Microblading, also known as Eyebrow Embroidery is a semi-permanent make-up technique that typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on skin type and skincare routine. The procedure is done by using a hand tool with ultra fine needles in the shape of a blade, hence the name microblade and is gently etched into the skin, giving an incredibly natural and realistic look. Microblading can dramatically correct or fully reconstruct lost eyebrows and is excellent for those wanting to enhance their eyebrows or who have little to no eyebrows, thinning eyebrows from age or over-tweezed eyebrows. Pigments used are chosen to match the natural or desired eyebrows color and skin tone will also be taken into consideration.

The eyebrow area will be slightly red after the procedure and color will appear very dark. This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process.
The color will fade by up to 40%-60% as it heals. In the following days, the eyebrows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight scabbing. Do not pick at the scabs as this may damage the skin and the outcome of the microbladed area.
The eyebrows will lighten up in color as it heals. No downtime is required after microblading procedure.
It takes approximately 7-10 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in.
You’ll notice the color is very light right after the two weeks after healing – the skin will have an opaque milky looking quality to it. This is known as the milk skin and is common in tattooing. This is due to the the tissue still healing from the inside out even though the surface of the skin is healed. True color will reveal itself once healed.

The procedure takes from 1.5 to 2.5 hours for the first time. Touch-ups take around 1.5 hours depending on retention and how much needs to be added.

The pain level for the procedure is considered mild to none. After the initial strokes a topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the area. Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.
After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. The feeling described in the area is similar to a light sunburn. You can take Tylenol but not aspirin or ibuprofen.

Avoid blood thinners because it will cause bleeding, swelling, hypersensitivity and slows healing.

You don’t have to remove hair from the eyebrows region

Please make sure to eat breakfast and/or lunch before appointment.
