Week 1: Immediate Healing (Days 1–7)
Appearance of Brows: Expect your brows to appear darker and bolder

Scabbing: Note that scabbing or flaking may start by the end of the week.
Tips for Week 1
Avoid Makeup: Keep the brow area dry and avoid applying makeup.

No Touching: Resist the temptation to touch, scratch, or pick at the brows.
Week 2: Flaking & Fading (Days 7–14)
Flaking: Increased flaking and notice that colour may appear patchy or too light.
Skin Regeneration: These changes are normal as your skin regenerates.
Tips for Week 2
Avoid Exfoliants: Refrain from using exfoliants or active skincare products on the brows.
Be Patient: Recognise that true colour will gradually return as the healing process continues.
Week 3–4: Colour Comes Back
Pigment Reappearance: Expect the pigment to begin to reappear, settling into its final tone.
Natural Look: Your brows should now look more natural and refined, enhancing your facial features.
Tips for Weeks 3–4
Allow Natural Settling: Let the colour settle naturally without tinting or altering it too soon.
Return to Routine: You may resume your regular skincare routine, but avoid direct application of harsh acids on the brows.
Week 6: Perfection Visit Time
Touch-Up Appointment: This week signifies the time to return for your touch-up or "Perfection Visit."
Adjustments: Expect to make necessary adjustments to colour, or density of your brows.
Healing Differences by Brow Type
Microblading: Microblading tends to flake more noticeably and heals with a softer, hair-stroke effect.
Ombré Brows: Ombré Brows typically fades more evenly, with colour softening gradually to create a powdery finish.
Combination Brows: Combination Brows may experience qualities of both hair-stroke and shaded healing phases, requiring different expectations for healing.
