Microblading
Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing that fills in your eyebrows. It’s meant to make your eyebrows look fuller and thicker. During a microblading session, a technician uses a special tool to make tiny cuts in the skin. The tool consists of multiple needles that insert pigment into the cuts, creating the appearance of eyebrow hairs. The color of the pigment used will depend on your preference. This gives the appearance of feathery and full eyebrows.
What to Expect Microblading?
The microblading healing process generally takes 25 to 30 days. It starts right after your procedure.However, how fast your skin heals will be slightly different for each person. It depends on many factors, including your age, overall health, and skin type. In general, during the first 10 to 14 days, your eyebrows will vary in appearance. The color, definition, and texture will change almost every day. At first, your face will feel tender, tight, and painful. This will turn into itchiness and flaking, which eventually subsides. The results of microblading typically last 18 to 30 months. You’ll also need touch-ups every 12 to 18 months, depending on the look you want. Each touch-up session involves some healing time as well.
Days 1 to 3: Eyebrows look fuller, though your face may feel cut and tender.
On the first day, your eyebrows will look very bold and full. The color may look extremely dark, but keep in mind that it’ll eventually fade. You’ll likely experience redness, tenderness, mild swelling, mild bleeding, sensation of feeling cut or bruised. By days 2 and 3, these side effects should slowly subside.
Days 3 to 5: Eyebrows look very dark and then start to flake off.
As the pain and tenderness subsides, your brows will darken and thicken. By day 5, your brows will begin to scab. They will be flaky and extremely itchy. This is normal and means your skin is healing.
Days 5 to 8: Flaking continues and the color fades.
You can expect more scabbing, flaking, and peeling. Resist picking at the scabs, which can reopen the wounds and disrupt the healing process. It might also remove some pigment, resulting in patchy brows. Let the scabs flake off naturally instead. As your brows continue to flake, the dark color will soften. But rest assured that the color will come back.
Days 8 to 12: Flaking ends and color returns
After the first week, the flaking will gradually stop. The color will also return.
Days 12 to 21: Color and texture look more natural.
The color of your eyebrows should look more even and natural. The individual brow hairs will also look more defined, creating the appearance of feathery eyebrows.
Days 21 to 30: Skin is healed.
The microblading healing process generally takes 25 to 30 days. It starts right after your procedure.However, how fast your skin heals will be slightly different for each person.

It’s normal for permanent makeup to fade over time. Therefore, after your initial microblading session, you’ll need regular touch-ups. This will maintain the shape, color, and definition of your brows. Generally, it’s recommended to get a touch-up every 12 to 18 months. But the best frequency depends on your preferred look. It also depends on how your skin holds on to the pigment. For some people, the pigment may fade quickly, requiring more frequent touch-ups.
After 1 month, your skin will be completely healed. You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort. Your eyebrows should also look soft and full.
