Microblading, also known by a variety of names such as eyebrow embroidery, microstroking, soft tap, and feather touch is a form of (semi) permanent tattoo that provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments into the epidermis with a manual tool comprised of several microneedles.

It depends, but typically 1 to 3 years. The most common factors that affect how long they last are: the person's age, skin type, sun exposure, skin care products you use, medications and lifestyle.

The most common automatic disqualifiers are if you are: under the age of 18, pregnant, breast feeding, prone to keloids, undergoing chemotherapy, have a pacemaker/major heart problems, viral infections/diseases. Other contraindications include but are no limited to: recent use of antibiotics, aha's/bha's, retinoids, laser and other facial treatments. When booking an appointment, you will be required to answer a questionnaire which will help us determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Everyone has a different pain tolerance. Some have compared the feeling to be similar to tweezing their eyebrows. I use a quality lidocaine, which is a numbing cream that helps make the procedure as pleasant as possible. Most say they feel nothing.

Initial healing is 10-14 days depending on the person. You will be required to limit UV exposure, refrain from heavy sweating and avoid getting them wet for 2 weeks. Healing is complete within 4-6 weeks.

For the initial brow, lip or eyeliner procedure it can be anywhere between 1-2 hours. For touch-ups, it is typically just under 1 hour.

NO sweating for 14 days! Avoid any exercise, since sweat and oils can cause the hair strokes to fade faster, blur and spread out. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.

Nothing on or near the brows for a full 2 weeks. You may wear eye makeup, and foundation, etc., but just don't go near the freshly done area! This is technically a wound and should not be exposed to any bacteria during the initial 2 week healing phase.

A touch-up is highly recommended (and included in the initial price) to fill in the areas where the skin might have rejected the pigments from the initial procedure and to add final touches to complete the brows. Occasionally a client may decide they want the work darker, thicker, etc. and these adjustments can be made at the 4-8 week touchup appointment. Understand that if you fail to attend your touchup appointment within 8 weeks of the original service, it will be forfeited.

If you have used accutane in the past 12 months then you will not be eligible for this procedure. You should not have a pace maker, be going through chemo or have been on antibiotics in the last 30 days. Understand that medicine changes the body's chemistry, which can cause the pigments not to attach to the body's cells. Therefore, pigment retention might not take so well for people who are on medications. Results vary for certain individuals. You may be required to provide medical authorization from your physician to receive a permanent makeup procedure.

Somewhat. Although the work performed during the process should ideally only be implanted into the epidermis, (not the dermis like traditional tattoo), it should be semi-permanent but sometimes fragments of pigment may remain indefinitely, which is why the results are so much more natural looking and crisp.
