PLEASE NOTE:
We will endeavour to ensure that you are happy with your Microbladed brows but sometimes rarely a third treatment may be required. We will inform you prior to your first treatment if we think a third treatment is required at a cost.
Please do not hesitate call us if you have any questions or are unsure of what’s happening with your brows.
JOURNEY OF MICROBUDING HEALING
The following is a potential journey of what you may experience over the next 4-6 weeks. It is important to remember that not everyone experiences each of these.
Day 1-2 Your eyebrows will become darker and darker as the pigment and lymph oxidises. You will think and may even regret having your brows done at this point. They may even look like they are too big, or not even, this is normal.
Day 7-10 The relief moment and a thought of “That’s more like it!” You may have some crusting/flaking starting to form also.
Day 14-25 “Where on earth have my eyebrows gone? It hasn’t worked!” During this time, your healing skin cells are opaque or see through. With that, you can’t actually see the pigment that was implanted. This is normal and the colour will reappear.
Day 21-28 “Aha! There they are!” And yes they do need a touch up! Having a few hairstrokes missing or parts of hairstrokes missing is quite normal. You can lose up to 40% of your colour and/or strokes between your first and second treatment.
Day 28-42 We refresh your brows or do the second treatment. This will go through the same healing process as above. We don’t treat every single hairstroke, so during the healing cycle your eyebrows can appear very patchy.
