Every microblading journey at BonBrow is planned around a 6–8 week touch-up. It's not optional — it's essential.
Why You Need a Touch-Up
Microblading typically retains 70–80% of pigment on the first pass. Some strokes fade more than others. The touch-up evens everything out.
What Happens at the Touch-Up
- Assessment: Soza evaluates how your skin healed and which areas need more pigment
- Re-map: If the shape needs minor adjustments, we mark them
- Work: Fill in any gaps, deepen pale strokes, adjust color if needed
- Duration: 1–1.5 hours (shorter than initial session)
- Numbing: Same as initial session — heavy topical
What Not to Expect
The touch-up is not a "redo." We're not repeating everything — just refining.
How to Prep
Same as initial session: - No blood thinners (check with doctor) - No caffeine/alcohol day of - No active skincare on brows for 7 days - Come with brows clean and makeup-free
Healing
Same process as initial healing, but typically: - Less intense - Shorter scabbing phase - Faster final result (often visible at week 3)
After Your 6-Week Touch-Up
- Your brows are now "done" — no more sessions needed until 12–18 months
- Schedule your first refresh ~12 months out
- Normal aftercare continues: SPF, no retinol on brows, gentle skincare
If You Miss the 6-Week Touch-Up
Past 8 weeks, healed skin needs more work and the touch-up may be priced as its own session. Don't skip it — budget the time now.
Text us a week before your touch-up appointment if you need to adjust — most clients need it right at 6–8 weeks.
