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?

It is normal to have a sandpaper-like texture to the skin 2 weeks after Halo. You will see changes in your skin up to 3-6 months. Follow up with your provider regularly to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have. They may want to start incorporating advanced medical skin care...
I always recommend that you refer to your surgeon first for approval. In my office, I like to tell our patients to wait 2-3 months post surgery for BBL/Halo due to post procedure swelling. Hope this helps.
