FAQ's
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that involves using a handheld tool with fine needles to deposit pigment into the skin, creating hair-like strokes to enhance and shape the eyebrows.
Microblading typically lasts between 12 to 24 months, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired look.
Most clients experience some discomfort, but it is generally tolerable. A topical anesthetic is applied before and during the procedure to numb the area and minimize pain.
The entire process usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, which includes consultation, design, and pigment application.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours before the procedure.
- Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure.
- Do not pluck, wax, or tint your eyebrows a week before the appointment.
- Follow any specific instructions provided by your technician.
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 7-10 days.
- Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area.
- Apply the recommended ointment as instructed.
- Avoid swimming, excessive sweating, and direct sun exposure during the healing period.
- Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
- Initially, your eyebrows will appear darker and more defined.
- Redness and slight swelling are common.
- The treated area will scab and peel within the first week.
- The final color will settle after 4-6 weeks, and a touch-up session is usually required to perfect the results.
Microblading is generally safe when performed by a trained and certified technician using sterile tools and high-quality pigments. It’s important to choose a reputable technician and follow all pre- and post-care instructions.
While most people can benefit from microblading, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, allergies, or medical issues. A consultation with a qualified technician is essential to determine suitability.
Microblading uses a manual tool to create fine, hair-like strokes for a natural look, while traditional tattooing often uses a machine to implant pigment deeper into the skin, resulting in a more solid and less natural appearance. Microblading is also semi-permanent, whereas tattooing is permanent.
Microblading does not affect the growth of your natural eyebrow hairs. It is designed to enhance and complement your natural brows, not replace them.
Touch-ups are typically recommended every 12 to 18 months to maintain the desired look, as the pigment will gradually fade over time. Some clients may need more frequent touch-ups, especially if they have oily skin.
