What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hair-like strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows. The goal is to create a full brow by using a blade to deposit cosmetic pigments into the skin’s epidermis (first layer).

How long will your brows last?

Cosmetic tattooing is much more superficial than body art tattooing and will only last between 1-3 years. A touch up should be scheduled 6-8 weeks after the first session. This will give the skin time to heal properly and the artist the ability to see what type of adjustments or additions need to be made.  If you want your brows to last, it is best to receive touch ups annually. Most people will need at least two sessions to obtain the desired results.

Important facts to consider:

1. Different types of skin retain ink better than others. If you have oily skin you are at risk of rejecting the pigment or pigment hydration, which may result in your strokes blending together and looking more like a powder brow, also known as pigment migration.
2. Skin that scars easily is also at risk during the healing process, so make sure to follow all aftercare instructions to the tee.
3. The procedure can take anywhere from 2-4 hours. The area is numbed for at least 20-30 minutes prior to beginning. The pre-draw step is the most crucial and can take up to 40 minutes or more. It is very important that the brows are as symmetrical as possible and that the client is happy with them before the Microblading is done.
4. With tons of practice an artist can almost guarantee that yours brows will be twins, not sisters, but there is always a chance they will not be identical. The bone structure and facial features play a huge part in how close we can get your eyebrows to look the same.
5. Yes, it may hurt a little. The artist will numb the brow area prior to beginning, which will help make the experience more comfortable. She will also use a topical numbing solution between passes on each side which will ease the pain after the first and second pass. The client may feel some pressure and scratch-like sensation.
6. It is important do your research before getting your brows Microbladed, and also to become familiar with the healing process. Review the dos and don’ts to ensure the best results. It is better to be prepared prior to arriving to your appointment. Brows cannot be wet during the healing process. This means you may want to wash your hair before getting them done. It is also recommended that you limit the amount of sun exposure and sweating your body endures during the healing process. It may cause the pigment to fade or smudge. Also, understand that the brows will lighten considerably after the first session. They will look darker when they are fresh and during the first part of the healing process, but trust the process, they will not stay that way forever.
