The objective of microblading is to provide you with well-defined and natural brows. This means that you can save yourself the hassle of putting on makeup each day. Microblading has been used in Asia for more than 25 years now. Additionally, its popularity in Europe and the United States has continued to grow.

How Long Can Microblading Procedure Last?

If you notice that the pigment has faded, then you should visit your practitioner so that you can get a touch-up. Keep in mind that it is essential to have touch ups at least every six months or every year. However, this will depend on your preferred look and skin type.

When it comes to your hair, you will need root touch-ups, and for your brows, you will need microblading touch-ups. It is recommended that you go to your practitioner right away once you notice that your microblading starts to fade. What they will do is that they will simply fill in its color.

However, if you choose to wait a little bit longer, then your practitioner might recommend having the entire microblading procedure done all over again on your brows. Aside from being expensive, it also requires more time than a simple microblading touch-up.

Cost of Microblading Procedure

On the other hand, touch-ups can cost more than 50% of the cost of the procedure. So, if your microblading procedure costs $500, then the cost of your touch-up will likely be around $300. Unfortunately, microblading is not covered by health insurance. However, there are certain medications, medical conditions or treatments that can lead to the failure of the procedure. In these cases, it is best to consult your insurance if they can cover your microblading.

It is a fact that microblading procedures can be very expensive. That is why you could ask your practitioner if you can avail some discounts. If there are aestheticians that are looking for volunteers, then you could grab this opportunity to lower down the cost.

What are the Risks and Precautions Involved?

Once the microblading procedure is performed, the shape and color of your brows will remain the same. It will take 18 months or more before the color will fade. That is why it is very important that you have an in-depth discussion with your practitioner. Be sure to review their portfolio and let them draw a trial shape into your face so that you will have a clear idea about the finished product.

The microblading procedure can be painful and can make you feel uncomfortable, even if a topical anesthetic is applied. Typically, once the procedure is done, you will have some small cuts on your face. But there is no need to worry since they are not wider than a thread. You should keep the affected area clean and dry to avoid any infection.

How Long Will It Take For Microblading to Heal?

While your microblading is still healing, you should avoid scratching or picking the area. This is because germs could get inside your skin and can cause infection. Also, if you scratch those flakes, then the color of your brows will likely fade quickly.

You should remember that during the healing period, you should avoid any kind of moisture on your brows. For instance, you should avoid getting them wet in the pool or shower. You should avoid sweating too much from working out.

How Does Microblading Heal Day by Day?

Generally, you can expect the following things to happen:

From day one to day three, you can expect fuller eyebrows, although your face might feel tender and painful. During the first day, your eyebrows will look full and bold. The color will be darker; however, it will eventually fade. Most likely, you can experience mild bleeding, mild swelling, tenderness, redness as well as a feeling of being cut or bruised. However, after 2 to 3 days, these side effects will start to subside.

From day three to five, your eyebrows will look extremely dark, afterward they will flake off. As the tenderness and pain starts to fade away, your brows will thicken and darken. Ultimately, your brows will look very bold. On day five, you will notice that your brows start to scab. Take note that it will become itchy and flaky. This is quite normal since it signals that your skin is healing.

From days five to eight, the flaking will continue and, at the same time, the color will start to fade away. You should also anticipate flaking, scabbing, and peeling. As much as possible, try to resist picking the scabs. This is because your wounds might reopen, and it will interrupt the healing process. Some pigment might also be removed which can result in patchy brows. It is best to just let the scabs flake off the natural way.

As the flaking continues, the dark color on your brows will also soften. However, there is no need for you to worry since the color will return back.

From day eight to day twelve, the flaking will end, and the color will return. But after the first week, the flaking will slowly fade away.

From day twelve to day twenty-one, your brows will have a natural color and texture. Your eyebrows will have an even color. Every single brow hair will look more defined, so you can obtain feathery eyebrows.

From days twenty-one to day thirty, your skin will start to heal. Then, after one month, your skin is fully healed. By this time, you will not feel any discomfort or pain. Your eyebrows will also look soft and full.

After another month or two, you will have to set up a follow-up with your aesthetician. They will check if your skin has been healed. At the same time, they will repair any spots.
