Brow Healing Stages - What to Expect
All fresh looks need time to heal. Initially, your brows may look sharp and dark, but this is normal. The color softens and fades by 30-60% as it heals.
Day 1-5:
Brows will appear much darker and may even look larger due to swelling. Slight redness and scabbing are normal during this time.
Day 5-14:
Scabbing naturally flakes off, and your brows will enter the "light phase," where they may look patchy and/or too light.
Day 12-30:
Color begins to return and your healed result takes at least 6+ weeks to emerge.
A touch-up is necessary in 6-12 weeks to perfect the shape and fill any light spots after healing.
