Combo Brows Healing & Aftercare
Combo brows combine hair strokes with soft shading, so healing can look slightly more intense than microblading alone. Here's what Wellington clients should expect after treatment with Kat.
Healing timeline
Combo brows follow a similar 7 to 14 day healing window to microblading. Brows appear dark for the first few days, then flake lightly before settling to a softer, more natural tone.
Shaded areas vs hair strokes
The shaded portion may heal slightly differently to the hair strokes — some patchiness is normal and corrected at your perfecting session. Don't judge your final result until at least 6 weeks after treatment.
Aftercare rules
Keep brows dry for the first 24–48 hours as Kat advises. No gym, saunas or swimming until scabbing and flaking has finished. Avoid makeup on the brow area until fully healed.
Oily skin and combo brows
Combo brows often suit oily skin better than microblading alone because the shading holds colour longer. Kat will recommend the right technique for your skin type at consultation.
