Your Brow Healing Journey

(Microblading + Shading)

Congratulations on your new brows! Here’s what you can expect in the weeks ahead and how to take care of them for the best, long-lasting results.

Day 1 – Fresh & Bold

• Your brows will look darker and more defined than your final result.

• Mild redness or swelling is normal.

• Follow your artist’s cleaning and ointment instructions carefully.

Days 2–4 – The “Bold” Stage

• Brows may still appear dark, even a little blocky.

• Skin may feel tight or dry — this is part of the healing process.

• Keep them clean, dry, and avoid makeup in the brow area.

Days 5–7 – Flaking & Peeling

• You’ll notice some flaking or light scabbing.

• Brows may look uneven or patchy underneath — do not pick.

• This stage can be the trickiest, but it’s temporary.

Week 2 – The “Ghosting” Phase

• Flaking is done, but brows may look too light or faded.

• Some areas may appear patchy — this is completely normal.

• The pigment is still settling beneath the skin.

Week 3 – Color Starts to Return

• Pigment becomes more visible again.

• Brows look softer and more natural.

• Patchiness may still be visible but will be corrected at your touch-up.

Week 4 – Settled but Not Final

• Your brows are healed on the surface.

• Shape and color may not be perfectly even — that’s why we have the touch-up session.

Weeks 4–6 – Touch-Up Time

• This appointment, while not always necessary, is beneficial for optimal results. This session will perfect your shape and color.

• Any gaps, faded spots, or uneven tones are filled in.

• After your touch-up, expect a shorter healing process (about 7–10 days).

Ongoing Care Tips

• Always apply SPF to protect your brows from fading.

• Avoid retinols, acids, and harsh exfoliants on the brow area.

• Keep brows out of chlorine and salt water while healing.

• Schedule yearly color boosts to keep them fresh.
