Microblading

The healed results of microblading last 1- 3 years and will fade over time. However, it is recommended you get a touch-up every 12-18 months for color enhancement. Your lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type determine the schedule. Someone with an oilier skin type tends to experience results that fade quicker than someone with a drier skin type.

Microblading fills in sparse areas of your natural brow by using a very fine blade to deposit pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. The result is a natural, realistic hair stroke.

Microblading is not permanent. The results from microblading have semi-permanent qualities for two reasons. First, the pigment used for microblading has an iron oxide base rather than a carbon base used for permanent cosmetics. Second, microblading pigment is not implanted into the skin as deeply in comparison to permanent cosmetic procedures.

Microblading tends to fade gradually over time, so a touch-up is recommended 12-18 months after the initial microblading, which keeps the color of each micro-stroke looking vibrant. Even though the color gradually gets lighter, it is important to know it will not fade into shades of blue or pink like the fading that occurs with permanent cosmetics.

The average microblading appointment lasts two hours. Nothing is ever rushed during your microblading appointment because the results are a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo that stays on your face for an extended period. We insist on being thorough and taking the time to provide the most beautiful, natural-looking brows possible.

Keeping in mind that pain is subjective, most clients say they experience no discomfort during microblading. Any pain experienced has been compared to the feeling of a light scratch with minimal discomfort. We use a unique technique to apply a topical anesthetic to provide a comfortable microblading experience. Some clients have even been able to take a nap while undergoing their eyebrow transformation.

The aftercare is not complicated, but it does require some diligence to provide the best possible microblading results. During the first week, microblading aftercare requires applying the aftercare ointment. Except when applying the aftercare ointment, it is critical to make sure nothing else comes in contact with the eyebrow area. Avoid activities involving sun exposure, water, and even exercise to prevent perspiration. It is imperative to follow the aftercare instructions to get the best possible healed results. Please refer to the aftercare page for additional information.

The color will appear darker through the first few days or so. The pigment takes around seven days to enter the deeper layers of the skin. After seven to ten days, exfoliation takes place. The top layer of the skin peels off, leaving a softer, lighter color below. The result leaves you with softer and more natural lines. As the treated area continues to heal, itching may occur. Itching is a good sign as it means the skin is healing. The complete healing process for microbladed eyebrows typically takes six weeks, and then a touch-up appointment follows. We schedule the touch-up during the initial microblading session for six to ten weeks later.
