What to expect during and after your Micro-blading session:
The entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks, depending upon your own body regeneration and age. Your new temporary eyebrows will go through several phases during this healing process/cycle. The below after care instructions will help with healing.
The pigment will appear very natural looking immediately after the initial procedure. The following day the pigment will appear darker. Next, typically the brows can itch and flake as the healing process naturally produces shedding, at which point the brows might appear lighter than original. This might give you the impression that the color is fading too quickly. Additionally, even with proper care some customers may develop bald spots or might lose original hair stroke which makes brows look uneven, this is natural. This is also the reason why most customers need a touch-up visit after the 6 weeks.
It is very important that you do not let any water, lotions, soap or makeup touch your eyebrow areas during the first 3 days after your micro-blading session!
