Microblading

What is microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of eyebrows. it involves using handheld tool with fine needles to deposit pigment into the skin, creating hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs. The results can last from one to three years, depending on the skin type and aftercare. 

​

Pre-care instructions before your microblading appointment:

- No tanning or sunburns 1 week prior to appointment

- No waxing 1 week prior to appointment

- No blood thinners 3 days prior to appointment 

- No Vitamin E, Aspirin, Niacin, or Ibuprofen 24 hours before appointment 

- No Alcohol or caffeine day of appointment 

- No botox 4 weeks before appointment 

* Please note you can be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle

​

What to expect during your appointment (Appointments run about 2 hours): 

- Numbing (20 minutes) I use a high strength professional lidocaine numbing cream that will effectively numb the brows before the procedure.

- Brow mapping (15 minutes) Using professional measuring tools and your input I will map out a brow outline that is best proportioned to you and your face. The brows will be as symmetrical as they can be based on each individual and their face, resulting in a natural soft familiar look. 

- Microblading (1 hour) This is where i'll use my professional sterile equipment to hand implant pigment into your skin to give you the best brows possible! 

- Reveal and aftercare (10 minutes) This is where you see your new brows and we go over aftercare and the special instructions needed to keep your brows looking and healing the best they can. 

- Schedule your touchup appointment which will be 6-8 weeks later 

​

Aftercare instructions:

First 24 hours: Feel free to dab brows gently with a clean paper towel every few hours. **Do not get your brows wet for 24 hours
