Is a semi-permanent tattooing technique
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hair like strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows. The practice aims to give you an effortless full brow ― no need for expensive brow pencils or gels. Microblading is semi-permanent, your own immune system will digest the ink and also push out the pigment as well. Over time these looks tend to fade.” It lasts for twelve to eighteen months depending on your skin and lifestyle.
Microblading does require touchups yearly or bi-yearly, but at least you won’t be stuck forever with eyebrows that you don’t like, in case you don’t like how yours come out.
The average person needs two sessions ― The first session, and then they can come back four weeks later for a touch-up session. “The touch-up session is because, depending on their skin type, their skin may push out a bit of ink and in some places the hair strokes won’t be as saturated as we want them. You can tell if there’s minor imperfections after the first session that need to be filled in.
The appointment takes up to two hours per client
Oily skin types are the most difficult skin type to work with sometimes they reject the pigment, and more concerning, they are prone to pigment hydration, which is where the pigment fans into each other, the strokes sort of blend and it ends up looking like a powder-filled brow more than it looks like distinct strokes. If you have a tendency to scar or retain keloids very easily, you might not want to have this procedure. We use a topical numbing cream to ease the pain considerably, still the client might experience some discomfort. The brow is going to look darker and it will lighten up within a few days, this is part of the process.
Aftercare
After care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
Keep the area clean by washing with freshly washed hands and a mild soap. Do not use a washcloth or sponge to remove soap. Simply splash with water. Do not use cleansing creams, acne cleansers or astringents. Use a mild, natural soap.
Apply the aftercare balm with freshly washed hands or a Q-tip. If the balm is too stiff to use simply warm it up in a glass of warm water or on your finger. Use the balm very sparingly. Too little is better than too much. Blot off excess with a clean tissue. Never touch the procedure area without washing your hands immediately before.
- Do not scrub, rub or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself. If it is removed before it is ready the pigment underneath it can be pulled out.
- Do not use any makeup near the procedure area including mascara for eyeliner procedures for at least 3 days. Purchase new mascara and makeup if possible to avoid contamination or bacterial infection.
- Always use a sun block after the procedure area is healed to protect from sun fading. What’s normal?
- Mild swelling, itching, light scabbing, light bruising and dry tightness. Ice packs are a nice relief for swelling and bruising. Aftercare balm is nice for scabbing and tightness.
- Too dark and slightly uneven appearance. After 2-7 days the darkness will fade and once swelling dissipates unevenness usually disappears. If they are too dark or still a bit uneven after 4 weeks then we will make adjustments during the touch up appointment.
- Color change or color loss. As the procedure area heals the color will lighten and sometimes seem to disappear. This can all be addressed during the touch up appointment and is why the touch up is necessary. The procedure area has to be completely healed before we can address any concerns. This takes about four weeks.
- Needing a touch up months or years later. A touch up may be needed 6 months to 18 months after the touch up procedure depending on your skin, medications and sun exposure. We recommend the touch up 30 days after the first session (may be included in today’s price) and every 6 months to 18 months to keep them looking fresh and beautiful.
All of our services stop 5 minutes prior to the end of each session.
