FAQs
What is Microblading
Microblading involves using a pen-like hand tool to deposit pigment into the skin. A “blade” that consists of tiny, short acupuncture needles is used, hence the name “microblading”. Individual feathered hair strokes are drawn onto the skin by hand, mimicking real hair. The result is natural-looking eyebrows!
Microblading can be used to fill in sparse areas or bald patches in the brows, darken light or blonde eyebrows, correct uneven brows, define brow shape, or create a whole new eyebrow for those with little or no hair. It lasts up to 2 years and doesn’t damage your natural hairs. It’s also waterproof, sweatproof, and smudge-proof. Microblading is considered semi-permanent makeup because it will fade within a few years. As your skin regenerates, old skin cells are shed, eventually taking the pigment with them, and new skin cells will grow.
Is Microblading For Me?
When considering if microblading is a good choice for you, skin type and thickness, as well as lifestyle, should be evaluated.
Large Pores & Oily Skin – Microblading is not ideal for individuals with extremely large pores or thick and oily skin. Oil and large pores can lead to the dye completely disappearing. Clients should be aware that the result might not be as defined for them as it would be for individuals with drier skin.
Low Iron Levels – Clients who have low iron levels should also be careful with microblading. The dye used is an iron oxide pigment. Thus, if your body is lacking iron, it can pull it from the dye and leave you with a much lighter color than anticipated.
Chemotherapy – For patients who have had or are going through cancer, microblading cannot be done during chemotherapy. The effect of chemotherapy on pigments has not been well studied; therefore, it should be avoided. However, microblading is an option a year after chemotherapy treatments.
Sunlight Exposure – Lifestyle is another consideration. Those who spend a lot of time in the sun may also not be a good fit for microblading. Extreme exposure to sunlight can lead to quicker fading of the pigment used.
Facial Treatments – Clients should not have had any laser treatment, chemical peels, microdermabrasion treatment within two weeks of microblading. These treatments make the skin sensitive for a period, and the skin needs to heel before microblading.
How long does it take?
The procedure itself takes approximately 1 hour. However, on your first visit, please expect your first appointment to last up to 3 hours, which will include the consultation and pre-draw.
How long does it take to heal?
DAY 1: Eyebrows look amazing immediately after microblading appointment. Pigment gradually gets darker throughout the day
WEEK 1: Pigment reaches darkest level on day two. Light flaking develops where microblading strokes occurred
WEEK 2: Scabbing from microblading strokes begin to peel and flake off, sometime revealing no definite, visible color in skin.
WEEKS 3-4: Pigment in skin continues to oxidize and microblade strokes begin to reappear in color intended from the beginning, but some strokes may come back looking patchy.
WEEKS 6-8: Eyebrows fully healed and ready to undergo the finishing effects of touch-up appointment

Microblading
Post-Procedural Care:
Steps After the Procedure
-
The area treated may show redness and swelling and that the color looks dark and intense – this is quite normal.
-
Additional treatments cannot be undertaken until the area has completely healed. A 6–8-week healing time is required before any more work can be undertaken.
-
In order to let your brows, heal well, avoid water on the brow area, the gym, sauna or pool for 10 days.
-
Avoid make-up to the brows for 2 weeks.
-
Once the area has healed completely, approximately 6 weeks, consider using a waterproof total sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color fading.
-
Strong chemicals or glycolic acid/peels of any kind may cause the pigment to lighten. Always telephone and check with your consultant if in any doubt.
-
Do not pick or pull at the treated area as it will result in pigment loss. You will go through three healing phases: 1-heal, 2-peel and 3-fade
-
You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is quite normal and will subside within 12 hours. If you find any lymphatic fluid or blood weeping you can gently clean the area with saline, cool boiled water and gauze, or just blotting gently dry to remove any moisture.
-
Newly tattooed eyebrows should not be touched for the first 24 hours. On day 2, gently wash day and night with clean hands using water and the provided soap. Then apply a fine layer of aftercare balm to the treated area. Repeat using procedure up to 3 times a day if the area feels tight for the next 10 days.
