What should I know about combination brows healing after my recent appointment? - #21772

I am kinda freaking out over here! So, I got combination brows done a few days ago, and honestly, I'm not sure what to expect with the whole combination brows healing process. Like, how long does it take? I was hoping to just wake up and have these perfect brows, you know? But now they look a little patchy, and I feel like I'm constantly checking the mirror! I mean, I followed all the aftercare instructions the artist gave me, but I still find myself worried. Is this normal? I did some research and found stuff about combination brows healing online, but every article says something different, which is totally confusing. Some people say you should avoid all makeup for a week, while others say just stay away from lotions or oils. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore! The lady told me that combination brows healing is a gradual process, but like, how gradual are we talking? On top of that, I've been trying not to touch my brows, but it’s hard! I mean, I haven't experienced any major issues like pain or excessive swelling, and they even got that scab thing going on that I read is pretty common during combination brows healing. But part of me wonders if I'm doing it right. I also had some dry patches, which I hope is part of the healing and not something more. I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance or advice from anyone who’s been through this. Did your combination brows healing go smoothly? Any tips for what to expect? How long till they looked fabulous? I can’t find a lot of testimonials or before and after pics that really help ease my mind during this whole combination brows healing cycle! Also, like, when can I actually start doing normal things again, like wearing makeup? Thanks so much for any insights! I just want to make sure I don’t mess this up!
