What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that creates the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows. Our master aesthetician uses a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles to delicately deposit pigment into the upper layers of your skin, replicating the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs.

Is Microblading a Tattoo?

No, microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves creating hair-like strokes with pigment to enhance the look of your eyebrows. Unlike tattoos, microblading should never appear as solid blocks of color because the pigment is inserted into the skin in very small amounts. Because it is semi-permanent, it will require a touch up anywhere between three and six months after the initial appointment.

Who Should Not Get Microblading?

Microblading is not suitable for everyone. If you have any of the following conditions, microblading may not be right for you:

• Sensitive skin
• Skin disorders such as psoriasis or eczema
• Recent sunburns
• Active acne and/or open lesions in the area to be treated
• Allergies and/or adverse reactions to permanent makeup
• Diabetes
• Pregnant or nursing mothers
• History of keloids

What is Microshading?

Microshading is for soft, powder brows that mimic the look of makeup. Small dots of pigment are applied to the skin using a manual hand tool with ultra-fine needles. The pigment is gently rubbed into the skin and creates a soft look, giving your eyebrows more depth and definition. Microshading resembles eyebrow powder, giving your eyebrows a thicker and fuller appearance.

Microblading vs. Microshading

Both microblading and microshading are semi-permanent procedures designed to give the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows. The main difference is that in microblading individual hair-like strokes are used to create a natural look, while in microshading a technique similar to eyebrow powder is used. Microshading can be a great option for those who want a more dramatic look, as it can give your eyebrows a thicker and fuller appearance.

The Microblading Procedure

1. Consultation: During the initial consultation with your microblading artist, you will discuss your desired results and expected outcomes. They will evaluate your skin type and natural eyebrow shape to determine the perfect look for you.
2. Measurement and Marking: Before beginning the procedure, your artist will measure the face and determine the ideal shape and size for your new eyebrows. Once the shape is determined, a stencil will be created and applied to ensure perfect symmetry.
3. Numbing: Before starting the procedure, we will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the process.
4. Pigment Application: Your artist will use a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles to delicately deposit pigment into the upper layers of your skin, replicating the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs.
5. Aftercare: Once the microblading procedure is complete, you will need to follow a strict aftercare regimen for optimal results and longevity. Your artist will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new brows during the healing process.
6. Follow up: We recommend returning two to four months after your initial appointment for a touch up to ensure you are completely satisfied with the results. 

The Microshading Procedure

The procedure for microshading is similar to microblading. The biggest difference is the pigment application. In microshading, pin-like dots of pigmentation are deposited to create a soft, powdered look. In microblading, a bladed needle is used to create hair-like strokes that look like natural eyebrow hair.

You will need to return for a touch up approximately 8 weeks after your initial appointment. This touch up appointment is necessary to adjust the shape and color of your brows, and to ensure you are completely satisfied with the look.

Microshading Healing Process

Your microshading will heal over a period of 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, you may experience redness and some scabbing as your skin heals. Do not pick at the scabs and make sure to follow the after-care instructions.

Aftercare For Microblading and Microshading

To ensure the best possible results, it is important to follow a few simple steps in order to properly care for your new eyebrows.

1. Gently cleanse the eyebrows with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
2. Apply a thin layer of ointment to the eyebrows twice daily for the first seven days after treatment, and then switch to a moisturizing cream.
3. Avoid direct sun exposure and any activities that may cause sweating or water contact for at least one week after the procedure.
4. Avoid applying makeup directly onto your eyebrows until they are completely healed (approximately 4 weeks).
5. Always use sunscreen if you plan on exposing your eyebrows to direct sunlight.
