Microblading aftercare is essential to ensure brows heal properly and achieve desired results. Strict instructions must be followed for 14 days, including gentle cleansing twice daily and applying aftercare ointment, avoiding activities that cause sweating or skin irritation, and not touching or picking the brows. After 14 days most normal activities can resume but exfoliation and certain creams should still be avoided until after the touch up appointment and healing is complete. Failure to follow aftercare can result in scarring, infections, pigment loss or discoloration.
