What is Microblading
Microblading is a type of semi-permanent cosmetic "tattoo" that is meant to look like real brow hair. Each individual hair stroke is created one by one with a manual hand tool made of tiny needles formed into a super thin blade. You're kept very comfortable with 2 strong topical anesthetics, It truly doesn't hurt at all. Pigment will be absorbed into the shallow strokes. It will then heal into the skin, and once fully healed, will reveal a perfectly natural looking brow hair. It generally lasts 1-2 years and takes 2 appointments to finalize. It's a technique that's a solution to sparse, uneven or thinning eyebrows. It is ideal to cover scars, gaps, define shape or symmetry, create an arch or add density to existing brows and offers a natural looking result. A pigment color is used or created that enhances your eyes, lash color and skin color.
The Process
Each appointment typically lasts about 2 hours. We begin by determining what you want to change with your brows and evaluate your skin. Then your brows are cleansed and disinfected and a new brow shape is mapped out and designed with pencil. I listen to you and based on what YOU want I create a shape that works best for your face. Once the shape is in place and approved by you, I determine a color formula specific to you. Once color and shape are decided then I start the procedure. For a pain-free experience, numbing solutions are applied beforehand and throughout the procedure.
Keep in mind microblading is not the best for all skin types. For instance, if you have oily skin you may need more frequent touch-ups. Some clients may want to consider powder brows instead or a combination of microblading and powder (shading). That can be determined at the appointment.
Color will appear slightly bolder right after the procedure, the color typically fades/softens up to 25%. There is no swelling. You will walk out looking great!
When healed, in about 4-6 weeks, you come in for a follow up appointment which is included.
.
If you’re out in the sun a lot, use anti-aging creams, peels or Retin-A near your brows they will fade faster. The better you care for the treated area the longer it will last. A color boost every year is recommended to keep the brows looking fresh.
Eyebrows are arguably one of your most important facial features. If you're not satisfied with the ones you have, there are now ways to update them with more longterm results!
