Microblading after Halo treatment. Should I cancel?

Question

I had a Halo treatment done last week. I’m on day 3 of healing and still experiencing a lot of swelling and discoloration. My skin is dry & sand-papery. It is seeming like I might have a longer-than-anticipated recovery time. I forgot that I had booked a microblading touch-up at the end of this week (it will be 7 days after Halo treatment). Should I cancel? Could my skin’s recovery from the Halo treatment have a negative affect on the microblading or vice-versa?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, Microblading is safe after Halo Treatment since it has been 7 days and the Microblading is a less invasive treatment. Halo typically takes about 3 days for the skin to peel and therefore after 7 days you are in the safe zone to have the Microblading treatment done. I hope this was helpful. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is typical to still have swelling 3-4 days after the procedure. Sleeping with two pillows at nightime and avoiding salty foods will help reduce the swelling. The micoblading shouldn't be a no problem.

In almost all cases 7 days post halo would be totally fine to get your touch up. Halo is an extraordinarily adjustable laser so not all halo treatments are equal, but for the most part, swelling is reduced in 3-4 days and then it’s all about the rough skin working it’s way off. This is mostly done by 7 days. Microblading would be perfectly fine at this time.

Seven days post Halo should be fine to get  microblading.  Enough allotted time has gone by for you to be able to have procedures like this one. Hope this helps.
