommended by your microblading practitioner, according to a specific timetable, are all part of microblading aftercare.
The artist has completed their task; now it is your time, and you will play a critical role. Continue reading to learn all there is to know regarding microblading aftercare. But before we get into the necessary aftercare of microblading, we will learn what is actually microblading is.
What is Microblading:
Microblading is a technique that promises to make your brows seem better. It’s also known as “feather touch” or “micro-stroking.”
A skilled practitioner does microblading. Vary on the state in which they operate; they seem not to have a specific license to conduct the operation. Using a special tool, this person meticulously fills in your brows. Hundreds of small strokes are used to create a texture that resembles your natural brow hair. Microblading’s effects may last anywhere from 12 to 18 months; that is one of the reasons for its popularity.
Microblading is a technique that involves cutting into the skin around your brows and injecting color into the incisions. If you’re thinking about having it done, there are a few things you should know regarding upkeep and aftercare. Your skin will be painful afterward, and you should avoid touching or leaving it wet for ten days following your procedure.
4 Things To Avoid After Microblading:
- Water:
Water is one of the five things to avoid post microblading. It’s not a good idea to have your brows moist throughout the healing/scabbing phase. Water will dislodge and reduce the pigment, making it impossible for the microblading to stay in place. I advise you to exfoliate your skin in the sink. Wash normally from the bottom of your eyelids down, avoiding spraying water on your skin. A face wipe may be used to clean the forehead. You may also moisten cotton round, add a splash of cleanser, and then circle the forehead with it. Make sure you don’t get your hands on your brows. Then, using another cotton round and a little amount of water, wipe away the cleaner.
- Sweat
Sweat should be avoided for the same reasons that liquid should be avoided throughout the healing process after microblading. Sweat originates from inside the skin, and it may push the pigment out, causing the Microblading strokes to fade. Even a “Light Workout” may result in sweating. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “sweater,” doing out may lead the microblading to disappear. During the first two weeks, it is critical to prevent sweating. If you’re still scabbing the following two weeks, avoid sweating until the scabs, and peeling skin have entirely come off.
- Sun
Sun exposure, trust me or not, may impact the microblading’s retention. The sun’s UV rays may cause the pigment to fade rapidly. As a result, the sun should be ignored for a minimum of 4 weeks. It is advised that you stay out of the sun for the very first two weeks. If you can’t avoid going outside, I suggest wearing a baseball cap that can protect you from the sun. If you are out after the first two weeks (and if you are still crusting after two weeks, wait until all the scabs come off), you may apply sunscreen to your brows. To be cautious, it’s still a good idea to wear a hat.
- Pillows
This is something I constantly tell my customers is very important but also the most difficult to avoid. When we sleep, one part of our face is typically resting on a pillow. That is true regardless of how you sleep. Whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach, it’s crucial to avoid contacting your face with the pillow since the cushion may rub against your brows, causing the scabs to come out prematurely. The microblading strokes will totally disappear as a result of this. I suggest resting on your back with a travel pillow across your face to provide some more space.
If you have any unanticipated issues with your skin’s healing, feel free to call your Microblading physician right once to discuss your options.
Fever, redness at the treatment site, inflammation, pain at the treatment site, heatstroke, red streaks extending from the procedure site to the heart, and/or any yellow discharge with a foul odor should all be reported to a physician.
Before And After Expectations Of Microblading:
- Based on your age and body rejuvenation, the whole healing process may take anywhere from 4-6 weeks.
- During the healing process, your new eyebrows will go through various stages.
- Immediately after the treatment, the pigment will seem highly unnatural. The pigment’s hue will be considerably darker the following day.
- Due to the skin’s natural regeneration, brows may look lighter than they were following the healing phase (peeling). You may get the feeling that the color is fading too fast as a result of this. Even with careful maintenance, customers may see more excellent fading in certain places, causing the brows to appear uneven. It’s perfectly natural. That’s why, after six weeks, most customers need a touchup.
- The skin will start to recover and appear like flaky or dry skin after it has begun to heal. Yet, this is just the regular removal of surface pigment and dry skin from your brows. The ultimate appearance of your brows will be seen 30 days following your treatment.
- Never massage the treatment area, as this will prevent the skin from healing naturally.
- When your eyebrows are fully healed, add a thin of sunblock SPF 30 to SPF 50 to them whenever they are exposed to sunlight.
- The color pigment may fade more rapidly as a result of exposure to the sun.
- When applying foundation, stay away from the region where your brows have healed. Your brows will look lighter if the foundation is applied over healing brows.
- You may now relax and enjoy your new brows. You’ll like your new beautiful, fresh appearance!
Day by Day Healing Process:
Day 1 of the Microblading Healing Process
- Wet (but don’t overwet, just slightly dump) a cotton pad in a little sterile water and gently scrub the region two to three hours after the therapy.
- Do this three to four times on the first day or whenever you feel the need to clean up the area.
Day 2 to 3 of the Microblading Healing Process:
- Apply a slightly damp cotton pad to your face as you wake up ( use sterilized water)
- Take care to clean as gently as possible, and do it three to four times during the day.
- Apply a little amount of Aquaphor to your brows. But it should just be a smidgeon. It’s about the size of a dot or half a rice grain. This will aid in the moisturization of your brows.
- Always remember to be as kind as possible.
Day 4 to 14 of the Microblading Healing Process:
- Using a little damp cotton pad, wipe your brows as normal. This time, you may add one or two droplets of witch hazel to the sterilized water.

- Since the eyebrows should not be moist or shiny, be careful and don’t overdo it with the cosmetics.
Microblading Day by Day Healing Process:
Day 1 through 4 of the Microblading Healing Process
- Because the skin hasn’t settled yet, the brow pigment is still black. Don’t worry if it seems a little too dark at first; this is just temporary as pigmentation fades.

- The brows may seem to be a bit ‘larger.’ Don’t worry, everything will return to normal shortly.
Days 5–7 of the Microblading Healing Process:
- The skin will eventually begin to recover.

Days 14-28 of the Microblading Healing Process

- As your skin heals, you will see more clarity on the pigmentation, as if it is improving with each passing day, and you will gradually see everything come into place.
Aftercare for Oily Skin After Microblading
People with dry skin may be certain that their microblading procedure will be a success. Some with oily skin aren’t so fortunate. This is because sebum, or natural oils produced by the skin, pushes the pigment out. However, this does not exclude them from having microblade brows.
They can, however, oily skin microblading requires particular aftercare. As there is no need for extra moisturizing, dry healing is generally suggested for customers with oily skin. Microbladed brows should be wiped many times during the day. You must maintain them dry at all times.
