Microblading is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing where a small needle is used to implant colour pigment beneath the surface of the skin in the form of hair strokes. My process typically takes be 2 hours.

We use high quality numbing topical cream before the procedure to make sure our clients are as comfortable as possible. Slight discomfort is normal and can be compared to the feeling of scratching a sunburn or plucking hairs. Everyone's pain tolerance varies, but if it hurt too bad people probably wouldn't be doing it!

Typically, microblading can last anywhere from 1 to 2 years depending on your skin type/ sun exposure/ skincare routine/ and how well you take care of your brows while they are healing. If you have extremely oily skin you have a big chance of losing a lot of pigment during your healing process and will almost always require multiple sessions. Touch-ups are very common and most people will need to come in for at least two sessions of microblading to get the desired results. Because everyone has such different skin types and healing results, final results can never be guaranteed.

Switch to a daily moisturizer with SPF, sun damage is one of the main causes of pigment loss/dulling. Just like regular tattoos, you want to keep your brows out of direct sunlight as much as possible in order to preserve their colour.
Avoid using products with anti-aging properties on your microbladed brows. These products cause cellular turnover and can shorten the life of your brows.
Aftercare is the first step to ensuring your brows last as long as possible, make sure you follow all of the instructions you are given during your appointment!
