Microblading

What is Microblading & What are the Benefits

Microblading is a popular term used to describe cosmetic tattooing treatments designed to enhance the appearance of the brows. Depending on your natural brows, skin type, and desired result, your treatment may include realistic hair strokes, soft shading, or a combination of techniques to create a customized look.

​

Every brow treatment is personalized around your natural brow pattern, facial features, skin, and personal style to create a result that feels balanced, natural, and uniquely yours.

​

​During the treatment, pigment is carefully implanted into the skin using a specialized cosmetic tattooing technique. Depending on your customized treatment plan, this may involve creating realistic hair-like strokes, soft shading, or a combination of both. The result is a more defined, balanced, and customized brow designed to complement your natural features.

FAQ

Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo that is a semi-permanent procedure. It enhances the appearance of your eyebrows using specialized pigments implanted into the skin.

 

Microblade is typically what people think of when thinking of brow tattoos. However, there are several different styles of brows to choose from. 

 

Microblade: This technique mimics eyebrows using thin micro blades to create hair-like etches, filled with colored pigments. This is great for those who already have eyebrow hair and are needing to make them look more fuller. 

​

Ombre Brows: Also referred to as "powdered brows" or "microshade" is a technique that creates a more complete look. This is ideal for those who are not wanting to fill in their brows everyday. 

​

Combo Brows: This technique incorporates both Microblade & Microshade. Microblade is used at the front of each brow to create the hair-like stroke, then the rest will be filled in with the Microshade technique. This is great for those wanting something a little natural but with a more defined look. 

Most clients describe the treatment as mild to moderately uncomfortable. Comfort levels vary from person to person.

Immediately after treatment, your brows will appear darker. As they heal over the following weeks, the color softens and settles into a more natural appearance.

Initial healing typically takes 7–14 days, while the pigment continues to settle over approximately 4–6 weeks.

Yes. Most clients require a perfecting session 6–12 weeks after the initial appointment for optimal results.

As a precaution, cosmetic tattooing is generally not performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

  • Avoid Fish Oil 24 hours prior.

  • Discontinue Retin-A at least 2 weeks prior.

  • Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 weeks prior to procedure for those who do not regularly receive injectables.

  • No brow waxing, tinting, or threading one week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!

  • Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 2 weeks prior procedure.

  • Keep the the brow area clean by using gentle cleanser (such as Cetaphil).

  • Allow eyebrows to completely air dry before applying ointment. Apply the after care ointment given  (for the amount of days recommended by your artist) with a clean Q-Tip.

  • DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss!

  • COMPLETELY avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 2 weeks after your procedure.  Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyper pigmentation and scarring.

  • Avoid pool, sauna, steam rooms, hot showers and/or hot baths for 2 weeks.

  • Avoid sweating for 2 weeks. This may cause pigments to fade faster. 

  • Avoid sleeping on your face/brows for the first 2 weeks.

  • NO makeup or skincare products to be used on the treated area for 2 weeks.

  • NO facials, chemical treatments and microneedling near the brow area for 2 weeks.

  • NO botox for 2 weeks.

  • Once the brows has fully healed (can take up to 2 weeks), consider using SPF when going out in the sun to help prevent the color from fading.

The healing process is just as important as your appointment. During this time, it is important to properly care for your brows and allow them to heal naturally.

 

Your brows may initially appear darker and more defined than expected. As they heal, you may experience mild redness, sensitivity, itching, flaking, scabbing, and peeling. Do not scratch, pick, or pull at the treated area, as this may interfere with the healing process and affect pigment retention.

​

Initial healing typically takes up to 14 days. Your brows will gradually soften as the skin heals, and the color will continue to settle and develop over the following weeks.

 

Days 1–3: Initial Healing

Immediately following your procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or skin sensitivity. Your brows may also appear darker and more intense than the final healed result. These reactions are generally part of the normal healing process.

 

Days 4–7: Flaking & Peeling

The treated area may begin to feel itchy, dry, or flaky as the outer layer of skin starts to heal and shed. You may notice small flakes or scabbing.

Do not pick, scratch, or peel the area. Allow the skin to shed naturally. If the area becomes itchy, gently tap around the brows rather than scratching them.

 

Days 8–10: Shedding Phase

Scabbing and flaking may continue during this stage. The color may begin to look lighter, patchy, or uneven as the skin sheds and heals. This is a normal part of the healing process.

Avoid scratching, picking, or rubbing the brows. Allow the area to heal naturally.

 

Days 10–14: Color Begins to Settle

By this stage, most flaking and scabbing should be complete. The initial dark appearance will begin to soften, and the brows may start to reveal a more natural-looking color.

Remember that pigment can continue to settle and develop after the initial healing period. Your final healed results should be evaluated according to your artist's recommended healing and touch-up timeline.
