WHAT IS MICROBLADING

A semi-permanent tattooing technique used to get thicker and fuller eyebrows.

HOW IT WORKS

Using a manual tattoo technique to enhance the eyebrows, tiny hair-like strokes are made while pigment is deposited into the epidermal layer of the skin. Due to the pigment fading over time, it is recommended to have a touch up done every 1-2 years to maintain results. Results may vary, sometimes touch-up may be required.

REQUIREMENTS BEFORE MICROBLADING

Microblading is not recommended for clients that are pregnant or nursing, under 18, have oily skin and large pores, are undergoing chemo, prone to keloid scarring, have uncontrolled diabetes, have used Accutane within the past year, are epileptic, or HIV/Hepatitis positive.


How to prepare:

DURING TREATMENT

Microblading can take up to 2 hours. Eyebrow mapping is done before the procedure where the artist will measure and draw the outline of the desired eyebrow shape. Then numbing cream is applied to the area. Next the artist will begin making tiny hair-like strokes to ultimately create a natural looking brow.

HOW PAINFUL IS MICROBLADING

We use the best quality numbing cream. Minor levels of pain and discomfort are expected.

MICROSHADING VS. MICROBLADING VS. COMBO?

Microblading leaves tiny, natural-looking hair strokes, while Microshading leaves small, pinpoint dots that create the whole look.  Combo  Brows  means a combination of microblading and powder brows shading,  At the end, your eyebrows will look fuller and thicker.

HEALING AND SCABBING

You can expect for the first couple of days, the colour of your new brows being bolder, and darker. Flaking and scabbing can start after 4-5 days. It is very important not to pick at these flakes or scabs. Picking can pull out the pigment leading to loss of colour in those spots.
