Scratching brows in sleep after Microblading. Should I be worried?

December 5, 2018
Asked By:Caitlin96 in Belfast, R3

Just had my brows microbladed 7 days ago for the first time. I haven’t been scratching or peeling the area while it’s been healing. However on one or two occasions I’ve woke up and noticed I’ve been scratching my brow in my sleep. Should I be worried about doing this and what effect can this have on the Microblading look.

Can wiping around my eyebrows with a damp towel lighten the pigments in the areas I want gone? (photos)
Tonya Boudreaux, MD says:

I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your brows. During the next couple weeks your brows will go through different stages. They will lighten, soften and appear less dramatic. I would recommend not trying anything at home to fade the pigment. Let the brows heal then have the brows touched...

Is it normal for one brow to look higher and thicker than the other brow after microblading? (Photo)
Tonya Boudreaux, MD says:

Hello, I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your brows. The brows will go through many changes during the healing process. As the brows heal they will lighten, shrink and soften.  Follow your after care instructions. At your touch up visit all corrections can be done at this time...

I was told numbing cream could not be applied because it would create a barrier and the ink wouldn't take. Is that true?
David P. Melamed, MD says:

Not correct.  The numbing cream is applied and left on for 20-30 minutes, and then removed.  The effect of the cream is not based on it remaining on your skin.
