Microblading Aftercare/Healing Process Day-by-Day
Welcome to Miya Nail Spa's guide on microblading aftercare and the healing process day-by-day. Microblading is a popular semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement technique that creates natural-looking eyebrows through the use of fine tattoo needles. It's important to properly care for your newly microbladed eyebrows in order to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
The First Day - Post-Microblading
After your microblading procedure, it's crucial to follow these steps for successful healing:
- Keep the treated area dry for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid touching or scratching your eyebrows.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, sauna, steam, swimming pools, and hot showers.
- Avoid wearing makeup on or around the treated area.
- Use a clean cotton swab to apply the provided aftercare cream gently.
During the first day, expect some redness and minor swelling around the treated area. However, this is normal and will subside over time.
The Second Day to the First Week - Ensuring Proper Healing
As you continue your microblading aftercare routine, be sure to:
- Gently cleanse the treated area using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
- Apply the aftercare cream at least twice a day to keep the area moisturized.
- Avoid scratching or picking at any scabs or crusts that may form.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions.
It's common to experience some itchiness and flaking during this stage of the healing process. However, it's crucial not to scratch or pick at the scabs, as this can lead to pigment loss and potential infection.
One Week to One Month - Patience is Key
As your eyebrows continue to heal, you may notice some lightening and fading of the initial pigment. This is normal, and the true color will gradually appear within four to six weeks.
During this stage, it's important to:
- Avoid using any exfoliants or harsh skincare products on or near the treated area.
- Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater.
- Avoid excessive sweating and activities that may cause the area to become overly moist.
It's essential to protect your newly microbladed eyebrows from sun exposure by applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 whenever you're outdoors.
Long-Term Care and Maintenance
After your initial healing period, it's important to maintain your microbladed eyebrows for long-lasting results. Here are some tips for ongoing care:
- Avoid using oil-based skincare products on or near the treated area, as they can cause pigment fading.
- Consider touch-up appointments every 12 to 18 months to maintain your desired eyebrow shape and color.
- Consult with a professional microblading artist if you have any concerns or questions regarding your eyebrows.
Remember that everyone's healing process may vary, so it's crucial to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your microblading artist.
