What IS Microblading?
Microblading is a manual hand held tool used to create extremely fine natural looking hair strokes. The results? Perfectly natural looking, thick, full brows. Results varies due to skin type,health,and after care.
How long does Microblading last?
Depending on your skin type, care,and lifestyle the pigment will fade slowly over 18-24 months. Results Varies.
Is Microblading painful?
Its painless, an antiseptic cream is applied before the procedure to numb the area.
How does it work?
The pigment is applied with a specific hand held tool that has a row of several fine needles to create thin hair like marks in the skin. I will choose needles and the blade type according to the technique and the skin type. The pigment is bladed just below the epidermis and the most shallow part of the dermis, making extremely fine natural looking hair strokes. A very natural result is achieved, as the hairs are bladed into the skin according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch up is included 6 weeks after your initial procedure.
How long does the service last?
The appointment should take about an hour and a half

Is there any after-procedure care?
End fully healed results varies on how the client does during the healing process, the healing process is a HUGE factor in healed results. 6 wk touch up also is a big factor in end results.
Yes! Make sure to avoid ALL of the following:
• Increased sweating, practicing sports, swimming, hot sauna, hot bath or jacuzzi, sun tanning or salon tanning.
• Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycol Acid on the face or neck.
• Picking, peeling or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris.
• Drinking alcohol in excess as it may lead to slow healing of wounds.
After 3 full days of not washing/getting brows wet you can..
• Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab or clean finger
• Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post microblading procedure, However, experience has shown that by following these aftercare instructions these symptoms may quickly disappear.
DO NOT use anything on the brow area while healing only the healing lotion provided to you, other products/creams WILL pull brow pigment out.
What happens during the touch up?
The touch up is recommended 6 weeks after initial procedure. During your touch up, I will fill in missing pigment, touch up any areas needed. Also, the touch up is where I add volume and density to the eye brows. Also, with all semi- permanent and permanent make up if you DO NOT do your follow up 6 week apt pigment will NOT LAST/STAY.
What's the Microblading healing process like?
Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 3-4 weeks after treatment. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape/design is recommended at 6 weeks after initial treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right!
Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still seating on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually (do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin).
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.
Your eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later skin cells push it back to the upper layers. Once the healing is completed, you will enjoy a pair of beautiful, new, natural looking eyebrows.
