Finally hopped on this incredible beauty trend? Great choice! Let me be the first to tell you that the journey doesn’t end here.
Most people think the journey ends once they get their new Instagram-worthy brows but that is very wrong. It is essential to familiarise yourself with the aftercare procedure even before getting your brows done.
To protect your brows from infections and quick fading, you need to understand how to properly care for them and follow the precise routine.
Thankfully, microblading aftercare routine is very easy to follow. So don’t panic! Here, we discuss how to effectively care for your microbladed brows. Enjoy the ride!
Aftercare: Day 1-7
This aftercare routine is beneficial because it prevents infections and creates an environment conducive to a quick natural healing process. If you’re familiar with tattoo aftercare, you’ll see that this isn’t very different, as the routines are very similar.
It’s normal to experience some discomfort and soreness during the procedure and you may experience some burning sensations afterwards. There is no cause for alarm. They will quickly fade as the days go by. For the first week, be sure to keep an eye on the brow area to see if it turns swollen since any abnormal redness could indicate a skin infection caused by irritation or an allergic reaction to the colours used in the procedure.
This is why it is important to gently clean the brow area with antibacterial soap daily. Don’t let the pain make you forget to wash. You will be doing yourself a big favour. While at it, make sure to wash your hands before washing the area.
Please note that exfoliant-containing cleansing products should be avoided at all costs. After cleansing, dab the affected area with a clean towel and apply a small amount of the prescribed aftercare ointment by your specialist.
Aftercare: Day 8–14
The second week is just as critical as the first. Strictly adhering to this microblading aftercare routine will help to prevent infections, scarring, and discolouration.
By week two, the brow area should be almost healed unless there are complications. Should complications arise, it is advisable to see a doctor right away. For others who are gradually healing already, note that you are to continue the washing routine twice daily.
However, it is okay to stop applying the aftercare ointment. Most importantly, keep in mind that this isn’t the time to start applying makeup. Yes, I hate to put a damper on your excitement but you need to be very careful at this stage to avoid scarring and infections.
In addition to avoiding makeup, let me quickly state the obvious – please avoid touching or scratching the area. It might get itchy but resist the urge to touch it. You don’t want to introduce infection to the open area.
We also recommend you avoid sunscreen and the sun altogether. That’s not all. Remember that besides exfoliants, there are a number of skincare items that can affect the rate of fading such as glycolic acid-based treatments, fragrances, and laser resurfacing.
Aftercare: Day 14 Onwards
Now for the exciting bit, which I’m sure you’ve been waiting to read. Yes!
You can resume your normal routine as soon as possible, especially if your appointment with your microblading specialist is over and the microbladed area has healed completely.
If it hasn’t, I’m afraid you’ll have to stick to the days 8–14 routine and consult your specialist if any complications arise.
Microblading is an easy-to-maintain brow styling technique. You should be fine by simply adhering to this microblading aftercare routine. These tips are sure to help you enjoy the long-lasting, beautiful, natural-looking eyebrows you’ve always desired. Stay pretty!
