What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanant make-up procedure that allows the artist to reconstruct a persons eyebrows. It is possible to achieve the most natural finish or a bolder looking effect. Microblading is performed by depositing the pigment under the epidermal layer of the skin by a hand held manual blade.

How long does the procedure take?

2 hours or less. Clients who have no hair, might take a bit longer. This includes mini consult, numbing & procedure for all clients.

What is the procedure process like?

1.Upon arrival you will fill out consent forms 2.Artist will meet with you to conduct a consultation to discuss questions, concerns and desired brow shape 3.Brow shaping and very detailed brow mapping is done until the perfect custom brow shape is achieved. Client approval is needed. 4.Microblading session begins (first pass of pigmentation) 5.You will begin a 25 minute numbing process 6.Microblading continues (second pass of pigmentation)

How long does it last?

Results vary depending on your skin type and lifetstyle. Normal to dry skin - up to 2 years (touch-ups recommended annually) T-zone/Oily - will need touch ups more frequently. (twice a year on average) Very oily skin can cause fading and touch ups are needed every 4 months on average. Medications can affect your retention and can cause fading much quicker (Anti-Anxiety, thyroid, heart meds etc...)

If a client has no hair, that will not be a problem. Due to the high demand in services, consultations may not be available for a few weeks out.

Does Microblading Hurt?

We use a medical grade Lidocaine 5% numbing creme. Pain is a 3 out of a 10. Clients have different pain threshhold. It is best to not microblade during your menstrual cycle, as pain sensitivity is higher.

• People who are pregnant or breastfeeding

What is the difference between Microblading & tattood eyebrows?

Unlike eyebrow tatooing or permanant makeup, the microblading technique involves drawing individual, crisp hairstrokes that are more natural looking. A microblade is several times more thinner than the needles used on a tatoo machine. Microblade strokes heal much thinner and crips...they also do not blur.

How long is the healing process?

• Results vary depending on your health and age.
• The healing of your skin takes 25-35 days for the full pigment retention to occur.
• Be prepared not to wet the brows excessively the first two weeks.
• Brows will be up to 40% darker and bolder the first 9 days as mild scabbing will form
• Once the scabbing period is over, you will experience the "milky effect" which will look as if pigment completely disappears. The skin will continue to heal over the next three weeks and will pull the pigment back up to the skin
• 4-6-week perfecting touch up is scheduled

How to prepare for microblading?

• Do not take fish oils the week of the procedure
• Do not take ibuprofen or blood thinners the day of the procedure (do not discontinue prescribed medications without physician approval)
• It is best to not microblade the week you are menstruating. Pain sensitivity is heightened, and your skin becomes tougher
• Do not drink coffee the morning of your microblading procedure
• Exercising and Work outs are not recommended after procedure.

Is the perfecting touch up necessary?

The perfecting touch up is always recommended. Microblading is a two step process. The first session creates the shape while the touch up adds most of the detail and density. Correction to any lost strokes or color can be achieved during this session giving the brows more life and a much more fullness.
