Do I need a personal consultation appointment before the Microblading?
The consultation appointment is not absolutely necessary but can help you remove any doubts and clarify questions.
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing. But unlike traditional tattoos, which use a tattoo gun, microblading uses a blade-shaped tool with a row of tiny, barely visible needles to create hair-like strokes along your brows while depositing pigment into your skin. The result? Realistic-looking brow hairs that don’t wash off foryears.
What is the difference between Microblading and “classic” Permanent Make up?
The first major difference between microblading and permanent makeup is the method of application. With the permanent method, a series of needles are either stacked or formed in a circle and a tattoo machine is used, vibrating to put the pigment into the skin. With this technique, the eyebrow area is filled in completely, where as with microblading, the manual blade consisting of multiple micro needles creates fine hair-like strokes to create the look of full, more natural brows.
Where microblading is strictly for your eyebrows, permanent makeup can also be used for other areas such as eyeliner or lips.
Do I look unnatural with Microblading?
Microblading does give a natural look. This method is excellent for those looking for a very natural look. Having good eyebrows can really help to boost the self-esteem and body image of people who feel self-conscious about thin or bare eyebrows.
How long does Microblading last?
The average longevity of the results of microblading is 12 to 18 months without additional touch ups.
There are many factors that can make your microblading fade quicker, just like there are cases where microblading can last up to 3 years. The longevity depends on age, skin type and sun exposure.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people report only feeling minimal pressure or less pain and discomfort than a regular tattoo due to the use of numbing cream. Of course, this will depend on your own personal tolerance to pain. Some level of pain or discomfort should be expected.
Are their risks of Microblading?
Yes, if you go to a certified technician who prioritizes your safety by keeping their workplace sanitary and using the best quality microblading products. Before getting the procedure, take the time to consult with your technician.
How long is the Procedure?
The procedure takes about two hours. Allow one hour for follow up appointments.

Do I need a follow-up treatment – Touch up?
The skin takes some time to heal after a microblading treatment.
During that period, your eyebrows will go through several phases. First, they will be too dark, then they will start scabbing, and finally, they will lose some of the color and you might think your microblading was unsuccessful.
The color comes back at the end of the healing period, but sometimes it can be uneven and patchy, as some of the pigment could come off with the scabs. Everybody’s skin heals differently and some clients might notice gaps and irregularities after the brows are healed.
The first microblading touch up includes adding additional strokes where the pigment didn’t settle properly. Sometimes, if the artist assesses pigment strokes won’t retain even after the second implementation, they will suggest adding microshading.
The touchup is there to correct all the possible imperfections. Its purpose is to fix what got messed up during the healing period. It’s also an opportunity to make some modifications, in case you feel the color or shape of the arches isn’t quite right yet.
Most people will benefit from microblading touch-ups every 12-24 months to maintain their desired look.
How do I look immediately after the treatment?
After the procedure, it is natural for some swelling and discomfort to occur. Apply an ice pack for about 10 minutes to bring some relief.
The eyebrows will appear bolder and darker in color with a more defined shape a few hours after the procedure. These results are attributed to the healing process and can last between 3-5 days.
During healing period (10 days) you should avoid contact with:
• water
• sun exposure and solarium
• sauna
• swimming pool
• strong sweating (extreme sport)
After care Treatment:
After the procedure you will get a AfterCareKit from your Microblading artist including Aftercare Wipes, a cream and cotton swabs. You will get precise instructions directly after the treatment because every skin type needs a special aftercare. As a general rule you should clean your brows periodically during the first 24-48 hours to avoid excessive scabbing. Then you can apply a very thin layer of the cream. You should repeat this 3 to 5 times a day.
What to keep into consideration during the acute healing process?( seven days after the treatment)
During the first seven days after the treatment it is important that you avoid make-up, powder or any cream on your eyebrows. In addition to that it is extremely important that you prevent to make contact with dust and maintaining constant contact with water. Do not touch your eyebrows with dirty fingers, don’t go for a swim or sunbathing and avoid extreme sports. It should be noted that it is worse for your eyebrows to do abrasive treatments around the eyes and eyebrows.
Long-term After care:
Even after the end of the healing process you should protect your eyebrows with sun cream and avoid solarium. It is not allowed to do Laser or IPL treatments in the eye area because this could result in burns and loosening of the pigmentation. The intake of antibiotics could cause a rapid loss or colour change of the pigmentation.
