HEALING PROCESS 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THE MICRO- SHADED BROWS TO HEAL?

IT TAKES AROUND A MONTH FOR THE BROWS TO COMPLETELY HEAL. THIS PROCESS IS VITAL TO ENSURING LONG-TERM SUCCESS. YOU NEED TO ADVISE YOUR CLIENT ON PROPER CLEANSERS AND AFTERCARE CREAMS WHICH WILL HELP THE BROWS TO HEAL IN A RIGHT WAY AND TO PREVENT INFECTION.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT YOUR EYEBROWS WILL GO THROUGH SEVERAL PHASES DURING THE HEALING CYCLE AND NOT ALL OF THEM WILL BE VERY PLEASING TO THE EYE. THE PIGMENT WILL FIRST APPEAR VERY SHARP AND DARK, BUT THE COLOR OF THE INK WILL SOFTEN GRADUALLY. SO, DON'T WORRY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DON'T PANIC, THIS IS ALL PART OF THE PROCESS.

 

HOW DOES THE HEALING PROCESS LOOK LIKE BY WEEKS?

1ST WEEK: THE EYEBROWS WILL PROBABLY BE A BIT SWOLLEN AND DARK AT FIRST AND SKIN LITTLE RED AROUND THE TREATED AREA. AT THIS POINT, IT IS CRUCIAL TO RIGOROUSLY FOLLOW THE AFTERCARE STEPS

2ND WEEK: DURING THIS PERIOD, THE SCABS WILL START TO FLAKE OFF AND THE BROWS WILL LOOK LIGHTER THAN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, BUT DO NOT WORRY, IT IS YOUR SKIN REGENERATING AND NATURALLY EXFOLIATING. YOUR EYEBROWS WILL REGAIN THE COLOR AFTER SOME TIME.

4-6TH WEEK: FOUR TO SIX WEEKS AFTER THE TREATMENT, DEPENDING ON YOUR HEALING PROCESS, THE BROWS WILL SEEM A LITTLE UNEVEN AND PATCHY, WHICH IS WHY THERE IS A MANDATORY TOUCH-UP SESSION. THE FIRST TOUCH-UP IS DONE AFTER THE PIGMENT HAS FULLY SET IN, WHICH IS NEVER EARLIER THAN ONE MONTH AFTER THE TREATMENT. ITS PURPOSE IS TO FILL IN THE GAPS AND FIX ANYTHING YOU DON'T LIKE OR WANT TO CHANGE.
