Got my eyebrows microbladed 7 days ago but have yet to get to the scabbing/peeling/flaking stage? Are they healing? (photos)

Got my eyebrows microbladed 7 days ago but I still am yet to get to the scabbing/peeling/flaking stage?? I’ve followed my aftercare down to a T. Cleaned my brows with the provided stuff for the first 24 hours and applied a thin layer of ointment like advised. After 24 hours just applied thin layer of ointment morning and night exactly as advised. Why aren’t they healing?? I’ve also lot a lot of pigment already!!

Swelling of the skin can happen post micro-blade, typically minor swelling subsides within the first three days. If selling continues or is severe you may have a skin allergy to the pigment used.

You may have wiped off only the initial scabbing post micro-blade. In some cases this can lift the ink used from the surface of the epidermis.

The pigment may have lifted completely from the epidermis, the red patches should subside once the skin is healed. Keep out of prolonged sun exposure so that the skins natural pigment does not darken while in its healing stages.
