Microblading Aftercare

Are you considering getting microblading? This semi-permanent brow treatment can give you the full, natural-looking brows you’ve always wanted, but it’s important to properly care for your new brows after the procedure to ensure the best healing and longest-lasting results. In this blog, we’ll go over everything you need to know about microblading aftercare, including what to do and what to avoid in the days and weeks following your treatment. By following these tips, you can help your brows heal properly and maintain their beautiful appearance for as long as possible.

How Long Does Microblading Take?

The results of microblading can last up to 30 months. You will also need to have touch-ups every 12-18 months depending on what look you choose.

The duration of the procedure will depend on your skin type and preferences. The length of the procedure varies depending on how your skin takes the pigment.

Microblading pigments fade over time. Although touch-ups are possible to help with maintenance, you might prefer to wait until the pigment is almost completely gone before retrying the procedure. This option is more costly than regular touch-ups, where the color is filled in as the fades.

What You Need to Know About Microblading

Microblading tools should be disposable and only used once. You should always ask your brow technician to open a new tool when you arrive at your appointment.

Although microblading is considered safe, there aren’t many clinical studies or medical research to support this. It is important to feel at ease with the technician as well as the space.

You should be aware of your skin’s reaction to microblading, in addition to safe and responsible practices.

Many brow professionals believe that people with dry skin will get better results than those who have oily skin. Some skin care products can also affect the outcome or the time it takes to complete the procedure.

Microblading your eyebrows is a great option. However, you might want to cut back on the following skin care products such as:

  • Retinol
  • Acids
  • Fragrance
  • Mechanical exfoliation
  • Chemical peels
  • Microdermabrasion

Preparation

To prevent a microblading infection, the first thing you should do is research your technician. However, some states do not require technicians to hold a license.

If they’re not licensed, ask to see their occupational license. These accreditations indicate that you are being treated by a legitimate provider.

Procedure

Microblading is the application of needles to create lines that resemble eyebrow hairs. The pigment is applied manually to the dermis (the inner layer of the skin) using the tool.

It’s a bit like getting a tattoo but it’s not permanent.

It can feel a bit like threading your eyebrows — it’s not painful but it’s uncomfortable.

The average procedure takes about 2 hours. However, it all depends on the individual and the technician.

Skin Care After Microblading

The microblading aftercare is the same as tattoo care but a little more intense.

Following the procedure, the pigment will appear very dark and the skin beneath it will turn red. Because needles are used in cutting the skin, it is not uncommon to feel some redness or sensitivity immediately afterward.

The color may initially appear too dark but will gradually fade over the next 4-6 weeks. It fully heals at 6-8 weeks and a touch-up is recommended.

These steps will help you take care of your skin following microblading.

  • The area should not be wet for more than 7 days. You should also keep your face dry when you take a shower.
  • For at least one week, don’t wear any makeup. This is because pigments still settle into the superficial cuts caused by the blading.
  • Do not pick at, tug, or scratch the eyebrows.
  • You should avoid swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating until your brows have healed completely.
  • Your hair should not be on your brow line.
  • As directed by your technician, apply any medicated creams or healing balms.

You’ll need to take care of your skin after it has healed. You can prevent microblading from fading by applying sunscreen to the area.
