day 01. The eyebrows are approximately 20%-40% darker & bolder in width than when healed. Your skin will be red under pigment, which causes the color to appear darker. There is some swelling, although difficult to actually see due to thickness of the skin in the eyebrow area. This will subside. Exfoliation, which begins in a few days, will cause excess pigment surrounding the eyebrow procedure to flake away & a narrower appearance will result. New skin will heal over the pigmented area & result in a softer appearance of your eyebrows. Don't be concerned that your eyebrows initially appear darker & heavier in size than you desire. This is all part of the process.
day 02. Conditions remain the same.
day 03. Eyebrows will start to itch & will appear a bit thicker in texture. Please do not pick or pull at brows.
day 4. The skin begins to flake, peeling from the outside edges first. Resist scratching or peeling off the skin. Let them heal naturally.
day 5. color finishes flaking off, appearing softer & grayer for 1-2 weeks until color clarifies.
note~ due to delicate nature of the Microblading technique, Microbladed brows heal much softer than most people anticipate. you may choose to add more color (shading) during your follow-up visit after the skin is completely healed & the colors have matured.
please remember~ the touch-up appointment is complimentary & only needed if you feel there was fading throughout that needs little more love.
*follow the post-care treatment as stated in previous post throughout your healing process of 3-10 days.
