Microblading Healing Process: What to Expect
Microblading enhances the appearance of eyebrows by adding semi-permanent pigment in tiny hair-like strokes to make them look fuller and more defined. This cosmetic procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours and should be done by a reputable provider to ensure safety and beautiful results.
Depending on your age, skin type, and other external factors, microbladed brows may last 1 to 3 years. If you’re considering this eyebrow trestment, you might wonder how long the healing process is and what to expect. Read on to find out.
Day 1 to 3: Immediately after the microblading procedure, your brows will look much darker and bolder than normal due to the new pigment. You may also experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, and minimal bleeding, which is normal and should subside for the next few days.
Day 4 to 8: Your eyebrows will start to scab or flake, making them itchy. Do not scratch or pick at your brows during this time, as it can disrupt the healing process and potentially reopen wounds. Doing so may also affect the final results, leaving you with patchy brows.
Day 9 to 12: The flaking will gradually stop after a few more days. This stage can be frustrating for some, as the brows may appear lighter, faded, or gray, which varies per person. But don’t worry, as the pigment will settle over time.
Day 13 to 21: After a week or so, the healing process will mostly be complete. During this time, your eyebrows will be less flaky, and the pigment will settle, making them look more natural.
Day 22 to 30: By this time, your skin will fully heal with no redness or discomfort. This is typically when you can see the final look of your brows, which are effortlessly fuller and defined. Afterward, you will likely have a follow-up with your provider to check the results and to perform any necessary touch-ups.
