Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure used to enhance and define eyebrows by using a sterile, handheld tool to create small, hair-like strokes with pigment.
Some discomfort may be felt during the procedure, but most people describe it as a mild sensation similar to getting your eyebrows threaded/plucked.. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimize any discomfort.
Microblading typically lasts for 18-24 months, although it can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch ups should be every 6-9 months.
The initial appointment can take between 2-2.5 hours, including the consultation and numbing time. The “perfecting” touch-up appointment is usually required 6-8 weeks later, which typically takes around 1-2 hours.
It's important to note that not everyone is a good candidate for microblading. People with certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, may need to avoid this procedure. It's always best to consult with a qualified microblading professional to determine if this procedure is right for you.
Before your appointment, you should avoid alcohol, aspirin, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for at least 24 hours. You should also avoid waxing, threading, or plucking your eyebrows for at least a week before your appointment.
Aftercare is crucial for the success and longevity of your microblading results. Be prepared to avoid getting your eyebrows wet for at least 10 days, avoid sun exposure and excessive sweating, and follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by your technician.
You should avoid wearing makeup on or around the treated area for at least 10 days after the procedure. Once the area has fully healed, you can resume wearing makeup as usual.
During the healing process, your eyebrows may appear a bit darker, thicker, and more defined than you were expecting. You may also experience some scabbing, itching, and flaking as the area heals.
Depending on the style that's best for you, the cost of microblading ranges from $500-$600. This price is based on years of experience, professionalism and level of customization.
Aftercare
You’re only going to wash the microbladed area once before bed and once the morning after. Apply the microblading aftercare ointment after each wash. After that, you’re going to leave that area completely DRY for approximately 10-14 days until your scabs are fully gone.

• Touching the microbladed area except when washing or applying aftercare ointment.
• Scratching, picking or peeling the microbladed area, as it can cause scarring and/or color loss.
• Applying any makeup, moisturizer, lotion, or sunscreen to your eyebrows.
• Sun exposure - sun tanning - salon tanning
Laser or chemical peels, and any other form of exfoliation.
• Exercise - participating in sports and activities that induce perspiration
• Long, hot baths or showers - jacuzzis - saunas - swimming
• Applying any creams to your face or neck containing retinol or glycolic acid.
• Engaging in tasks like heavy household cleaning where airborne debris can become prevalent.
• Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, as it can cause wounds to heal slower.
• Transportation in open-air-vehicles where strong wind is likely, for example; driving in cars with windows down, convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, and boats.
How: Use your clean fingertips and the antibacterial soap provided, to gently cleanse your eyebrows for 5-10 seconds.
Avoid using any cleansing products that contain exfoliants or acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA).
Keep in mind the cleansing shouldn't be a thorough scrub-down, it just needs to be done by rubbing the microbladed area in a soft, smooth manner.
When rinsing, be sure to rinse every trace of soap from the microbladed area.
Dry the entire eyebrow area completely by blotting it with a clean tissue.
Use a clean finger to apply a small amount of the microblading aftercare ointment to the microbladed area.
Do not apply the ointment unless the area is dry.
Less is more when considering how much ointment to apply; the amount applied to each eyebrow should be comparable in size to half of a grain of rice.
Resume your normal activities except, continue to avoid laser or chemical peels and forms of exfoliation, and any creams containing retinol or glycolic acid until after the completion of your microblading touch up and its healing as well. The “perfecting” touch up is recommended 6-8 weeks after the first appointment. After that, touch ups are recommended every 6-9 months. Hope you love your new brows, see you soon!
