How Can I Take Proper Care of My Brows After Microblading?

Thin brows can be frustrating and challenging to fill in on your own. Microblading (also called cosmetic tattooing) is a great way to achieve fuller-looking eyebrows without using an eyebrow pencil every day. However, proper care must be taken after a microblading session to ensure the best possible results.

Owner and master artist Britt Baker can provide comprehensive post-care instructions for microblading recovery during an appointment in Zionsville, IN. Call Bladed Inc. to schedule a session and get started – we look forward to helping you achieve the perfect brows.

How do you perform microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates fuller, natural-looking eyebrows. Using a fine blade, pigment is deposited into the skin in thin strokes to replicate the appearance of hair. At Bladed Inc., we use only high-quality pigments and tools to ensure results last about 1 – 3 years. Britt is an expert in cosmetic tattooing and works with everyone to find the right shape, color, and style of eyebrows for their unique features.

What are the post-care instructions for microblading?

It is normal to experience some minor redness and swelling around the brows almost immediately following your session. Keep the area clean with a gentle cleanser and apply a thin layer of healing balm or ointment. Bladed Inc. can recommend specific skin care products for your post-care needs in Zionsville, IN.

A touch-up session is scheduled within 8 – 12 weeks of your first appointment to adjust the shape and color as needed. This is also a great time for Britt to answer any questions about your brows. We want to ensure your eyebrows look natural, fresh, and beautiful without any extra effort.

What to avoid after microblading

You may be tempted to pick, peel, scratch, or rub the treated area after microblading, but this can cause the pigment to heal unevenly and disrupt the recovery process. Instead, pat the area gently with a clean cloth or tissue. Do not use products with harsh chemicals or fragrances on your brows.

Additionally, try to avoid the following during microblading recovery:

• Sun exposure: UV rays cause redness in the treatment area or undesirable results. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or use sunscreen before spending any time outdoors.

• Extreme temperatures: Hot steam and saunas also damage sensitive skin. Try to stay indoors in a cool, air-conditioned room.

• Exercise: Sweat can irritate your brows and delay healing. Perform light workouts and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks.

• Facials and other cosmetic procedures: Chemical peels, waxing, and laser treatments should all be avoided after microblading.

What do results look like after microblading?

The results of cosmetic tattooing are immediate, but you should expect the shade to change as your skin heals and the pigment begins to settle. Each brow may take on a slightly different look during this process, so don’t be alarmed if one appears different than the other – as long as you follow post-care instructions, there should be no complications preventing you from enjoying your results.
