Usually Microblading is done in two sessions. The first session takes 2-3 hours in which the brows are shaped and styled to client's prefrence, and pigment is applied. 4-6 weeks later the client returns for the second session for touch up (perfecting appointment) and can take 1-3 hours. It takes about 10 days of healing in order for all redness to fade, thereafter the intial darkness of the eyebrows will begin to lighten. The color will continue to lighten over the period of about 30 days as it completely sets in.

The level of discomfort is relatively minor. Some compare it to tweezing 2-3 hairs at one time. Some also compare it to a paper cut. A topical anesthetic is used to numb during the second pass. Topical anesthetics are safe and may contain Lidocaine, Tetracaine, and Epinephrine. Post procedure: Redness and slight swelling in the area is common after the procedure. Often clients compare the feeling to a slight sunburn.

Touch up is necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore the outcome varies. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the color and brow thickness by adding more strokes. In the touch up session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client's satisfaction.

Generally Microblading last 6 months to 2 years, depending on the skin type such as normal, oily, dry and /or aged skin. It is not as permanent as a tattoo becuase the pigments are not implanted so deeply into the skin. Skin care can also effects the duration of the pigments. To maintain the brows it is required to have a touch up done every 6 months to a year.

Proper procedures and precautions are used to ensure a safe procedure. Either starilized tools or disposable tools are used in a sanitized environment. When pre and post care insrtuctions are followed the risk of complications are minimal. Allergic reactions to pigments are very rare but sometimes can accur. For this reason a pigment patch test for those with sensitive skin or to topical makeup product, gold, silver. nickle, or hair dyes should be patch tested a few days in advance of the procedure.

Carefully choose your practitioner. Discuss your expectations and desired outcome, including the shape, style, and color you wish with the artist. Realized that faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Adjustments may be made during touch up (perfecting appointment) such as pigment discoloration and color correction. Remember that Microbladed brows will eventually fade away if touch ups are not done within the time suggested.
