Immediately after the procedure, use the provided moistened cotton pads to gently blot — not rub — the brow area every 30 minutes until bedtime. The next day, continue blotting every 3 to 4 hours as gently as possible. For the first two days only, keep both brows clean with water, using a cotton swab if needed. After the second day, do not touch the brows. After the first two days, do not allow the brows to be wet for the first 2 weeks; this includes excessive sweating and steamy showers. Avoid brow makeup, waxing, threading, and tinting for 3 weeks. Do not pick, pull, or scratch crust/scabbing; allow it to exfoliate naturally. Brows may appear about 30% darker than the final outcome. 6D microblading follows the same healing process and aftercare as ombre brows.
