How to Do Microblading Aftercare Right

Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at May 30th, 2019

You’ve just spent a pretty dime on getting your newly microbladed eyebrows. To make the brows last as long as possible and promote the best healing, it’s very important to follow the microblading aftercare guide dictated by your artist and the salon where you received your service. As you do research online, you’ll find that there are slight variations in microblading aftercare. This is on purpose. Because artists use different supplies, techniques, ointments, and are located in different environments, their aftercare guides are tailored to these differences in mind. Different environments will also yield different results because the climate has different effects on our skin. Therefore, your artist should be familiar with the steps to help mitigate negative environmental factors. Keep in mind, your brow artist is not a mystical all-powerful goddess that can control all factors. Just as it is important to follow the aftercare guide, it’s just as important to follow the preparation steps prior to getting microblading. Keep in mind the following pre-treatment instructions before you book your next appointment: Preparations are usually similar across the board but can also slightly vary per artist. Okay, back to the aftercare for microblading. During this time there are many things to remember and to understand during the healing schedule. THINGS TO REMEMBER
