What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure used to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows. A sterile, single-use manual tool with very fine needles is used to implant pigment into the upper layers of the skin, creating natural-looking hair strokes that mimic the appearance of real brow hair.
This technique is considered a form of cosmetic micropigmentation.
How is Microblading different from a Traditional Tattoo?
Unlike traditional tattoos, microblading deposits pigment in the superficial layers of the skin rather than the deeper dermis.
This allows the pigment to gradually fade over time, producing a softer and more natural appearance. The pigments used are specifically formulated for cosmetic micropigmentation and are designed to fade naturally.
How long does Microblading last?
Results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on several factors including:
• Skin type
• Sun exposure
• Skincare products used
• Lifestyle
• Pigment color
Annual touch-ups are recommended to maintain optimal results.
How many sessions are required?
Most clients require two sessions.
1️⃣ Initial appointment
2️⃣ Perfecting session (touch-up) performed 6–8 weeks later
This second session allows the technician to refine shape, adjust pigment retention, and perfect the final result.
Does Microblading hurt?
Most clients report minimal discomfort.
A professional topical anesthetic is used during the procedure to help keep the client comfortable. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but the majority of clients describe the sensation as mild.
How long does the procedure take?
The initial appointment typically takes 2 to 3 hours.
This includes:
• consultation
• brow mapping and design
• pigment selection
• the microblading procedure
Touch-up appointments are usually shorter.
What is the healing process like?
Immediately after the procedure the brows will appear darker and more defined.
During the healing process:
• slight redness may occur
• light scabbing may appear
• the pigment will soften and lighten
Full healing typically takes 7–14 days.
What should I do before my appointment?
To ensure the best results, clients should:
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior
• Avoid blood-thinning medications unless prescribed by a physician
• Avoid retinol or exfoliating treatments around the brow area
• Avoid sunburn or skin irritation before the appointment
Detailed pre-care instructions are provided when booking.
What should I do after the procedure?
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and pigment retention.
Clients should:
• Keep the area clean and dry
• Avoid sweating, swimming, and saunas during healing
• Avoid picking or scratching the brows
• Apply recommended aftercare products as directed
Full aftercare instructions will be provided after the procedure.
Who is not a good candidate for Microblading?
Microblading may not be recommended for individuals who are:
• pregnant or breastfeeding
• undergoing chemotherapy
• experiencing active skin infections
• using Accutane within the last year
• prone to keloid scarring
• currently taking certain blood-thinning medications
A consultation is always recommended to evaluate individual medical conditions and determine suitability for the procedure.
