WHAT TO EXPECT
Initially, your brows will appear more bold than usual. Over the next few days after the procedure, your brows may darken during the healing process, this is normal. Around 7-14 days, you may notice some flaking/shedding of the skin near the brow area. Think of this as very small “scabs” falling off the skin now that the skin underneath has healed. You may feel they appear uneven at times because of this. When the skin flakes off, many times the microblading strokes appear very light or sometimes it seems that they have disappeared. THIS IS NORMAL! This is because there is still a thick layer of protective, opaque skin creating a veil over the pigment. Once you go through a skin cycle (4-6 weeks) the pigment will typically reappear but will be about 30-50% lighter than it was immediately after the procedure.
IF YOU EXPECT ANY EXTREME PAIN, REDNESS OR IRRITATION, CONTACT YOUR TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
