Microblading

• Consultation: The process begins with a consultation where the client discusses their desired eyebrow shape, color, and overall look with the technician. This is a crucial step to ensure client expectations are understood.

• Pre-Procedure Preparation: The client is advised to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications or supplements to reduce the likelihood of bleeding during the procedure. The skin should be free from sunburn or irritation.
• Brow Shaping and Design: The technician carefully measures and outlines the desired eyebrow shape directly on the skin. This template serves as a guide to ensure symmetry and client satisfaction with the shape before microblading begins.
• Skin Sanitization: The eyebrow area is then sanitized to prevent infection. A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
• Microblading: Using a hand-held microblading tool with fine needles, the technician meticulously creates hair-like strokes, implanting pigment into the upper layers of the skin. This step is done with precision to mimic natural eyebrow hairs.
• Pigment Setting: After the microblading is complete, additional pigment may be applied over the strokes to ensure even color saturation.
• Cleaning and Soothing: The area is gently cleaned to remove excess pigment. A soothing ointment is applied to help with healing and reduce redness or swelling.
• Aftercare Instructions: The technician provides detailed aftercare instructions. These typically include keeping the area dry and clean, avoiding makeup on the brows, and not picking at any scabs that form.
• Follow-up Appointment Scheduling: A follow-up appointment, usually 4-6 weeks later, is scheduled for any necessary touch-ups. This session allows the technician to fill in any areas where the pigment may not have taken well or make minor adjustments to the shape or color.

• Aftercare Follow-up: Clients may be advised to follow up with the technician if they experience any unexpected issues or have concerns about the healing process.

• Keep the Area Dry: Avoid getting the brows wet for at least 7-10 days post-procedure. This includes avoiding direct shower water, heavy sweating, swimming, or any other water-based activities.

• Clean Gently: If advised by your technician, gently clean the area with a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry very carefully and do not rub.
• Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products: Refrain from using makeup, creams, and serums on or around the brow area for at least a week. This prevents infections and allows the skin to heal properly.
• Do Not Pick or Scratch: As the area heals, it may scab or flake. Do not pick or scratch at the scabs as this can pull out the pigment and lead to patchy results.
• Apply Healing Balm: If your technician provides or recommends a healing balm, use it as directed. This helps in the healing process and keeps the brows moisturized.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep your brows protected from direct sunlight. When going out, wear a hat or apply a sunscreen specifically designed for use on the face and sensitive areas.
• Stay Away from Exfoliating Products: Do not use exfoliating treatments like acids, scrubs, or retinoids around the brow area for at least 4 weeks as they can fade the pigment.
• Sleep Carefully: Try to sleep on your back to avoid pressure on your brows, which can cause smudging and uneven healing.
• Avoid Saunas and Steam Baths: High temperatures and humidity can affect the healing process and pigment retention, so it's best to avoid saunas and steam baths for a couple of weeks.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any scheduled touch-up appointments, usually 4-6 weeks after the initial session, as this is crucial for the final outcome of the brows.
• Patience with Color Settling: The color may appear very dark immediately after the procedure. It will fade and soften over the first few weeks. Allow time for the true color to settle.

• Consult with Your Technician: For any concerns or unusual reactions, contact your microblading technician immediately.

Microblading typically lasts between 1-2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine.

Pain levels vary from person to person, but a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

The procedure usually takes about 2-3 hours, including consultation, shaping, and the actual microblading.

Most people can have Microblading, but it's not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, blood thinners, and certain supplements that may increase bleeding, at least 24 hours before the procedure.

Microblading involves implanting pigment under the skin in fine strokes that mimic natural hairs, whereas traditional tattooing uses a machine and results in a more solid, filled-in look.

Your technician will help you choose a shape and color that complements your natural features and skin tone during the consultation.

Microblading is designed to look as natural as possible, mimicking the appearance of real eyebrow hairs.

Touch-up sessions, usually scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment, involve fine-tuning the shape and filling in any areas where pigment may not have taken well.

There's no significant downtime, but the brow area may be red and sensitive immediately following the procedure.

You should avoid applying makeup directly on the brows for at least a week after the procedure to ensure proper healing.

Avoid direct sunlight and use SPF on your brows, avoid exfoliating the brow area, and keep them moisturized.
