Freshly enhanced brows after microblading or nanoblading can instantly make your face look more defined, balanced, and polished. However, the final result depends on more than the treatment itself. Proper aftercare helps protect the pigment, support healing, and prevent uneven fading of your brows.

Led by board-certified nurse practitioner Josh and co-founder Stacey, the experienced team provides personalized brow enhancements, including microblading and nanoblading, in a calm and professional setting.
Keep Your Brows Clean and Dry
Follow the cleansing instructions provided by your brow artist, as recommendations may vary based on the technique used. In most cases, you should avoid soaking the brows, taking long steamy showers, swimming, and using saunas during the initial healing period.
Gently blot away excess moisture or lymph fluid with a clean tissue if instructed. Avoid rubbing, scrubbing, or applying regular facial cleansers directly to the treated area.
Avoid Picking or Scratching
Your brows may begin to flake, scab, or feel itchy as they heal. Although it can be tempting to remove loose skin, picking can pull pigment from the skin, creating patchy results. Allow flakes and scabs to fall away naturally.
The brows may appear darker immediately after treatment and then lighten as the skin heals. This is a normal part of the process.
Protect the Pigment From Irritation
For the recommended healing period, avoid applying makeup, exfoliants, retinoids, acids, or anti-aging products directly around the brows. You should also limit heavy exercise if excessive sweating could reach the treatment area.
Once your brows have healed, applying sunscreen around them can help protect the pigment from premature fading caused by sun exposure.
Follow Your Touch-Up Schedule
Microblading and nanoblading typically require a follow-up appointment to refine the shape, fill lighter areas, and improve pigment retention. Attend your scheduled touch-up and continue following all personalized aftercare instructions from your provider.
