What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that allows you to dramatically correct or fully reconstruct lost eyebrows. Eyebrow Microblading is performed by manually depositing pigment in the basal layer of the epidermis by a special tool. Unlike permanent eyebrow tattoos, Microblading involves implanting pigment to look like individual hairs. The blade of a Microblading pen contains numerous needles that are 3 times thinner than the needles used for tattooing. Technicians use a numbing solution to limit discomfort. Clients usually require a touch-up within the first eight weeks. It can last up to 18 months.
Who should not get Microblading?
People who are under the age of 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetics not under control, prone to keloids, and anyone whose health may prevent them from healing properly.
Who should get Microblading?
Everyone else!
How should I prepare for my Microblading appointment?
Prior to your appointment do not ingest any substances that would thin your blood, such as: aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, or excessive caffeine. Make sure to eat a proper meal before your appointment. Don't come on an empty stomach. No waxing or tanning the area a week prior to your appointment.
What should I expect during my Microblading appointment?
Your Microblading appointment can take 2-3 hours. It will consist of discussing eyebrow shapes, custom rendering of suggested eyebrow shape, numbing the area, Microblading and discussing aftercare.
How should I care for my new brows?
At the time of your appointment, you will receive an aftercare packet. Please follow those directions carefully and use the included aftercare products.
What should I expect during the healing process?
Healing results may vary depending on the individual. Some scabbing may occur. It is important not to scratch or pick at any of the scabs in order to prevent pigment from falling out.
