What is Microblading?

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that involves using a fine blade to deposit pigment into the skin. The procedure is often used to improve the appearance of sparse or asymmetrical eyebrows by creating the illusion of fuller, thicker brows.

How is it Done?

First, one of our microblading artists will consult with you to assess your specific needs and goals. This is where we make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure. Using the golden ratio, we create the perfect eyebrow shape for your face. This step is crucial to finding the most natural-looking shape you will love at the end of the procedure. Numbing cream is applied at this time before the procedure begins.

Next, we use a sterile microblading pen to draw precise strokes on your skin. This pen has micro-needles attached at the end, which gives the hairlike strokes. Once the first strokes are drawn, numbing cream is reapplied to ensure your comfort during the remainder microblading process. Most clients agree that this is a relatively pain-free procedure and only need the two applications of numbing cream throughout the entire process.

Then, using the microblading pen, we begin making micro-incisions on your skin, following the drawn guidelines. These incisions will be filled with pigment. The pigment color is chosen based on your hair and skin tone. The wrong color can result in an unnatural-looking brow, so the goal is to select a shade that closely resembles your natural hair color to give results that look as natural as possible.

Once the pigment has been on the skin for the allotted time, we gently clean the brow area. Ensuring all remaining pigment is removed. The final results are natural-looking eyebrows that will balance out your face.

Shaping the Eyebrows

1. The Outside aligns from the bottom of the nose to the outer corner of the eye.
2. The arch peaks outside the iris and lies on the brow bone.
3. The inner side of the brow should align with the bridge of the nose.
4. Draw a line from the inner to the outer.

Microblading Precare & Aftercare

Fifty percent of the outcome of your brows is dependent upon proper aftercare. In order for your new brows to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are very IMPORTANT.

MICROBLADING/MICROSHADING PRE-CARE

Do not work out 24 hours before the procedure.
No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before the procedure.
Avoid sun and tanning one week before the procedure.
Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, or Advil/Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.
No brow waxing, tinting, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels one week before.
Discontinue Retin-A 4 Weeks Prior.
Do not use AHA skincare products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your procedure.
No Botox around the brow area 4 weeks prior.
Please Note: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.

MICROBLADING/MICROSHADING POST-CARE

Do not touch brows or the surrounding area for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, clean the brow area with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and water with freshly washed hands morning and night (2x/day). Do not use a washcloth or sponge; clean the area by moving toward the hair growth.
Allow eyebrows to air dry before applying a thin layer of Phi special aftercare serum.
Apply a very thin layer of the aftercare serum given (for the number of days recommended by your artist) with freshly washed hands or a Q tip.
DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring and pigment loss.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, pool (chlorine is irritating), sauna, steam rooms, hot showers, and/or hot baths for 3 weeks.
Avoid physical effort, gym, and any other activity that may cause excessive sweating for at least 5 and 14 days.
Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
NO makeup or skincare products will be used on the treated area for two weeks.
NO Botox around the brow area for 4 weeks after.
NO facials, chemical treatments, and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
After 14 days, once the area has healed completely, consider using sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color from fading. (At least SPF 30, if not 50)
Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 2 weeks after your procedure.
Avoid Retin-A close to the brow area.

PERMANENT MAKEUP IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY CLIENTS WHO...

ARE: Pregnant • Nursing (no exceptions)• Diabetic • Sick (cold, flu, etc.) • Allergic to anesthetic (Lidocaine) or nickel • Using blood thinner medications HAVE: Previous Permanent Makeup on the brow area, unless the density of color is 30% or less • Viral infections and/or diseases • Epilepsy • A pacemaker or major heart problems • Had an organ transplant • A tendency towards keloids • Seborrheic Dermatitis • Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.) • Had Botox in the past 2 weeks • Upcoming vacations or special occasions planned shortly after • Used Accutane (oral acne medication) in the past year • Excessively oily skin • Sensitive skin that tends to bleed easily

PLEASE NOTE: Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be anywhere from 20-40% darker and bolder in color and 15% thicker. This can last up to 10 days after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place (This is very common for all permanent cosmetic procedures). The treated area may feel sunburned afterward, but minimal discomfort should be. During the initial healing period, the skin should be minimal scabbing or flaking. If there is some scabbing or flaking, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own.

The healing process takes about 6-8 weeks when the true color is evident. During this process, it will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating. Wait at least 6 weeks to see the true color, as it seems to take on new strength, and it is only after 6-8 weeks that your retouch/adjustment can be made.

Microblading FAQs

Is Microblading Safe?

While microblading is generally considered safe, there are some potential minimal risks to be aware of. The main concern with microblading is the possibility of infection. Because microblading involves breaking the skin barrier, bacteria are likely to enter the skin and cause infection. Following the after-care instructions is key to your brows healing safely. There is also a risk of allergic reactions to the pigments used in microblading. While not heard of often, it is always best to be transparent and open with our artist during the initial consultation to avoid this situation.

Microshading vs Microblading

Microblading is a form of tattooing where pigment is implanted under your skin with a microblade to create the appearance of fuller, more evenly shaped eyebrows. It is often done by estheticians, beauticians, and cosmetologists. microshading is similar to microblading, but the pigment is deposited with a microshader instead of a micro blade. This creates a powdery look that can be used to fill in sparse brows or add definition to existing brows. Both microblading and microshading are semi-permanent procedures that last for 1-3 years. They are both considered to be low-risk and have minimal side effects. The main difference between microblading and microshading is the tool used to deposit the pigment under your skin. Microblading is done with a microblade, while microshading uses a microshader. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Microblading tends to create more natural-looking brows, while microshading can be used to create a more defined look. However, microshading may require more touch-ups than microblading due to how the pigment is deposited under your skin. Ultimately, your best method depends on your skin type and desired look.

Eyebrow Tattoo vs Microblading

If you're considering getting your eyebrows done, you may wonder whether to go for microblading or an eyebrow tattoo. Both options can give you beautiful, fuller brows, but some key differences exist. Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that involves using a fine blade to deposit pigment into the skin. This results in very natural-looking brows lasting up to 18 months. On the other hand, eyebrow tattoos are permanent and use a machine to embed pigment into the skin. This can give you darker, more defined brows, but it's also a more significant commitment. So, which is right for you? Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preference and what look you're going for. If you want natural-looking brows that will require some upkeep, microblading is a great option. If you're looking for something more low-maintenance, an eyebrow tattoo may be the way to go.

Powder Brows vs Microblading

Microblading is a newer technique that offers more precise results than powder brows. It involves using a fine blade to deposit pigment into the skin in small, individual strokes. This creates the appearance of natural, hair-like strokes that can fill in any gaps in your brows. microblading is an excellent option for those who want a more defined brow look. However, it is essential to note that microblading is a semi-permanent procedure, so you will need to undergo touch-ups every 12 to 18 months to maintain your results. On the other hand, powder brows is a much simpler procedure that can be done in just one session. It involves lightly filling your brows with a powdered pigment that matches your natural hair color. This gives you a more subtle, natural-looking result that can last up to two years with minimal maintenance. If you're looking for a more low-maintenance option, powder brows may be your best choice.

Can Men Get Microblading?

Microblading is a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves using fine needles to deposit pigment into the skin. The results can last for several years and are often used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. Although microblading is primarily associated with women, there is no reason why men can't get microbladed eyebrows as well. Many men are now turning to microblading to achieve fuller, more defined brows, beards, and hairlines. With the help of a skilled microblading artist, men can enjoy the benefits of microbladed eyebrows just like women.

Is Microblading Permanent?

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that involves using a small handheld tool to deposit pigment into the skin. While microblading is a permanent cosmetic procedure, the results are not permanent. The pigment will eventually fade, so touch-ups will be necessary to maintain the desired results. However, microblading is still a more permanent solution than other temporary options like eyebrow pencils and powder. With proper care and maintenance, microbladed eyebrows can last for many years before they need to be refreshed.

How Much Does Microblading Cost?

Can You Get Microblading Done While Pregnant?

Pregnant women are advised against microblading because of the risks involved. The skin is susceptible during pregnancy, making it more vulnerable to infection. In addition, the hormones released during pregnancy can cause the skin to heal differently than usual, leading to scarring. Finally, microblading can increase pigment production, harming the developing baby. For all these reasons, it is best to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are done.

How Long Does Microblading Last?

Unlike traditional tattooing, microblading is a semi-permanent procedure that typically lasts for one to three years. The length of time that microblading lasts can vary depending on several factors, including skin type, age, sun exposure, and skincare routine. However, touch-ups are typically needed every 12 to 18 months to maintain the desired results. While microblading is not a permanent solution for fuller brows, it is an ideal option for those who want to achieve a natural-looking result without the commitment of traditional tattooing.

Does Microblading Hurt?

Microblading is a new trend in the beauty world. The process involves using a fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin, creating the appearance of fuller, more defined brows. But does microblading hurt? The short answer is that it can. microblading is done by hand, so the technician will use a microblade tool to scrape your skin. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, so some people may find the process more painful than others. Numbing cream is used to help reduce discomfort, and we can reapply it during the procedure. If you're considering microblading, be prepared for some discomfort, but know we are here to minimize it.

How Long Does Microblading Take?

How long does a microblading procedure take? The answer may surprise you - the entire process usually takes about two hours! This includes the time it takes to consult with your microblading artist and discuss your desired look. Touch-up appointments will take less time since your artist already has a desired look and shape guide. So, investing a couple of hours is worth it to achieve long-lasting results.
