Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo procedure where a special handheld microblading eyebrow pen is used to draw on strokes that mimic the appearance of natural brow hair. Microblading creates the background and fills in the areas of the eyebrows that look empty so that a full look is accomplished. The “3D” effect added realism to the result.

We get mixed reviews on pain. Everyone has a different level of sensitivity, so topical anesthetics are applied before and during the treatment to alleviate any sensation or discomfort. Some clients naturally feel one brow sorer than the other. You will hear a scratch noise/ sensation throughout.

Most likely. Within a week of your first treatment, the color will fade significantly, and over the next four to six weeks can continue to shrink as much as 50%. This is considered an extremely positive occurrence as it allows you to reflect on your shape and color. After this period, your follow-up appointment is carried out. At this point, any changes you would like to make are discussed.

It will last as long as it’s maintained. How long brows last will vary on your skin type by how well your skin takes in pigment during the session and how dark you are willing to go depending on the scenario. After a touch-up, brows are expected to last from 1 1/2 to 3 years depending on the shade of choice you prefer, skin retention, time in the sun, and daily skin routines (more exfoliating products, faster the fade).

The procedure takes roughly two hours, sometimes more, sometimes less. Please allow a solid 3-hour window for your appointment. I likely won’t need that much time, but this isn’t something I want to rush.

No. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness and swelling will dissipate within an hour after. Your brows will appear darker initially, but not so dark that you will be prevented from your activities of daily living.

Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about a week to 14 days to form and slough off the epithelial crust. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin.

Eyebrow tattoo is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a touch-up between 6 to 10 weeks after. After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow design in pencil to get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical, and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities' eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs.). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately, it is your decision, but I will always voice my opinion on what suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows and decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited. During healing, it's normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch-up in place.

You are advised to keep the skin clean and dry - that means no swimming, sweating, or otherwise getting the area wet; no tanning or prolonged sun exposure; no picking, peeling, scratching, or rubbing the tattoo. This may result in a loss of color and scarring. You can still wash your hair and face, and once they’re healed up, you treat them as your own.

No. Every attempt is made to retain all-natural hair and integrate it into the design of the permanent eyebrows. In some cases, where the shaping of the natural brow is required, a few hairs here and there may need to be removed to create a clean and aesthetically pleasing result.

Unfortunately, I can't. How the skin will react is different for everyone, and many factors are to be considered. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc., all play a key role in your results, which is why it is essential to know that more than one touch-up may be required. There are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.

Although Microblading or Ombre shading tattoo is considered semi-permanent, the procedure allows flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like your decision, the Touch Up can be canceled, and the pigmented area naturally fades over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for more temporary options.
