Is there a risk of scarring if you start microblading your eyebrows young?

Mamaof5MN9Aug 4, 2017
I am wanting to do microblading to my eyebrows, but I am scared if I start too young and keep it up for years that there will be potential for the skin to scar under my brows from being "cut open" each year. Is that a possibility? I can only find information on microblading right after people have it, not a year or two after to see the color and fade and how often you will need to get them touched up. Thank you

You're not the first, nor the last, to scratch at a scab- it happens.  Don't worry.  You're still actively healing and can expect some peeling, patchiness and scabbing along the way.Try to keep you hands clean and just keep your brows clean.  We expect there will be some changes over the fi...
