You must protect your freshly microbladed brows from moisture. This means no how steamy showers, saunas,sweaty workouts, swimming, or washing your face for a couple of weeks. If they get wet, the scab will come off prematurely and you will lose the pigment. Please take this aftercare seriously and follow carefully to ensure your fresh brows maintain lasting results.
Failing to follow these steps has the potential of leaving you disappointed, and you may need to return for extra appointments.
