How to care for your eyebrows after microblading or microshading

Hello! Thank you so much for coming to Mu Studio and trusting us with your face. Whether you've had your eyebrows, eyeliner, or lips done, our mission is to make you smile every time you look in the mirror. 🥰

Since the first few days are key to ensuring that the result is exactly what you imagined, we would like to share the following tips and recommendations with you.

What you will see in the first few days

It is normal for the color to appear more intense at first and then fade during the healing process. Don't be alarmed; this is part of the process. The final shade—the real one, yours—is what you will see after a month. That's why we wait at least 30 days before assessing whether a touch-up or maintenance is needed (which is not included in the first session).

A guide to what you can expect:

Days 1–4: The color appears darker and more intense. A protective layer forms on the surface, like a light scab. This is temporary, and it is very important not to remove it.

Days 5–12: This layer begins to peel off on its own. The area may appear lighter or even whitish—this is completely normal. Do not touch it.

Days 14–30: The color gradually returns. The skin stabilizes and the actual tone begins to take shape.

Ointment is your ally

During the first five to eight days, apply the ointment with a clean cotton swab every three hours. A very thin layer is sufficient—if it looks shiny or greasy, it is too much. The skin needs to breathe to heal properly, but it also needs the ointment to retain as much pigment as possible. Never apply the ointment if the area is damp or wet.

Water: with caution

You can wet your face, but avoid letting water fall directly on your eyebrows. It is not the water itself that affects the pigment—it is the pressure of the shower on the skin. Also avoid intense exercise or any activity that causes sweating on the face for the first 10 days.

What to avoid

During the first two weeks: no makeup on the area, do not scratch or peel off the scab, avoid swimming pools, the sea, saunas, steam rooms, and prolonged exposure to the sun.

Long term: avoid using products containing retinol, glycolic acid, AHA, or BHA directly on your eyebrows as they can fade the pigment over time. If at any time you have a chemical peel, laser treatment, or other cosmetic treatment on your face, inform your specialist that you have micropigmentation.

About the touch-up

Touch-ups are optional, but recommended. Not all skin types require them—some retain greater amounts of pigment from the first session. If you need one, it does not mean that the service was poorly performed; it simply means that your skin retained less pigment, which is completely normal and expected. Touch-ups are not included in your first session and can be scheduled one month after the service has been performed.

Signs to watch out for

Itching and scab detachment are normal during the first week. However, if you notice severe redness, inflammation, excessive heat, or discharge in the area, contact us immediately.
