Microblading

Microblading is known by many names such as microstroking, micro-pigmentation, 3D brows or feather strokes. It is the artistic technique of etching and inking hair like strokes into the upper layer of the skin. The result is a very natural fluffy brow tattoo.

The level of discomfort depends on the client. However I will apply a numbing cream to keep it at a minimum. Most of my clients say it just feels like a light scratching. After the procedure redness and possibly slight swelling may occur. 

Yes we custom design and shape your brows with a pre-draw before we begin microblading. You will get to approve the design before we start.

Below is a list of microblading precare considerations ahead of your microblading appointment as well as things to consider broken down by how close to your appointment day you are.

• You MUST be off Accutane for at least one year. NO EXCEPTIONS.
• Do NOT book your appointment before any major events.  For example vacations, social events, weddings, etc.
• Come to the appointment with the look you would like to achieve (optional).
• No botox prior to appointment for at least four weeks.
• Stop taking Retin-A or Retinol.  These must be avoided for thirty days before and after the procedure. In addition, this can cause the pigments to fade prematurely even after waiting for 30-days.
• At the time of appointment, you should not be pregnant, nursing a baby, or sick.

• No chemical peels, glycolic acid products, or any other similar products.
• Finish all antibiotics.

• Stop using growth serums like Latisse on eyebrows. This can not be started until two weeks after the procedure as well.
• Stop sunbathing, using tanning beds, and spray tans. This is because tanning will exfoliate and thus take color with it as it fades. Individuals with a tan or burn on the day of the appointment will be asked to reschedule.
• No eyebrow tinting or waxing.

• Stop taking aspirin, niacin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinner medication.

• No Alcohol.
• Drink a lot of water.

• Do NOT drink coffee or any caffeinated beverage.
• Do NOT workout or sweat. Body heat expands the pores.
• Avoid applying moisturizer to the forehead if having eyebrows done.
• On the day of the operation come in comfortable clothes. I recommend wearing dark clothing. Please avoid wearing white or light clothing.

In the first 24 hours just gently rinse your eyebrows with clean water. Make sure your hands are clean before rinsing and pat dry with a clean towel. Do this for the first 24 hours.

-After 24 hours do not let any lotion, soap, or make up touch your eyebrow area during the first 5 days after your procedure. 

❤After 5 to 7 days make sure your hands are completely clean and gently apply the post-care ointment I gave you. This can be done once at night time but be sure to use the ointment sparingly as your skin needs to heal itself. Please continue to apply the ointment for seven days.

🏃‍♀️It is also recommended that you avoid the following during all 14 days post Microblading:

Increase sweating, swimming, hot sauna or Jacuzzi, sun tanning, any laser or chemical treatments or peels, any creams containing Retin-A or glycolic acid on the face, picking or scratching of the micro pigmented area, performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning 🧹 (darn it 😜)where dust or particles or airborne debris can infect the Brows

❤️For the next two weeks please try to avoid picking peeling or scratching any of the microbladed pigmented area.

❤️Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post microblading procedure. However experience has shown that by following these aftercare instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.

❤️If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin please contact us immediately to discuss further instructions.

Also please contact a physician if any signs or symptoms develop such as the following: fever, redness at the site, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, or elevated body temperature.

❤️Contact me to set up your follow-up appointment 5-8 weeks from our initial appointment 

It’s great for that! However, I recommend sending me a photo of your eyebrows without makeup so I can review. Then I can let you know whether you’re a candidate.

Does Microblading Work On All And Skin Types?

If you have very oily skin, large pores, or a tendency to keloids, I do not recommend microblading.
