Introduction
Microblading is a popular semi-permanent makeup technique used to enhance eyebrows by creating hair-like strokes using a manual blade and pigment. While it yields natural-looking results, one common concern among clients is why microblading turns red after the procedure. Let’s delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon.
Understanding Microblading
Microblading involves making tiny incisions in the skin’s surface and implanting pigment into the epidermis layer. This process can cause slight trauma to the skin, leading to temporary inflammation and redness in the treated area.
Factors Contributing to Redness:
- Skin Sensitivity: Individuals with sensitive skin may experience more pronounced redness post-microblading due to heightened skin reactivity.
- Skin Type: Oily or combination skin types are more prone to redness and inflammation as they have larger pores and produce more oil, which can exacerbate irritation.
- Technique and Depth: If the microblading technician works too aggressively or goes too deep during the procedure, it can result in increased trauma to the skin and subsequent redness.
Healing Process
After microblading, the treated area undergoes a healing process where the skin repairs itself. During this phase, mild swelling, tenderness, and redness are common as the body responds to the micro-injuries inflicted during the procedure.
Managing Redness After Microblading
- Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or scratching the treated area to prevent further irritation.
- Keep It Clean: Follow proper aftercare instructions provided by your microblading technician, which may include gentle cleansing and application of recommended ointments or serums.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and UV exposure, as this can exacerbate redness and prolong the healing process.
Understanding why microblading turns red can alleviate concerns and help clients better prepare for the healing process. By following proper aftercare protocols and seeking guidance from a skilled technician, individuals can ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
