Why Following Microblading Aftercare Instructions is Essential for Beautiful, Long-Lasting Results
At FACE DEFINED, we believe that every client deserves to walk away from their microblading experience with results they absolutely love. But achieving those beautifully defined brows isn’t just about what happens in the studio—it’s also about how you care for them afterward. Following your aftercare instructions is crucial for ensuring your brows heal properly and maintain their stunning appearance for as long as possible.
In this blog, we’ll explore why aftercare is so important and how it helps you get the best out of your microblading experience.
The Role of Aftercare in Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that involves creating fine, hair-like strokes to enhance the appearance of your eyebrows. The process involves implanting pigment into the skin, which then needs time to heal and set. The aftercare period is your opportunity to protect this investment in your beauty, allowing your skin to heal properly and the pigment to settle into its final, beautiful form.
By following the aftercare instructions provided by your artist, you can help ensure that:
• Your Brows Heal Properly: Proper aftercare helps prevent infection and irritation, allowing your skin to heal naturally and without complications.
• The Color Sets Correctly: Aftercare instructions are designed to protect the pigment as it settles into the skin, ensuring that your brows achieve the desired color and don’t fade prematurely.
• You Avoid Unnecessary Touch-Ups: Adhering to aftercare guidelines can minimize the need for early touch-ups, saving you time and money.
• Your Results Last Longer: The better you care for your brows during the healing process, the longer your microblading results will last.
What to Expect During the Healing Process
The healing process is a critical time for your new brows. Here’s what you can generally expect and how to care for your brows during this period:
1. The First Few Days: Your brows may appear darker and bolder immediately after the procedure, and some redness or swelling is normal. During this time, avoid getting your brows wet except for your recommended washes, and resist the urge to touch them.
2. Week One: Your brows may begin to scab or flake as they heal. This is a normal part of the process. Avoid picking at the scabs, as this can pull out pigment and affect your final results.
3. Week Two to Four: As your brows continue to heal, they may appear lighter than expected. However, the true color will start to emerge and you’ll finally be able to see your true healed result.
Your Aftercare Checklist
To help your brows heal beautifully, here are some aftercare tips to keep in mind:
• Avoid Moisture: Keep your brows dry during the first week except for your recommended washings. This includes avoiding activities that cause sweating and skipping the sauna or swimming pool.
• Be Gentle: Avoid rubbing or scratching your brows. If they feel itchy or start to flake, let them be. The flaking is a natural part of the healing process.
• Protect from the Sun: Exposure to the sun can cause the pigment to fade faster. After your brows are fully healed, protect them with sunscreen to maintain their color.
• Follow Specific Instructions: Your artist will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs. Be sure to follow these guidelines closely for the best results.
