Skin Types

Microblading can be suitable for most skin types, but there are certain factors that may affect the outcome of the procedure. Here are some considerations for different skin types:

  • Normal Skin: Clients with normal skin can typically undergo microblading with good results. Normal skin has a balanced amount of oil and moisture, which can help the pigment to heal properly.
  • Oily Skin: Clients with oily skin may experience slightly different results, as the excess oil can cause the pigment to fade more quickly. To combat this, the technician may use a stronger pigment or recommend touch-up appointments to maintain the results.
  • Dry Skin: Clients with dry skin may experience more discomfort during the microblading procedure, as the skin may be more sensitive. However, the pigment may also heal more evenly on dry skin.
  • Sensitive Skin: Clients with sensitive skin may be more prone to allergic reactions or inflammation after the procedure. A patch test is especially important for these clients to ensure that they do not have an allergic reaction to the pigment.
  • Aging Skin: Clients with aging skin may also be good candidates for microblading, as the procedure can help to fill in sparse brows and create a more youthful appearance. However, the technician may need to adjust the technique and pigment to accommodate for thinner, more delicate skin.

Ultimately, the suitability of microblading depends on the individual client and their specific skin type and concerns. It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced technician to determine if microblading is a good fit for your skin type and desired outcome

Aftercare

  • Avoid getting your brows wet for the first 7-10 days after the procedure. This includes showering, swimming, and sweating.
    Do not pick or scratch at the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks after the procedure.
  • Apply the aftercare cream or ointment provided by your technician 2-3 times a day to help with the healing process and prevent infection.
  • Avoid using makeup, creams, or lotions on or around the treated area for at least 10 days after the procedure.
    Avoid strenuous exercise for at least a week after the procedure to prevent excessive sweating.
  • Avoid sleeping on your face for at least the first few days after the procedure.
  • Do not touch or rub the treated area with your fingers, as this can introduce bacteria and cause infection.
