Healing time varies for everyone but it takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in. You’ll notice the color is first dark about 2 days following the procedure then light right after two weeks of healing; the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. This is known as the milk skin and is common in tattooing. It is due to the the tissue still healing from the inside out even though the surface of the skin is healed. The color will fade by up to 40% as it heals. True color will reveal itself once healed. In the days following the procedure you will also notice slight scabbing. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome. During healing it is imperative to keep the area dry, NO MOISTURE! A very thin layer of aftercare ointment can aid itching and provide relief during healing.
