What to Expect During Your First Microblading Appointment

Thinking about getting your eyebrows microbladed? It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous before your first appointment. At Microblading by Cody, we’re here to make sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Step 1: Cleaning and Prep

We begin by thoroughly cleaning your brow area to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. This ensures a clean surface and helps prevent irritation or infection.

Step 2: Pain Management

Don’t worry—most clients describe the discomfort as mild. We apply a numbing cream to the brow area and allow it to sit for about 15–20 minutes before we begin.

Step 3: Shaping and Mapping

Cody will carefully measure and map out your brows to find the perfect shape for your face. You’ll have a chance to approve the outline before anything is done.

Step 4: The Microblading Procedure

Once your brows are numbed and shaped, the microblading begins. Using a hand-held tool with ultra-fine needles, Cody creates realistic, hair-like strokes with pigment. The entire process usually takes about 60–90 minutes.

Step 5: Aftercare Instructions

After your session, you’ll receive detailed home care instructions. This includes:

Avoiding excessive moisture and sweating for the first 7–10 days
Applying a healing ointment as directed
Not picking or scratching at the healing skin

Following the aftercare closely helps ensure your brows heal beautifully and retain their color.

Final Thoughts

Your brows may appear darker in the first few days, but don’t worry—they’ll lighten as they heal. A touch-up appointment is usually scheduled 6–8 weeks later to perfect the shape and color.
