Modern women are ready for anything for the sake of beauty, especially for the beauty of the eyebrows. Recently, a procedure such as microblading has become increasingly popular. After this procedure, the eyebrows need special care, which contributes to the speedy and painless healing. How to properly care for eyebrows, what means to use - we will consider in this article.
Features
Proper eyebrow and skin care is needed not only after microblading, but also before the procedure itself. If you prepare incorrectly for the procedure and do not take into account some facts, then the result will not please you, and the healing process will take place more painfully and unpredictably.
A couple of days before going to a specialist, it is strictly forbidden to visit a sauna, sunbathe on the beach, or visit a solarium. In addition, do not do face cleansing or peeling, drink plenty of fluids, take blood thinners, pain medications, or alcohol.
These rules were invented for a reason, and if you want the procedure to go perfectly and the healing process is short-lived, you must take this into account.
On the day when you go to do microblading, you can’t categorically drink a lot of liquid, otherwise after the end of the procedure there will be a lot of redwood, which will adversely affect the quality of work. Three hours before the start of the procedure, you can neither eat nor drink.
After the procedure is completed and the eyebrows become perfect, an important healing phase will begin. However, the healing period consists of several stages, during which you need to follow all the rules and use only the recommended care products. We will disclose all detailed recommendations later in our material.
Funds
In order to properly care for the eyebrows after a procedure such as microblading, be sure to treat fresh wounds with special tools.
Without fail, you will need an antiseptic such as, for example, Chlorhexidine. Next, you will need tools that help accelerate the healing process of injured skin, improve and accelerate the regeneration process.
It is best to choose the ointment, in the composition of which there is such a component as dexpanthenol. In pharmacies, a variety of ointments are sold, so be sure to look at their composition to make sure that the necessary component is definitely in this tool. You will also need some kind of tool that has a softening effect. The most common cosmetic Vaseline can handle this task.
All these tools will help prevent microbes from getting on the irritated area of the skin and minimize the likelihood of various infections. In addition, they contribute to the speedy healing and improve the survival of the pigment, which is very important.
Healing period
Immediately after the procedure, the master must treat the eyebrows with a special anti-inflammatory agent. Two hours after the procedure, you will need to carefully, gently using a napkin, remove the remnants of the ointment that the master applied to you in the cabin.
Next, you will need to follow certain rules and take care of the eyebrows yourself.
It doesn’t matter whether you performed the procedure for the first time or took a correction course - proper care is still very important.
Since the microblading procedure involves the introduction of pigment under the skin with a thin needle, small wounds remain on the skin, of which in the first days a liquid oozes can ooze. It must be removed immediately, or rather, carefully, without pressing on the skin, soak with a clean cloth. Do not try to remove it completely: if a small part of the sucrose remains, then this is normal, since the eyebrows will need to be covered with a small, thin crust.
In addition, on the first day it is necessary to treat the eyebrow area with an antiseptic, which we talked about above. Thanks to this remedy, a large amount of sucrose will not be secreted, and the healing process will be accelerated.
I would like to mention that in the event that you do not remove the donut in time and it begins to dry out, a small crust will form. This peel when falling off can take on part of the pigment, and then the eyebrows will no longer be perfect.
If on the first day in the eyebrow area there can only be redness, then on the second day small swelling and swelling may appear. Also, a slight itching often appears. These sensations are extremely unpleasant, and it is very important to remember that it is strictly forbidden to touch the “new” eyebrows with your hands, scratch and wet them. Over the next week, it is very important to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the area in which the procedure was performed.
In the event that in the first days you wet your eyebrows, there is a high probability that the pigment may come off a little, and this will affect the general appearance of the eyebrows. If, nevertheless, small drops of water fell on the eyebrows, then in no case should you wipe them - let the drops dry on their own.
As for edema, itching and dry skin that occur on the first day after the procedure, you should smear the problem areas with ointments or petroleum jelly. You should not be afraid and worried about itching and peeling of the skin - this is a natural process that directly indicates that the healing mechanism is active.
At first, try to apply the ointment or petroleum jelly very carefully, do not rub into the skin in any case. Everything should be done with light movements, trying not to touch the irritated areas of the skin.In general, these days try not to touch the irritated areas of the skin with your hands - this can provoke additional irritation and delay the healing process. Also, you can not touch that part of the skin that has already begun to peel off.
It’s categorically impossible to peel off the crusts yourself either - everything should gradually fall away on your own.
Try these days not to apply your regular face cream on these problem areas of the skin. It is also not worth it to abuse vaseline - it should be applied only if there is severe dryness and pulls the skin.
In just five to six days, the next healing stage will begin. There will be no edema or itching anymore - just peeling. It is very good when by this time the renewed eyebrows are covered with a uniform and not very noticeable crust - this indicates that the healing process is proceeding correctly. These days, you can use ointments, which we talked about above, and use the tool that your master recommended after the procedure.
If a week after microblading, some of the crusts formed have already peeled off, and new crusts do not appear and the eyebrows become soft, this indicates that everything is fine and the healing process is almost complete.
There are several more rules that must be followed during the healing period. In the first two weeks, you should try to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the pigment will immediately begin to fade. In addition, it is strongly not recommended to sunbathe, visit the solarium, sauna or pool. It is also worth abandoning sports, since physical activity can also lead to unpredictable consequences.
How to care?
After eyebrow cosmetic procedure, it is necessary to take care of the eyebrows, otherwise the result will not please you for a long time. Wizards always warn that the result can last as long as possible only if you listen to the advice and do everything step by step.
After all stages of healing are left behind, you need to start to properly care for your eyebrows. Now they need special hydration, otherwise dry skin will provoke pigment excretion.
You can wash yourself only very carefully, and even then only a week after the procedure. This must be done very delicately and try to prevent water from entering the eyebrow area. In the event that your eyebrows have completely healed, you can completely wash yourself, as before, without fear of damaging your skin. It is best at the first stage to abandon the usual foam or gels, giving preference to ordinary children's soap. It is also worth abandoning peelings and scrubs for some time, and after a full recovery they can be used only gently so as not to touch the eyebrow zone.
Usually this procedure is carried out in the warm season, so cosmetologists recommend hiding eyebrows from sunlight.
But it is also worth mentioning that you need to protect the updated eyebrows from the cold. Any aggressive temperature, be it cold or heat, is very detrimental to the healing process and the pigmentation itself. Therefore, try to avoid sudden changes in temperature, because it can easily provoke inflammation.
Also, do not go outside in bad weather if there is heavy rain or strong winds. In the first weeks, rain and dampness can adversely affect the beauty of the eyebrows, and a strong wind with sand and dust can provoke an infection, since the wounds have not yet completely healed. If you sweat in extreme heat even at home, then drops of sweat can also adversely affect healing.
Even after the entire healing process is left behind, try to avoid the bright sun, as this adversely affects the pigment, and it will quickly fade or change its color.
It is very important to remember that violation of the rules and improper care of eyebrows can lead to very different and sometimes unpredictable consequences.For example, incorrect pigment styling may occur, as a result, bald spots form on the eyebrows, which will differ sharply from the general color and tone. Also, overdrying or waterlogging of the skin can lead to the fact that the result will be damaged.
In the event that as a result of improper care the final result was spoiled, only a professional can correct everything by correction.
Useful Tips
Finally, we have some practical advice for everyone, who strive for perfect beauty and value the shape of their renewed eyebrows.
- After all the dry crust comes off with an eyebrow, their color may change slightly. This should not be scared, as this is the norm. Literally three to four weeks after the procedure, the eyebrows will regain their color, and there will be no fading.
- It is important to remember that the first time after the procedure, even if the healing process is already behind, do not use decorative cosmetics. You can start using it only after three to four weeks.
- Before the procedure itself, a professional cosmetologist who does his job efficiently must definitely check if you are allergic to the chosen dye. Usually the pigment is dripped onto a small scratch and wait half an hour. Remember that this is very important for your health.
In the event that there are any inflammatory processes on the skin, the real master should refuse to carry out the procedure.
