Behind the Stages: Scabbing & Flaking During Brow PMU Healing
The scabbing and flaking stage might not be the most glamorous part of the brow permanent make-up journey, but it's an essential step for achieving flawless, long-lasting results. Let's dive into the reasons behind this crucial healing process.
When you undergo a cosmetic tattoo procedure, micro-pigments are implanted into the skin to create a beautiful, semi-permanent makeup look. The process causes small, controlled injuries to the skin, which trigger the body's natural healing response. Here's what happens during the scabbing and flaking stage:
1️⃣ Formation of Scabs: Scabbing occurs as the body forms a protective barrier over the treated area. This barrier, made of blood clots, platelets, and fibrin, safeguards the wound from bacteria and infection while allowing new skin cells to form beneath.
2️⃣ Flaking & Shedding: As the skin underneath heals and regenerates, the outer scab layer begins to flake and shed. This process reveals the new, healthy skin below, which has absorbed the implanted pigment.
3️⃣ Color Stabilization: Once the scabs have shed completely, the colour of the brows may appear lighter than expected. But don't worry! As the skin continues to heal and rejuvenate, the colour will stabilize and settle into the skin, giving you the stunning, natural-looking results you desire.
