F A Q' s
The pigment used in this procedure is semi-permanent, therefore the procedure typically lasts up to 12 months or longer. Because of the unique qualities of each individual’s skin and lifestyles, we are unable to guarantee how long your results will last. You will likely need a touchup within 9-18 months
The procedure is done using a hand tool, with a prepackaged, sterile, single use “blade” made up of a grouping of needles that are 3x smaller than the needles that would be used in a tattoo machine. With the appropriate amount of pressure, the skin is scored and the pigment is deposited into the epidermis (outermost layer of skin). Think paper-cuts!
Your first appointment will take between to 2 hours, as plenty of time will be taken to assure that we have created the shape you desire before the procedure is performed.
Your second appointment (8-12 week touch up) will be between 30-60 minutes.
You may experience slight discomfort during the first pass which takes about 2-3 minutes. (Nothing unbearable). Once we achieve the outline we will then apply a second numbing making the rest of the procedure virtually painless.
Each individual will have a different experience with the level of discomfort associated with the service. Some say it is relaxing and they only feel the pressure being applied. Others say it feels about as uncomfortable as tweezing. Still there are some who will feel that it is more uncomfortable. Two topical anesthetics are used to ensure your comfort level during the procedure. One is applied 10 minutes prior to beginning the procedure and the second is applied throughout the entire procedure.
When you leave from your appointment your brow area may appear reddish/pink, and the pigment itself will seem darker than you may prefer. The day after your appointment few people would notice anything unusual. Throughout the healing process (2 weeks) they will slowly fade to a softer, more natural shade, but they will not be unpresentable. The complete healing process takes between 6-8 weeks. There are a few factors that determine how your body heals such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. You may return to work or doing daily activities immediately after as long as you are following the proper after care instructions.
Absolutely not, this is a great option for those who suffer from Alopecia, Trichotillomania, or have been through Chemotherapy. Microblading can even correct past wax catastrophe, over tweezing, or the normal hair thinning that occurs post menopause.
Totally up to you Mom! We are extremely sanitary & use hospital grade disinfectants.
We NEVER re-use any needles! We encourage you to do your own research.
