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

Caitlin96Dec 5, 2018
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.

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...

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...

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.

Great question!  As long as you are not having an active outbreak, in the area to be treated, at the time of treatment and subsequent touch-up, you should be fine.  An active outbreak in places other than the area to be microblade does not necessarily rule out treatment...

Hello milanfc10101010, There should be no need to worry as long as the procedures are performed by an experienced licensed professional in a sterile setting, preferably with a physician available on site and that you follow all post care instructions.  Best to you,

You need to speak with your acne doctor about the safety of doing microblading in your exact sitation. It always pays to be safe
