The Healing Process Of Eyebrow Microblading

I have many questions, asking how my eyebrows are going to look after the eyebrow micropigemnation treatment and when I will be able to see the final look of my brows.

The client needs to know what to expect during the healing process, which lasts 4-6 weeks and can be categorized into five major phases:

Phase One

This phase lasts only for the first few hours following the treatment. In which you may experience redness, swelling, skin sensitivity and oozing plasma (clear body liquid). These symptoms usually settle down within a few hours and should not last more than 24 hours. At this stage, the eyebrows look thicker and darker than the final brow.

Tip: the Oozing plasma on your eyebrows is what helps build thick scabs and causes poor color retention. Therefore, it’s important to blow dry the treated area on the first day.

Phase Two

The first four days following the digital microblading treatment, while your eyebrows still look darker and thicker. You begin to feel the treated area drying out, and the upper layer of the skin starts to build a scab, preparing to flake off.

Tip: To prevent extreme dryness, you have to clean and moisturize your eyebrows 2-3 times per day with the aftercare product given in the treatment. Be careful not to apply too much product – you don’t want to suffocate your eyebrow microblading!

Phase Three

This phase is characterized mainly by flaking and peeling off the top layer of the treated area, which usually starts at day 5 and lasts for 3-5 days. Please note that some skin types tend to elongate this phase. The top layer of the skin should peel off in fine sections if the client is following the aftercare plan correctly.

Tip: The eyebrows may tend to be itchy during this phase. Don’t pick! Keep them moisturized to calm down the itchiness.

Phase Four

This phase is called the milky film and usually happens in the second week after pretty much all your eyebrows are peeled off. In this phase, the brow color looks light and grayish, and the hair-strokes seem to be cloudy and dull.

The reason behind this phase is a very fine layer of dead skin still covering the color underneath. But this will naturally fade away within a few days, and the color will start to bloom.

Tip: Don’t panic! This is only a temporary and natural phase.

Phase Five

You are almost there! This is the last phase of your eyebrow microblading or micropigmentation healing process, which usually lasts between 3-6 weeks after the initial procedure. In this stage, color starts to bloom back and hair strokes look more clear and crisp.

Tip: This is a very important phase of your skin to fully heal and repair itself. You can then contact your semi-permanent makeup artist to arrange a touch-up session to correct any problems, such as patchy spots or fading.

In conclusion, it is difficult to say when micropigementation is fully healed because everybody heals differently and not necessarily go through all the previous phases. But certainly following aftercare instructions carefully helps in smooth healing and produces good results.
