Microblading Post-Care

  1. Allow your eyebrows to air dry before applying ointment on them.
  2. Keep the brow area clean by using a mild, fragrance-free gel cleanser and water.
  3. Avoid using abrasive sponges or washcloths near your eyebrow area.
  4. Do not pick or scratch the area. Allow any scabbing or dry skin to fall off naturally. If you pick them, you can not only cause scarring but also lose the pigment.
  5. Completely avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for five weeks after your procedure. Also, steer clear of pools, steam rooms, hot showers, and sauna for about three weeks.
  6. Do not use any makeup or skin care products on the treated area for up to two weeks.
  7. Always wear sunscreen to prevent fading. The best products for your microbladed eyebrows are Vaseline and SPF.
  8. Look after your brow area just like you would take care of a wound. Allow it to heal fully before going for any other chemical procedures or peels.

Results

Right after your treatment, your eyebrows will appear darker and bolder than you want for the first couple of weeks due to the natural healing process. This is very common and nothing to worry about. The whole procedure takes about two hours from consultation to measuring your brows and the final treatment.

Recovery

It takes about 7 to 14 days for your eyebrows to heal and a month for the pigment to fully set in. Initially, you may be uncomfortable with how dark your brows look, but the color fades by 50% within the first week. So, patience is key!

Average Cost

The cost of microblading can range anywhere from around $350 to $900. However, having your brows look like they are always on-fleek may just be worth every penny.

If you’re looking to achieve a natural brow look that lasts, microblading is the way to go. But what about microshading and feathering? Here’s what these concepts mean.

Difference Between Microblading, Microshading, And Microfeathering

Microshading: Microshading is perfect for those who want their brows to look thick and filled in, much like the “done” Insta brows. It uses a tool that creates a soft, powdered effect that resembles your eyebrow pomade. There’s no difference in the lifespan of microshading and microblading, so that’s a plus! The price is also just about the same.

Microfeathering: This technique is all about creating natural, fluffy-looking brows. It uses your existing eyebrow hair as the starting base and fills it in with pigment wherever needed. This is unlike microblading, which recreates most of the brow. It is a great option for those who only want to lightly fill in the brows they already have.

Ladies, never underestimate the power of a killer pair of brows! They can be the biggest game changer, and they can indeed make or break your look. That was our take on the ins and outs of microblading.
