What is Microblading & Aftercare.
All you need to know.
Treatment
Semi-permanent eyebrow treatment.
Blog
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment that creates fine, hair-like strokes to enhance the shape, fullness, and definition of your brows.
Using a precise handheld tool, pigment is carefully placed into the skin to mimic natural brow hairs — giving a soft, realistic finish that blends seamlessly with your existing brows.
At Meadow Lea Aesthetics, we specialise in results that are:
✨ Natural.
✨ Balanced.
✨ Tailored to your face.
No harsh blocks. No heavy lines. Just beautifully enhanced brows that suit you.
Who is it for?
Microblading is ideal if you:
- Have sparse, uneven, or overplucked brows.
- Want more definition without daily makeup.
- Struggle with asymmetry.
- Prefer a soft, natural look.
Benefits
✔️ Fuller, more defined brows.
✔️ Saves time on daily makeup.
✔️ Long-lasting results (typically 12–24 months).
✔️ Smudge-proof and low maintenance.
✔️ Customised shape and colour.
Aftercare
Essential for the best healed result:
First 24–48 hours
• Gently blot the brows to remove excess fluid.
• Keep the area clean and dry.
• Apply your recommended aftercare ointment sparingly.
• Brows will appear darker and more defined.
Days 3–10 (healing phase)
• Light scabbing and flaking is normal.
• Brows may look patchy as they heal.
• Do not pick, scratch, or rub.
What to avoid:
• Getting brows wet (no swimming/steam/sauna).
• Heavy sweating or gym sessions.
• Makeup on or around the brows.
• Sun exposure and sunbeds.
• Skincare products with active ingredients (retinol, acids).
General tips:
• Sleep on a clean pillowcase.
• Avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
• Follow all aftercare instructions given at your appointment.
Healing Timeline:
- Day 1–3: Brows appear darker and more defined
- Day 4–10: Flaking and light scabbing
- Week 2–4: Colour softens and may appear lighter
- Week 6–8: Final healed result + perfecting top-up
