Is it okay to get your eyebrows wet during the 7 days after getting your eyebrows microbladed?

My cosmetic tattoo technician has specified in her aftercare steps to gently wash your eyebrows with cetaphil and warm water, and then to pat them dry after, and following up with the aftercare lotion. I have been doing this, but after doing some research I have discovered that most microblading places advice against getting them wet. Will the water affect the colour and make the strokes dissapear? Help!!!

You're absolutely right!It's best to wait until after your surgery, and its healing, before doing the procedure.  The browlift is intended to raise your brow postion and this will definitely impact on placement of the ink.  And, your brow position will also drop a bit after the surgery.C...

Thank you for your question. Retinol can help fade the appearance of the tattoo, you should also ask your physician about tattoo removal if all else fails.
