After the microblading process, there could be a possibility that you keep checking your eyebrows every couple of minutes and you won’t see any color change or the redness to go away gradually.

That might result in disappointment. So it is better to indulge yourself in different activities rather than focusing or obsessing over your eyebrows all the time.

Tip 5-

Do not start comparing yourself to other people as the healing process might differ from person to person. Your eyebrows will take time to heal to be all-natural and perfect.

Tip 6-

If you are really struggling with your microbladed eyebrows and you notice various symptoms other than those described like -swelling, intense redness, and extreme itching not subsiding when they are supposed to then in that case there could be a possibility that you are suffering from some skin infection.

In such a case you must immediately contact your artist or send them your pictures so that they can figure out the reason for the concern. However, if you want to avoid any sort of skin infection then you must follow aftercare instructions strictly.

Once the pigment that has been inserted in your eyebrows from the microblading procedure begins to fade, that is the time you need to go back to your practitioner for an additional touch-up application.

These microblading touch apps are quite similar to your hair root touch-ups. In the first touchup application, your practitioner will simply apply the color pigment to your eyebrows.

However, if you wait a little longer than your practitioner recommendations you will have to, unfortunately, go through the whole microblading procedure done all over again on both of your eyebrows which is not only time intensive but much more expensive at the same time.

This is why it is recommended to go for a touch-up application on time and this touch-up frequency depends on your skin type.
