Microblading While Breastfeeding: Is It Advisable?

Insights, Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at May 5th, 2024

Microblading offers a semi-permanent solution to flawless, well-defined brows. However, for new mothers or mothers-to-be, it's wise to consider the potential risks associated with this procedure while breastfeeding. In this article, we'll examine the data-backed advice on why it’s typically best to wait until after breastfeeding to get microblading treatment.

Microblading While Breastfeeding | What Is Microblading?

Microblading uses a thin blade to draw hair-like strokes of semi-permanent pigment onto the skin, filling in flaws, thickening, shaping, and enhancing your brows. Because microblading is a semi-permanent treatment, an initial touchup is needed after the first 6-8 weeks to perfect the look; after this initial touchup, you can come in every 6-18 months for another touchup. At a reputable microblading salon, the process begins with analyzing your facial structure using face-mapping techniques; this ensures that the enhancements perfectly complement your existing features. Skilled brow artists use an ultra-thin blade to draw hair-like strokes in the natural direction of your eyebrow hair growth, creating a seamless and natural look. An aftercare routine is highly recommended post-treatment to ensure quick healing and long-lasting results.

Expert Advice and Recommendations

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, hormonal fluctuations can impact the body. These changes can make the skin more sensitive to and susceptible to infection. Additionally, the healing process may slow down due to these hormonal shifts, increasing the risk of complications. Hormonal changes can also affect the color of the pigment used in microblading. A pigment that suits your skin tone during pregnancy may not look the same after your hormones return to normal levels postpartum; this can result in a mismatch that could be disappointing after spending time and money on the procedure. Ultimately, waiting until after breastfeeding to get microblading done is the safest choice for both mother and baby. The post-breastfeeding period will ensure that hormonal levels have stabilized, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring that the pigment color and healing process proceed smoothly.
