WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICROBLADING?
Microblading is for clients who have a busy/active lifestyle who do not have time to fuss over makeup application. It can also benefit clients who do not have the physical ability to apply makeup on a daily basis or who have lost their brows over time due to illness or over-tweezing.
HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?
4 hours on average. This includes the time it takes to map out the perfect brow shape and color. The actual procedure itself takes about 2 – 3 hours.
IS THE FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?
The purpose of the follow up appointment is to ensure the brows are healing properly and to make any necessary adjustments. We will also go over any areas that have lightened excessively. After this, the results will last 1 – 2 years.
HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?
Microblading is a semi-permanent treatment and will fade over time. Touch ups are recommended every 1-2 years to revive the look. Many factors affect the longevity of the results:
- Oily skin will fade faster than dry skin
- Younger skin will fade faster than mature skin
- Sun exposure can cause fading and discoloration
- Use of anti-aging products (ex. Retinol)
DOES MICROBLADING HURT?
There is some discomfort associated with the procedure. A topical anesthetic is used to numb the area. After the anesthetic has taken effect the discomfort is very mild. The anesthetic is reapplied throughout the process to further numb the incisions being made.
DOES IT HURT AFTERWARDS?
The area can feel sore for the first few hours and tender for up to a week after the appointment.
CAN I GET MICROBLADING IF I’M PREGNANT?
It is not recommended to have microblading done if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
WILL IT DAMAGE MY NATURAL EYEBROWS?
Existing natural hairs will not be removed. These hairs are desirable as they will merge and blend with the strokes providing a natural look. Only the hairs that do not blend with the desired shape are to be removed.
