Microblading Healing Process & Aftercare Protocol

Following these aftercare steps is essential for long-lasting, beautiful brows. Please read carefully and follow instructions exactly.

Day 10–15: After Care

• Beginning on Day 6, apply Micro Balm once daily in the morning. Until the 15 days are over

• Use a fresh Q-tip to tap the balm gently onto the brows (never rub).

• Discard the Q-tip after each use — do not double dip.

• Continue this routine for 5 days.

First 15 Days: Dry Healing

During the first two weeks, it is critical to keep your brows completely dry.

• You will be provided with 5 brow shields for shower protection.

• How to use brow shields:

• Clean your forehead with 75% or higher alcohol on a cotton round to remove oil.

• Let skin dry fully.

• Peel off the white protective film.

• Apply the shield above your brows, pressing firmly to seal.

• Shields are single-use only. To preserve them, limit hair washing to every 3–4 days.

Showers are the #1 cause of pigment loss.

• Avoid long, hot, steamy showers.

• Keep it short — in and out!

• Absolutely no baths, hot tubs, or saunas.

Activity Restrictions

• No working out for 1–2 weeks. Sweat contains salt, which fades pigment and can cause ashy results.

• No swimming, hot tubs, or lakes for 14 days.

• No sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks. Always wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses outdoors.

• No facials, Botox, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

Important Reminders

• Use a fresh pillowcase during healing.

• Let any scabbing or flaking fall off naturally. Do not pick, peel, or scratch — this causes scarring and pigment loss.

• Avoid sleeping on your face for 14 days.

• Avoid makeup, creams, sunscreen, or lotions directly on brows during healing.

Showering Guidelines

• Limit showers to 5 minutes or less.

• Keep your face and brows dry until the very end of your shower.

• Wash your body first, then your hair last.

• Avoid steam and excessive rinsing near the brow area.

Healing Timeline: What to Expect

• Immediately After: Brows will appear 40–60% darker, bolder, and more solid than the final result.

• Day 3–7: Some tightness, redness, or slight swelling is normal.

• Day 7–14: Flaking, scabbing, or peeling may occur — brows may look patchy or uneven. This is normal.

• Day 14–28: Pigment begins to soften and return. You may lose 20–40% of color — this is expected.

• Touch-Up Appointment (6–8 weeks): Brows are perfected. We reapply strokes, add density, and refine symmetry. Final results are only achieved after this visit.

Final Note

Trust the process. With proper pre-care and aftercare, your brows will heal beautifully. Any strokes that fade or soften will be addressed during your follow-up session, ensuring a polished and long-lasting result.
